Rumors: Deep in the Stonewood hills there is a Wretched Crypt with a sleeping undead. This undead is dangerous but not if you take the proper precautions. His weakness is simply the primary color, yellow. If you prominently wear this into his crypt and do not bring any perishable food, you will not wake him, and while he slumbers, he will fall quickly to your blade.
– A Whisper in the Dark
Running Notes: They are a jovial bunch and are kind and decent to the PCs. Use this as a chance for NPC’s to take a break from fighting and get some food, and socialize. The Knights are spending time in the town and need to give out a lot of lore about the setting. This is a chance to really describe the area beyond the town.
