Bluebell Crest
The party bid farewell to the priest and they head for the local tavern wanting a nights rest. The party looks for a quest to do which leads them to asking the barkeeper for a job. The barkeeper tells them about a crypt that’s had sightings of skeletons walking around and asks them to do the job for 20 copper. The party try to negotiate with the barkeep to raise the reward but the barkeep was very adamant about keeping the reward under 50 copper which lucifer strikes odd and feels the barkeep is withholding information about the quest. Lucifer trying to find out what the barkeep is not telling them he strikes the bar with his hammer which scares the barkeep and he reveals that he was not the one requesting but the maverick family that resides in the village and the barkeep was just trying to get someone to do it so he could easily profit.
Lucifer heads to the mavericks by himself while his companions talk amongst each other and he finds out that the mavericks ancestor was a powerful cleric and that he is buried in the crypt that is having issues with the skeletons which is the mavericks family crypt. The maverick that Lucifer speaks to tells him if he can find the source of the issue and solve it he will give an extra reward to him. Lucifer accepts the quest from him and goes back to town to tell his companions After which they all decide to go and do it without delay so that no danger will come to the villagers. Once they arrive they notice two skeletons walking around which Lucifer infers they came from the crypt and are the mavericks that are buried here.
The adventurers take care of the skeletons and head down into the crypt. The crypt is comprised of a large hall that leads into the eastern crypt beyond the eastern crypt lies an antechamber that leads to the southern crypt and the northern crypt as well as the family shrine. The players clear out the eastern, northern, and the southern crypts which contained skeletons, After the party take care of these crypts they head for the Family shrine which they have to break down the door to get to. When the party enters this room they see the coffin of the cleric which is labeled Davos which seems to have been broken into and they also see a figure they cant quite make out in the corner of the room. The party approaches the figure and when they get closer they see a ghoul eating someone which takes the party by surprise, Stitches immediately fires an eldritch blast at the ghoul which angers it and it dashes toward them. The party fight the ghoul and the ghoul drags Cain away taking bites out of him during the fight but the party eventually manage to defeat the creature. After defeating the ghoul the party look into the coffin seeing that Davos skeleton is missing its skull, The party also search the body that the ghoul was eating they find a small satchel that contains a journal. They read the journal and it reveals that the body’s name was Gorgus and that he was a member of the cult of Darian which they call the “True god”. The cult is working on summoning a devil named Durgon so that he can kill the town as sacrifice to Darian and they need the skull of Davos to do so. They find a map in the satchel which leads to the cults hideout in the town which the party decides to follow.
The party get back to town and they arrive in front of the cults hideout which is an abandoned building. The party enters the abandoned warehouse which leads to an basement and the party overhear some cultists in the entrance and they learn that the cultists spells have unintendedly reanimating the dead and that they had to lock a fellow cultist Northam in a room because he became a ghast. The party eliminate the cultists in the entrance and Oscar manages to find a hidden room and they find crates of materials that is worth 500 copper all together and they find an alchemy jug in a locked crate. The party find a room with cultists uniforms and they decide to disguise themselves and they enter a meeting room with four cultists. The party deceive the cultists into believing their new recruits and they convince one cultist to leave his weapons behind while they go to the altar where the second in command is currently praying. The party get to the altar and they find the second in command praying with two other cultists and children in a cage which is supposed to belong to the actual new recruits and they are supposed to sacrifice them. The party fight the cultists in attempt to free the children but once the second in command died the children magically explode which Oscar is traumatized by as he has never witnessed anything like this in his life. While Oscar reflects the rest of the party decide to take care of the ghast, after that they search the body of the cultists they find a letter from the leader of the cultists which tells the second in command to come to the abandoned temple the next night for the ritual and the letter includes a rough map to the temple on the back. The party decide to rest to get ready for the battle the next day.

In each chamber they had to fight the statue that resided in the middle of the room and after defeating each statue they would receive a silver weapon representing each statue. After these battles the party finds the cult leader and he has already finished the ritual. Cain being a changeling altars his voice to sound like the second in command but he didn’t realize that the second in command has never spoken during their battle this is because he was a mute so the cult leader immediately knows that they are fakes and attack the party.
