It has been almost 3 months since this has started. Before, our land was peaceful. Our town, Rouen, was a trade town at the foot of the mountain. The castle Einnashe is built into the side of the mountain, and housed the 8 lords of the Council ruling this land. But when darkness fell upon the castle and our town, everything has been lost for us. Nobody came out of the castle the next day. If you could even call it day – the sky was covered in dark clouds, you could not even see the sun.
People have gone missing. Some say that monsters have taken them during the night. We fear for ourselves and our families. Nobody goes out at night, and even during the day few venture out of their homes for any longer than they have to. The Church of Elysia and the town guard have been doing everything they can to keep the town safe, but they can only do so much. Adventurers have been flocking to the town like flies. Few return from the castle. Those who do are gravely injured and likely insane now. Some have tried to leave, but something is keeping them from passing through the forest.
I've heard a few people say it's a vampire up in the castle now. That all of this is to entertain this monster. If that is the case, I fear that the lords are dead or worse. Every day, I pray, hoping that some one will come and slay that monster that did all of this. I pray that we will be saved. It's all the hope we have left.

You have all been hired by the Church of Elysia to deal with this problem. You all know each other, if not before you do now. You have at least heard of the others and may have adventured or met before this job. The Church was kind enough to provide some funding up front (part of your starting gold), and promises to give you more gold for your efforts against the threat that Castle Einnashe poses.
Things I NEED to Know: Your Spot, Listen check modifiers, your AC, and all vision types and special senses. This is so I can keep the game moving without asking for you guys to roll for that stuff.
Notable Factions Church of Elysia (LG) A church that worships the goddess of protection and healing, Elysia. This is the most widely worshiped religion in this end of the world. Most of the clergy focus on healing people, however there is a militant branch of the church, known as the Champions of Elysia. There is also a very small subsect of that branch, known as the Executioners, who number just over a dozen and are known to only a handful of the clergy of the main church. The Church has sent in a number of paladins with little success, so now they've resorted to hiring adventurers... Domains: Good, Law, Protection, Healing (For Champions, this changes to Good, Law, War and Protection)
Fighters' Guild (LN) If there are monsters to be slain, the Fighters' guild makes a profit of it. They set up guild members with jobs that usually deals with the monsters and beasts in the area. And of course, they have sent in a good number of members to deal with Castle Einnahe. Most are no longer alive...
Special notes about the game: 1)Monsters will respawn in the castle. This may take hours to days depending on the monsters and the area. Bosses will not respawn at all. 2)I intend to use the standard XP rules (although I may increase the rate of which you gain XP to speed things up a little). I will keep track of that for you, since I have the wonders of excel here to help me. If you intend to spend any of your XP for spells or item creation or the like, lemme know. 3)I will give you guys portions of the map from time to time (assuming I even have it finished lol). 4)There are a few merchants within the castle. Some wander, others stay within one location. These merchants usually have better things for sale and may buy things from you for better prices. However, I will warn you that they don't bargain well.
