The village of Penkurth relies on pilgrims to the Shrine of Our Lady of Stone. The shrine is reputed to heal many lingering ailments and the steady stream of travelers is enough to make the village prosperous. The denizens of the forest have stirred and threaten to cut off the village from civilization. Three travelers must try to bring peace to the region or the village of Penkurth may face utter destruction.

A group of weary travelers are caught out in the rain. Stumbling through the darkness, they head to a nearby inn to wait out the storm. However, there they find corpses, strange things in the dark, and the oddest innkeeper they’ve ever met. Will they survive the Night of Blood?

It’s been a long day’s travel, and the sun is just beginning to go down as you see an inn in the distance. As you draw closer, you see the sign of three feathers hanging outside, and notice that the place is unusually busy.

Inside, the inn is bustling. servants are hurrying to and fro, and the innkeeper is engrossed in conversation with a scribe who carries a visibly bulging purse. “Welcome,” he says at last, “I’m sorry to have kept you waiting for so long, but as you can see, we have a distinguished guest tonight—the Gravin Maria-Ulrike von Liebewitz of Ambosstein, no less…I hardly know whether I’m coming or going with it all. Now, then—you want a room? What am I saying, of course you do. Ah, excuse me again, I’ll only be a moment.” You wait for another few minutes as he directs a train of servants to the Gravin’s rooms. “So sorry,” he says as he returns to you, “It really is mad this evening.”
