1 - ENTRANCE
The entrance area hosts two small carved marble wall
containers – with holy water within. This area has an
arched ceiling which continues further into the Nave.
There is a great view on the multiple statues in the
Aisles, the pews in the Nave, the Pulpits upstairs, and the
pompous looking Altar in the middle.
2 – WEST AISLE
The aisle is adorned with multiple statues of religious
significance each statue has a plaque and saying a prayer
in front of them will provide either a benefit or a
hindrance, corresponding to the description. Effects do
not stack, and only one effect can be claimed within the
course of a day.
The west wall hosts a window – it can be broken, but it
magically re-forms, not allowing players to escape
through it.
From north to south the Statue plaques are the
following:
3 – NAVE
The nave hosts a set of pews and is lit by a stained-
glass dome above. The side walls host two statues with
no plaques, resembling holy figures.
The pews are made from polished smooth red wood
and in them there are some books with religious songs,
long untouched, and one silver locket with a depiction of
gods inside.
The whole area is covered in dust, but no footprints
are visible anywhere, aside of the footprints of the party.
The light to the nave comes through a colored glass
dome, which starts 40 feet above the floor.
4
4 – EAST AISLE
The aisle is adorned with multiple statues of religious
significance each statue has a plaque and saying a prayer
in front of them will provide either a benefit or a
hindrance, corresponding to the description. Effects do
not stack, and only one effect can be claimed within the
course of a day.
The Wall hosts a window – it can be broken, but it
magically re-forms, not allowing players to escape
through it.
From north to south the Statue plaques are the
following:
5 – ALTAR AND APSE
The altar is made from white marble. The back walls are
adorned with golden plated statues – without
descriptions. They depict good gods of the realm.
The back wall hosts a small arched doorway, next to it
two containers with holy water inside.
On the altar candles and a large open tome are laid out.
The tome is open at a page which details a prayer, used
during burials. Other than this, other religious songs and
scriptures are written inside it.
Taking the book triggers the Consequence of
Desecration or Disrespect.
6 – WEST STAIRS
A small chamber with a spiraling staircase. It is
unprotected on the sides, without a railing, and leads up
to the Pulpit – the entrance of which lets through some
light – the only source of light in this chamber.
There are 2 statues – a golden one, representing a god
of good alignment in your (the DM’s) setting, and a
statue representing a god of bad alignment.
In case players touch the statue representing bad
alignment, they will be haunted by Shadows for the rest
of the adventure. They will regularly see shady figures
from the corner of their eyes – but when turning to face
them, they disappear.
The shadows are not hostile unless the player can lay
eyes on them. To do so, the affected player needs to pass
a DC18 Perception check. Upon success 1d6 shadows will
attack – them being defeated; the curse of the statue
ends.
A player can also end this effect with the help of a
Greater Restoration or Remove Curse spell, or by
resolving the chapel’s mystery.
7 – CLERIC’S CORRIDOR
The small door leads to a dimly lit chamber, with storage
arrangements and corridors leading to the west and east.
The ceiling here is flat, and only 20 feet high. The place
still has a clean, sacred feeling but the cupboards located
here are more homy, almost seem out of place in a
chapel.
Light comes through from small holes near the
ceiling, that open to the outside. There are no torches or
any other artificial light sources visible.
The walls are flat, smooth, marbled – and any
doorways are arched -without an actual closable door
inside.
The cupboards contain the following items:
• 3 Small barrels of Holy Water
• 20 Candles
• 1 Ceremonial Robe
• 200GP worth of Incense
• Various tomes of religious significance
8 – EAST STAIRS
A small chamber with a spiraling staircase. It is
unprotected on the sides, without a railing, and leads up
to the Pulpit – the entrance of which lets through some
light – the only source of light in this chamber.
There are 2 statues – a golden statue, representing a
god of good alignment in your setting, and a statue
representing a god of bad alignment.
In case players touch the statue representing bad
alignment, they will be haunted by Will-O-Wisps for the
rest of the adventure. They will regularly see specks of
light from the corner of their eyes – but when turning to
face them, they disappear.
The Wisps are not hostile unless the player can lay
eyes on them. To do so, the affected player needs to pass
a DC18 Perception check. Upon success 1d6 Will-O-
Wisps will attack – them being defeated; the curse of the
statue ends.
A player can end this effect with the help of a Greater
Restoration or Remove Curse spell, or by resolving the
chapel’s mystery.
9 – CLERIC’S QUARTERS
Through a small, 7 feet high archway, an even dimmer
chamber awaits the adventurers. This chamber is like the
corridor – in that it does not have any adornments aside
of 4 chests and a statue of Tatiana Filmura. The statue
has a plaque on its base saying “In memory of the
greatest magic wielder the realms have ever seen.
Tatiana Filmura”
All the chests are locked, opening them is possible
with a DC12 Thieves’ Tools check or a DC12 Strength
check. Being opened with strength, triggers the effect of
Chapter “Consequence of Desecration or Disrespect”.
5
The Chests each contain a “Stone of Power” –
identical to those held by the Statues of Power
downstairs.
This area hosts a spiral staircase leading downwards.
From the crypt, cold stale air can be felt, and with a DC16
Perception check, players can hear shuffling noises
downstairs.
10 – BED CHAMBER
A small side chamber, with low, rounded ceiling. It hosts
a small bed and a bedside table, both unkept, dirty and
dusted. The bedside table contains notes repeatedly
mentioning the same words in the same handwriting
“Why are we forsaken?”. The bed is covered with white
linen cloth and is unmade. Under the pillow a Dagger +1
is located – ornate, seemingly of ceremonial use.
11 - DINING ROOM
The room in arrangement is identical to the bedroom –
but it hosts a small table with 2 plates on it, both
containing half eaten – rotten food and rusting cutlery.
12 – WEST PULPIT
Above the flight of stairs, a wooden floor and a church
organ greets adventurers. The keys of the organ are
closed with a lid, but not locked. Above them on a stand a
song’s scripture is placed – with the title “For Those
who pass”.
The pulpit overlooks the ground floor and is separated
only with a 3 feet high wooden railing from it.
13 – EAST PULPIT
Above the flight of stairs, a wooden floor and a church
organ greets adventurers. The lid to the keys of the are
open, characters trying to play on the instrument will
realize that it does not work.
The pulpit overlooks the ground floor and is separated
only with a 3 feet high wooden railing from it.
Passing a DC15 Perception check, players can identify
that there is a hidden compartment behind the organ,
with a chest inside. They can access it by moving the
instrument, which is possible with a Successful DC18
Strength check.
The chest is unlocked and contains a Wand of Daylight.
It can cast the spell 3 times a day. Next to it there is a
note – “Beware the darkness for it is home to many of
evil.”
14 – WEST PREPARATION CHAMBER
The west side square chamber has its marble floor
broken and in pieces. Multiple wooden caskets and a
stone crypt lie here in disarray, and equipment to
prepare for a burial. White tattered cloth, jugs, with
traces of holy water, wooden supports to raise coffins,
hammers, and nails are spread all around the room.
If players investigate the caskets or the stone tomb,
they will hear a sigh. If they do not leave within 10
seconds afterwards, 2 Wights will raise from inside the
stone tomb, through its lid. The same happens if players
try to open the tomb. The Wights can be killed or
dispatched by destroying their remains in the tomb -
which can be opened with a DC15 Strength check, and the
remains inside can be destroyed by using 2 Actions.
In the tomb players can find a Ring of Resistance
(Necrotic).
None of the coffins are named, there are plaques, but
they haven’t been inscribed yet.
15 – RUINED CEREMONIAL CHAMBER
This chamber was ruined by Tania, in rage for not having
a complete funeral. Going inside players can find broken
marble, the walls and floors ruined and in pieces. Players
can find an empty husk here – with a DC14 Insight check
they can identify that the soul has been turned to a
Specter and serves a greater undead.
16 - EAST PREPARATION CHAMBER
This chamber hosts coffins that have ceremonial
weapons in them. Opening the coffins and the tomb
players can find 1d4-2 “+1 Weapons”.
The chamber is riddled with small spiders, harmless –
running away to small cracks in the wall when subjected
to light.
20 – PRIEST’S RESPITE
The humble makeshift home of the Chapel’s priest,
Sansum D’Laaren (Human male Acolyte). It contains
nothing of significance, other than a chair and a table.
Sansum is an emotionless, burnt out male priest,
wearing a white robe, and having long white hair – all
dirty and unkept. He will share the following
information with players as part of a discussion, in some
cases requiring a successful check from the players to
access his knowledge.
• He thinks the chapel is cursed.
• He hasn’t left the crypts for years now – out of shame
for failing to keep the peace of the dead.

18 – STAIR HALL
The flight of stairs from the Cleric’s quarters ends at this
dimly lit chamber. The only source of light is a glowing
torch in the side chapel, other than that the wall scones
are empty.
The walls are smooth, in some places molded or
moist, but seem to be made from the same marble as the
upstairs chapel area.
A thin fog covers the ground, about 3 feet high, and
not obscuring any vision. The hall has multiple exits, all
open, 6 feet high arched doorways.

19 – SIDE CHAPEL
The side chapel hosts two rows of columns, and a single
torch, which lights up the chamber. There are multiple
piles of dirt – investigating them players can identify
that these are mashed remains of human bodies rotten
and left behind.
In one of the piles players with a DC18 Investigation
check can find a Ring of Evasion.
The west wall contains a storage compartment (19A)
with dusted chests – locked and trapped with arcane
runes emanating necrotic energy.
Unlocking the chests is possible with a DC12 Thieves’
tools check. Detecting the traps is possible with a DC14
Investigation check, disarming them is possible with a
DC12 Arcana check, or a Dispel Magic spell.
If a trap goes off, a hostile Banshee appears from
within the chest, and all players who fail a DC15
Dexterity saving throw in the side chamber take 2d6
necrotic damage from the rune’s power surge.

6
21 – SANCTUARY
A spacious chamber with 2 metal statues (Animated
Armors) inside.
If the party did not touch holy water, the statues will not
let them through the north door without a fight.
If they did touch holy water or are under the impact of
the Protection from Evil and Good Spell – they can
proceed without being impacted.
22 - STORAGE
A dusted storage chamber with closed, unlocked chests.
They seem to be untouched for a long while – and
contain 3 Potions of Greater Healing and 1 Ioun Stone of
Protection.
23, 24,25,27 – STATUES OF POWER AND
“STONES OF POWER”
There are four 15 feet high statues in small side
chambers each depicting a god of the good alignment,
holding either on their staff or in their hands blue,
faintly glowing stones – “Stones of Power”.
The stones can be removed from the hands of the
statues with a DC13 Strength check. They each contain 1
charge of radiant energy. They can be used as an action,
to release the power within – impacting all creatures of
the evil alignment within a 15-foot radius. Impacted
creatures need to make a DC 15 Constitution saving
throw. On a failed save they take 3d6+4 radiant damage,
on a success, they take half.
26 – TANIA’S HALL
The center hall of the crypt, with ornate stone floor and
smooth, carved walls. At the entrance, a 15-foot-high
statue of Tania sits with her back to the door.
The long chamber has an arched ceiling, 25 feet high
at its center. The place is lit with torches, and has
multiple small side chambers, either empty or hosting a
Statue of Power. Starting at the center of the hall
bloodstains can be found (the blood originating from
Tania’s ripped heart) and the sarcophagus of Tania is
becoming visible, well lit by two torches, on a small
pedestal.
The east-west corridor contains 3 traps, spikes on the
ground. Noticing them is possible with a DC13 Perception
check, avoiding them is possible with a DC13 Dexterity
check.
Upon failing to dodge, players take 1d6 piercing
damage and lose their remaining movement for the
round.
30 – TANIA’S HEART
In the final corner, in a pool of liquid blood a glowing red
heart can be found that is warm to the touch. It has an AC
of 10 and 1 HP and can be destroyed with any magical
weapon. If the party did not wake Tania, this action
helps them avoid the whole confrontation – killing the
Wraith and all the other minions she has simply by
destroying this artifact.
RESOLVING THE ADVENTURE
With Tania put to rest by her being killed or her heart
being destroyed, the atmosphere of the chapel changes.
Sansum will pay a visit to the chamber and will have a
look of realization on his face – remembering that the
ritual he concluded was incomplete and with this
realizing that he was the cause of Tania turning undead.
He will blame himself for the happenings and all the
souls lost.
Ascending to the chapel floor the party can see that
the dust that covered everything – disappeared. Sansum
will come with the party as well, reintroducing himself
to the life of devotion – and trying to reestablish a
respectful church.
Most importantly through the hall – the party can see
that the main door reappeared – open and inviting –
letting them leave the chapel and ending the adventure.

28 – TANIA’S SARCOPHAGUS
The Sarcophagus has a large (15 foot high) skeleton on it
– unmoving. (Stats of a Minotaur Skeleton – Tania’s
skeleton under the constant effect of an Enlarge Spell)
Upon the party interacting with the sarcophagus, a
Wraith (Tania) and 2 Specters (the souls of the 2 husks
from the Ruined Ceremonial Chamber) raise, hostile to
the players. Along with this, Tania caresses the skeleton
which comes alive and joins the fight prompting
initiative.
The fight can be challenging, but using holy water, the
“Stones of Power”, and the +1 Weapons, or finding
Tania’s heart and destroying it – can make it easier.
The sarcophagus can be opened with a successful DC15
Strength check as an action, and as a free action, players
can see that the heart of the otherwise well-preserved
body of Tania is missing.
Blood trails lead from the sarcophagus towards the
east through the makeshift traps to the place where the
heart is dropped to the ground.

29 – MAKESHIFT TRAPS
If players follow the blood trails, and the battle with
Tania has already started, she and her minions will try
everything to stop the party.
