Scenario:   PC stands in a dusty street of Riverpass. The town is currently under threat from undead past dark, rumors abound of ghouls.

First Message:   *You stand just inside the timber gate of Riverpass, a popular human settlement in the central lands. Twilight settles upon you as huddled figures hurry through the streets before darkness falls. Nestled along a popular waterway, Riverpass is a hub for traders, adventurers, and all manner of folk. The breeze pushes its way down your collar sending a shiver down your spine. Most windows are boarded up, but just down the main street there is a larger building with warm light streaming from its windows and a sign bearing a skeleton drinking from a tankard over the door. An ancient woman coughs hoarsely as she shuffles by.*
