Notes

Beginning of Session Todo

Summarize they woke up, have no real memory of how they got there, killed some undead, killed a quick zombie and found a magic charm, stole from the crypt. Ryan's character got bit bad.

Plans

Have them meet Mayor Cauldwell, a jerk, bossy, demeaning. He sees the party coming out of the crypt and they're terrifying, a freak show, Cobb has told him they appeared and killed some undead that were in the crypt. Cauldwell wants to know what they want, and how to get them out of town. If they seem logical and dumb and weird, he'll think to use them to handle the undead in the village people have been seeing. He wants safety, to retain control, and to make those around him feel inferior so he can feel superior.

Plothooks

• Cauldwell might ask them to help handle nearby undead.
• Kalick, Temple Cleric ask to help undead, can also inspect and identify the charm as somehow containing magic. Looks sylvan.
• Can randomly hear yelling inside of a house
• Talking with people on persuasion/intimidation can reveal hearing odd things at night, high rolls reveal someone seeing something move, not the wind, but unnatural.
• Investigation checks looking for evidence finds a dead spot of grass, brush and trees just outside the village, leading to a hole. Hole leads to bodak abode with things

Alternate: if they wait at night they hear yells and a red head (Bernaldo, AC 11, hp: 13, death saves) is running perpendicular to party, chased by 3 wild dogs. He has blood on one leg, but it's not his. Make 1 dog late. If rescued, says he felt spooked by something and then suddenly a chill on his neck and felt something cold and wet splash on his leg. After that he heard howls and started running. If he dies he has clothes, 27gp, a brush identifiable with Investigation 15 as horse brush, a 10 in investigation tells them it's animal related and then can make Animal Handling DC10 as horse brush. He is a horse caretaker apprentice, and sad scene with horse man.

If they wait at night, skill checks to see/find undead, multiple, misty, mini boss fight?? Sneaky bodak, opportunistic. With the undead being stirred up it's stirring up older preexisting undead as well. Rare creature not heard of. If they kill it, town in an uproar, crazy scene in the morning. Mayor is less of a dick. The town is an npc, scared, angry, wanting normalcy, confused. Present a +1 shortsword to kill it (actually Weapon of Need).
