Our heroes, now newly leveled up to 4th level, are heading off to an abandoned estate to retrieve a mysterious and long forgotten item.  The item in question, according to Ohr of the Diamond Ravens... could give the cultists an upper hand if they were to acquire it.  But with ghostly eyes peering through the windows, looming shadows about and evidence of foul play found on the property... our adventurers might be in for another Spooktacular encounter.

After the purification of the graveyard at the Blue Chapel, our heroes must report back to Ohr, Keeper of the Diamond Ravens, over at the Nest.  But it's not before they see what fun new items they can gather from their time at the church... and from the bodies of the cultists.  Though Ohr does let them know that their services are needed elsewhere, to retrieve a rather important item.
