Pied a'Cochon

The Grail Chapel at Pied a'Cochon is considered by many to have been the last sacred place in Mousillon. A small, pretty, isolated Grail Chapel deep in the swamps of the eastern Grismerie valley, the chapel was carefully maintained by a small staff of Grail Damsels who sometimes did good works among the dirt-poor peasants of the swamps. It was said that the Fay Enchantress held the chapel at Pied a'Cochon very dear, for it provided hope to the very lowest of Bretonnia's poor.

All this ended in 1472 (2450) when the chapel was besieged and destroyed by a great horde of Undead. The Grail Damsels were either devoured or fled, and none have ever returned. The chapel now stands abandoned and ramshackle, shunned by the benighted peasants who toil in the surrounding swamps. All is deathly still... until some living person should be in the chapel at noon. When this is the case, the clouds darken above, and deep mists roll over the chapel. Then, from the mists comes lurching a moaning horde of Zombies. The Grail Damsels appear too, spirits enacting that dreadful day when the walking dead stormed their chapel--but while the Grail Damsels are Ghosts, the Zombies are very real, and whoever is inside the chapel will have to fight a desperate, grisly siege as the Zombies try to force their way in through the doors and windows.

No one knows why the Zombies attacked the chapel or who (if anyone) was controlling them. Perhaps the only way to find out these answers would be to survive the Zombie siege and speak with the spirits of the Grail Damsels afterwards. Was there some secret they knew that someone wanted to keep unspoken? Were they on some mission from the Fay that the Zombie master needed stopped? The truth will never be known unless some brave or very unfortunate adventurers walk the overgrown chapel at noon and face down the Undead horrors that follow.
