Session 1: Eastbrook Caravan

Plot Hook: The party has been hired by a leader in the town of Eastbrook (a day’s journey east of the city) to help escort a small caravan of cargo that are currently being gathered and will be ready shortly.

That evening they meet the Lord’s stewart, Brother Maynard, in the tavern where they are given rooms and a modest meal and mead. There is a promise of payment of X gold for their efforts to secure the caravan for its delivery.

Log: Return to Eastbrook
Summary: Three bloodied pages were found in the temple along with the body of the priest (Father Maynard) who had his heart cut out. As the party was wrapping up their investigation in the temple, a storm rolled in to block out the sun. Two doors at the rear of the temple were locked but the party wasn’t able to search the priest for keys before the storm rolled in and a shrieking howl was heard from outside.
Loose Ends:

• Who took the daughter and where did they take her?
  
• Who/what was in the rectory next to the temple.
  
• What was so important that the zombies both broke in, killed the priest -and- took his heart?
  
• What are the pages about and where did they come from?
  
• Did something send the storm or is it natural?
  
• And what is being done about the shipment of cabbages destined for the city?
  

Overview

The town of Eastbrook lies (wait for it…) east of the city of Alexandros and is considered somewhere in the fine line between large village and small town. The leader of the community, the House of Baelyn, fancies themselves as a grassroots force of the local gentry who plan on turning their small settlement into a thriving community.

The Town

There are seven roads that lead into and out of the town. Only the Oak Road (F and B) are considered main roads that lead to other settlements. The rest lead elsewhere within the immediate region - often used by farmers to transport their harvest to the town.

The Lord and Lady Baelyn live in a modest sized manor house around the town square (#1). Around the town square are two other buildings, the trading hall (2) where commerce is generally conducted, the record’s hall (4) and a tavern called the Manticore’s Tail (6).

The town’s temple (of Daeus) is located at #11 and the rectory (home of the priest) is next door at #9.
