lol, well her is some more detail to it.
I didnt even see that one LOL.
The story is a lot more involved though and leads back to a demon leader (we call djinn) in our campaign world who was trapped in 2 books, one his physical form and the other his magical powers. These two books were seperated and kep safe and secret by sects of warrior monks and clerics. Over time their locations were lost and the story of the creature fell into myth and then into childrens stories.
During a war the monstary where one of these books are kept was destroyed and the clerics and monks killed. The book sat there unprotected for years until a witch covern discovered its location. Hungry for power and pure evil they attempt to get the book. In the ruins they are picked off one by one by strange hellish creatures, until only one is left . She locates it but a spell keeps her from opening it. The book however is pure evil so she contracted a disease from it, using her magic she barely stays alive.
So she hires a group of adventurers to secure the book for her they unknowing go to the island and are able to retrieve the book. They attempt to open it but are unable to, so they try to take it back with them. They are attacked, lose the book and barely make it off the island where the monastary ruins are.
They too contract the disease. They are found in the boats on the shore of the lake. The town residents take them in and care for them. They die however and then rise up and begin a infection. They become flesh eating zombies. In a matter of a day or so the residents all become one of the undead, flee or become barricaded.
The pcs come in in the next town about 20 miles south of this location where they will be approached by the witch in secret however disguised as a cleric who needs help with a cure for her disease. She will say that the old monastary has a book that contains the cure for the magical disease and will pay them a great amount of money to retrieve it.
Thats the storyline, any other suggestions????????????????
