Old-School Essentials: Rites of Weeping 1/2

Along a cold and isolated riverside, deep in the primeval forest, a small team of adventurers makes an emergency landing at a rotting and waterlogged village to repair their leaking boat. Little do they know that, deep within a nearby temple-tomb, a wretched, forgotten god-thing from centuries long past seeks to make its return amidst rituals of plague and suffering. Will our trapped adventurers defeat the god-thing once and for all, or will they too be stolen away to perform the Rites of Weeping? Characters include Professor Oston Misthill, halfling academic; Lennart Turnip-Warden, cleric and protector of all things earthen and turnip; and Nixell Metgard, fearless dwarven leader.This is the first of two sessions of Old-School Essentials, using the folk horror adventure "Rites of Weeping" by Harry Menear.
