Grave Robbers, help needed
On the 14th of Feranaar Hojo, a priest of The Raven Queen, and caretaker of Wysepka Graveyard, found one of his most recent graves opened and emptied. For every seven days that since that day another grave will be emptied. Hojo tries to stop this, but is unable to. Simply put, he is unable, and unwilling to guard all the graves each night. He fears that the bodies are being reawakned, and does not wish to agravate them, thinking they may become violent towards the locals.
As such, he put up a poster, hoping that someone would come to his aid, either the Soldiers or helpful and capable locals. However, nobody will come, unless the players choose to. And after five bodies have been taken, the grave robbing will stop.
The truth of the matter is that one of Malakesh's apprentices has escaped, and lost his mind, or at least he thinks so. In truth, Malakesh let him escape and poisioned his mind. The Sorcerer did this to see what would become of this failed apprentice. Now this apprentice, who has lost his own name lives in a small cave a few miles straight north of the graveyard, and Wysepka. He brings these bodies, and tries to eat them, however he is unable to fully make himself eat. As such he is dying.
Though this mad and nameless apprentice does not know it, Malakesh wants him to consume these corpses. For once he does, he shall fulfill a part of Malakesh's ritual and become a horrible monster, one which Malakesh will have full control over. If stopped and slain however, this apprentice will transform into a lesser version of that, and though still powerful and dangerous, it will be nowhere neer its full potential. Statistically this will be a flesh golem if interuppted.
To find this apprentice, the heroes can either wait and try to ambush the apprentice when he tries to aquire a body, or they can try and track him down. If they attack him when he is in the village, this will most likely be noticed, and as such the Sorcerer will be aware that they were the ones who put a stop to part of his plan, something which will not help them in befriending him. On the other hand, if they deal with the threat, then the priest of The Raven Queen will thank them, and treat them as friends.
