Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dannyalcatraz" data-source="post: 3512028" data-attributes="member: 19675">(Inspired by the movies Monster House and The Bridge)The Hungry BridgeTwo thousand years ago, 2 warring kingdoms signed a peace treaty, and in honor of it, they built a bridge across the sound to link their nations in peace.  It was an architectural and engineering triumph.However, despite its beauty, it has been the scene of many a tragedy.  On average, 2 people a month die on it or fall from it to their deaths.  A scholar of some note who has been researching Peacearch Bridge, in honor of its latest anniversary is now the latest victim.And 2 days after his burial, a package arrives, addressed to __________ personally."Dear _______, my most beloved and talented student,I hardly know where to start, so I'll be brief- I believe the Peacearch Bridge is not just a site for tragedies, I believe it is haunted and is actually causing the deaths to occur!  Please, meet me at its Western base this weekend- we must do something!"The courier who delivered it said he was to deliver this letter after the old man's death.The party, intrigued by this mystery, goes to the Western shore of the bay, and at Midnight, they witness the scholoar's spectre!"Thank the Gods you're here!..."************Dead Hobbit StorageA so-called honest merchant with some allegedly shady ties has hired the PCs to hide his accountant from the Necromancer King's undead taxman for a while.The Halfling bookkeeper, one N'ron Hubbard, knows a lot, and if he were taken into custody the merchant's economic empire would crumble.  The Imperial Revenant Service specialize in making people talk- even the dead- as long as the corpse hasn't been dead for too long.So, the party and Hubbard are spirited away in the night in a pair of carriages...but are attacked by the merchant's rivals, hoping to kidnap the halfling and turn him into the IRS. Hubbard is caught in the crossfire and killed.They must find a place to store the dead hobbit long enough to save their boss, and the boss's estate is definitely not dead hobbit storage (as he tells you many times, pointing out the lack of signage to that effect).Where to go?(Subplot- the boss is so stunned by their initial incompetence, he has opted for a scortched earth backup plan, and has hired an Embermage Assassin to wipe out the entire party...)</blockquote>
