June's Third Map preview - Cophinnale & Sons Undertakers
Added 2024-05-30 13:44:29 +0000 UTCHi everyone,
Here's your preview of the next Third Map. I'm sure was suggested a few months ago, but either way it ended up on our planning lists, and is now here!
A multilevel 30x30 map with viewing rooms, workshops, prep rooms, living areas, outside yard, and a small morgue and embalming room downstairs.

2024-05-31 07:33:43 +0000 UTCThe PCs are religious investigators who are contacted by a mortician who reports several of his 'clients' have disappeared as he slept upstairs though he didn't hear a sound. He suspects the dead are coming to life and walking away. The PCs must discover one of the mortician's apprentices is drugging the mortician so he does not hear him dragging the corpses out at night. The apprentice sells the bodies to a physician who is doing research and is illegally dissecting and studying the bodies, so they learn it is not a case of a the undead at all. If the PCs track down the rogue physician, they find the bodies mutilated and combined with other animals and combined into multi corpses. If they attempt to arrest the physician, he will evade the PCs and lock himself in a room behind a heavy metal door muttering gibberish. Soon after, the corpses begin to stir and attack the PCs. I guess ot was the undead after all! The map will be great for an extensive investigation of the most recent empty coffin, investigation of the corpses before and after embalming, finding hidden clues, like the compounds used to drug the mortician, a note to the apprentice from a stranger establishing a price for an unknown commodity, and some red herrings like a large dusty tome of poems and a creepy doll that has eyes that appear to follow the PCs where ever they walk. I am also thinking about this months Lost Library of Caddeus as the lair of the physician/necromancer. Something like that anyway.
