Haunted Home Crypt

GameMaster September 19, 2023 3 min read

Synopsis

In the ghostly glow of the moon, a child, once innocent, is now ensnared by the malevolent grip of a dark entity, a whisper of evil that reverberates through the hollow night air. The group of courageous souls, united by fate, venture deep into the forsaken heart of the town, determined to liberate the anguished father from the clutches of the darkness that has seeped into every crevice of his home.

Their quest leads them through the creaking halls of a house tainted with a malefic past. A place where shadows dance ominously on the walls, echoing the macabre waltz of a wicked woman who once claimed this abode as her unholy sanctuary.

Years ago, in the sinister bowels of this very house, the basement bore witness to the most nefarious rituals known to mankind. There, in the chilling dampness, she and her cult engaged in unspeakable ceremonies, their twisted faces illuminated by the flickering flames of black candles. With heartless glee, they preyed upon the town’s most vulnerable, the innocent children, whose cries of despair echoed through the tunnels as they were sacrificed upon the grim altar in a futile attempt to beckon the Dark Prince from the abyss.

But the wicked could not prevail. Their reign of terror was annihilated, their dark energies dispersed into the night as the townspeople rose against them, banishing them from their sacred land, leaving nothing but whispers of their abominable acts.

And yet, the residence stood, a lone sentinel harboring the malevolent energies of its past. A naïve family, oblivious to the darkness that saturated its foundations, soon took residence, drawn into a swirling vortex of madness and paranormal torment. The father, once robust and joyful, found himself ensnared in the tendrils of insanity that seeped from the walls, consuming his mind with phantasms of the grotesque.

In the midst of the encroaching darkness, a child, whose innocence should have been their shield, became a vessel of evil, channeling the demonic murmurs from realms beyond their understanding. In their sweet voice now resided the raspy whispers of the netherworld, speaking languages long lost to time and sanity.

And thus, under the watchful eye of the moon, a group embarks upon a perilous journey into the depths of evil, vowing to sever the dark bonds that strangle the town. With every step, the chilling winds whisper tales of the wickedness that once ruled here, urging them forward into the unknown. As they traverse deeper into the house of horrors, they steel themselves against the unspeakable terrors they are yet to face, for the adventure has just begun, and the darkness is far from relinquished…

Adventure Note

Consider that the father has an item that possesses on touch (i.e. necklace, ring, anything) – and should lay that item to rest in A10, throwing it into the pit, inside the altar room.
