The Spear
The party get to hear about the discovery of an old ruined chapel deep in the Alps. They are asked to investigate as to what is going on after different ragtag groups are sniffing round the region.
Plot points/Scenes
The party meets up with the council to see about jobs. There they are informed that a small valley in the Alps to the south. There a number of small bands of ragtag groups consisting of thieves, soldiers & mercenaries, and undead sniffing around the same valley. They are looking for an old ruined Roman Catholic chapel.
The council want the place investigated to see why there is such a rush to get to the old ruined chapel. If there is anything worth lifting they are to bring it back to town.
On the way there they may pick up a couple of hangers on including a few Goblins from Gitzburg, and a few pilgrims.
They will hear stories of a priceless relic of Christianity lying somewhere in the chapel and the other parties want it.
When the party arrives in the valley it doesn't take long to realise they can find the trail to the old chapel and others follow. They may get jumped and stuck in an ambush.
Also, when found, the chapel is ruined and nothing appears above aground. Looking around a DC 17 on Religion or Perception may point to the entrance to a vault behind the altar.
If they get down they may find a few skeletons dressed in rotting Roman army gear. Fighting their way through, they find their on a chamber with another altar down at the end of the chamber. Lying on it is an ancient Roman spear and upon examination they may work out that the spear is the Spear of Longinus.
After being picked up the chapel starts to fall apart onto them and the floor gives way. They have to dodge or use Athletics or equivalent to get out. The DC is 15.
After returning, they are paid by the church with 1000 gold each. Though Timble may want to keep the Spear.
