the west of Deepdale. Four small islands are also in the lake. To the north of the
woods a large clearing is evident. Very sharp eyed heroes can make out some sort
of circular structure in the clearing (Notice check with 2 raises). The path down
toward the woods traverses a scree field.

Deepdale Day South West from Derwent Forest

Weather: Cloudy, chance of rain (d4), chance of fog (d6 (+2 if foggy in
Derwent Forest))
Deepdale is deserted. The only inhabitants are The Bear and his corrupted
followers. The Bear has taken up residence in the church. The church is a grizzly
scene.
As you enter the church rows of wooden pews flank the entry way. The pews
are littered with debris and garbage. The stench of decay is nearly
overwhelming. Beyond the pews lies a wooden altar, defiled by diabolic
symbols. The floor around the altar is covered in dry and fresh blood. Large
steel bowls near the altar look to contain chunks of flesh. Standing behind
the altar is a behemoth of a man, wearing tattered vestments. His skin is
covered by thick black hair except for his face, which is has a milky white
complexion.
Elizbeth has been shacked to the back side of the altar. Next to her is the
bloody remnant of the previous girl.
Note: The Bear has just finished his rite of offering and only needs to
consume one of the offered organs to cast Armor w/o casting modifier.
