The village of Bridston could be any of the small settlements that scatter the shores of the Inner Sea but for the glowering presence of the Bride Stones on the common. Local legends say these mysterious stones are the petrified wives of a long-forgotten king of Khaarastad, but the truth is that nobody now living knows who built them or why. They have silently observed village life for longer than anyone can remember and, apart from a muttered prayer to ward off ancient spirits by the superstitious, most people pass them without thought. Something about their nature means that they are an irresistible beacon for any compass used within 20 leagues of them, making Bridston an easy-to-find waystation for traders and other travellers, like your party. This meant that you had been breaking your journey there – and enjoying the excellent dark ale of the Chits Head tavern – when you heard screams coming from outside. Your investigations revealed that the Bride Stones had come alive with energy and the restless dead are shambling in their baleful rune light.
Can you defeat the warped Revenants that have been created as part of a dark sacrifice and save the village from the dead and a blazing fire? If you can, you will receive some rare crafting ingredients and clues that will set you on a trail towards a hidden relic…
This Quest uses the Beyond The Vaults rules and our Fantasy Village terrain. It is the first part of a mini-campaign to recover a powerful ancient relic called the Soul Siphon.
