Emerging as a result of Quest - Staff of Vediovis, if the party delivers the Staff to the cult, the cult will now have the ability to raise the dead for their own insidious purposes. The cult is recruiting poor and desperate peasants and turning them into undead soldiers.
Story Goal: The objective is to stop the necromancer from exploiting the peasants. Dealing with the undead rampage is secondary to saving the innocent people who are still alive.
Obstacles: Obstacles will focus on determining what the cult is really up to. The least difficult obstacle will be finding someone who has recently run off to join the cult, after which obstacles will escalate in difficulty to include battling increasingly larger and tougher legions of the undead. The final obstacle should be a confrontation with the necromancy leading the cult.
Antagonist: The goal of the antagonist is to create an army. Their motivation is to spread death throughout the land to increase their power and please their deity.
