Graveyards are pretty typical stomping grounds for ghouls. Lots of dead bodies to feed on and not a whole lot of eyes to catch you digging them up, especially at night. This graveyard is a little different though. A switch hidden in a sarcophagus within one of the mausoleums opens the floor, leading to an area that has been a local hero’s secret for years.

Years ago, Moira DeGaus was a tomb raider with her husband, Martin. Seeking fortune, they would break into old tombs, bypass any traps and monsters there, and steal any valuables they could find. On a raid into an elven tomb, Martin triggered a curse that would eventually turn him into a ghast. Moira did not want to lose her husband and he still had his mind, despite the undead curse that drove him to feed on human flesh. So, like any mildly crazy person in love, she built a secret prison for him under the local graveyard.

Behind a few locked doors and a trapped room that would incinerate anything that passes through it, she left her husband chained. Over time, she would chain up others who caused her problems with him. However, guilt over the whole affair tore her apart. The guiltier she felt, the less she visited and the more charity work she would do for the local town. Now she has grown quite old, and it has been years since she last visited her husband. However, she is not able to kill her husband, nor the other ghouls he has created from the people she put down there. If they were to escape, they would threaten the entire town. Luckily, they can’t get out and no one could possibly find them, right?
