Grassy Knoll: The Cursed Chapel

DECREE FROM OXENFURT CURIA

Between the water and wind mills, within the threshold of the village of Brunwich in the northeastern corner of Gustfields, is a white-washed wooden chapel, with a sternly-worded note pinned near its door. The Church of the Eternal Fire has deemed this holy site “befouled.” You find the remains of the priest, Father Glaedfried, on the left (north) side of the chapel. Gather the following from his corpse.

A quick skim through the diary, which is covered in blood and heavily damaged, reveals Father Glaedfried to be a member of the Eternal Fire, visiting the “heathens” of this village, who were afraid to enter this chapel. Not so Father Glaedfried, who wrote about entering the chapel alone, armed only with the light of the Eternal Fire. It looks like that torch got snuffed out.

THE CURSED MOTHER OF BRUNWICH

Beneath the giant oak, behind the chapel, is a ceremonial circle. Three wraiths appear as you close in on the crypt entrance. They must be dispatched in the usual manner. Afterwards, a cursory glance at the graves left of the crypt entrance indicates blood sacrifice. Use the crypt key to open the door.

Descend into the large crypt chamber and advance to the central circle. Father Glaedfried’s diary proves to be correct. A lurking fear is terrorizing this place, a village elder’s wife now taking the form of a Nightwraith. Consult this guide’s bestiary (placing Yrden and coating your sword with specter oil, using Moon Dust bombs to stop the wraith’s disappearing, and switch to ranged crossbow strikes if she splits into three forms). Then make a thorough search of the coffins, sacks, and wall tombs; two of the sacks contain actual pieces of New Moon armor, making this exploration well worthwhile! Finally, inspect the corpse containing a variety of items, as well as a note explaining exactly what transpired here.
