This old, broken-down chapel has been abandoned for several decades now. Perhaps once it was a place of sanctity. These days it is only a source of sober melancholy.

In Pursuit of the Dead
Type: Act
Encounter Set: The Wages of Sin
Clue Threshold: 3
Locations cannot be flipped over.
Soft chanting guides you to a gloomy clearing near the abandoned chapel. A circle of witchweed surrounds the clearing, swaying gently in the breeze. At the center of the clearing, a cloaked woman kneels in front of an unmarked grave, far from the remainder of the graveyard. You watch in quiet for a few minutes while the woman sings an old, somber melody. It reminds you somewhat of a child’s lullaby – soothing, but with a dark gravity that betrays its purpose. As soon as the song ends, the woman’s cloak dissolves into mist, and she vanishes in a swirl of shadows.
Spawn 1 set-aside Heretic enemy at each of the following locations: The Gallows, Heretics’ Graves, Chapel Attic, and Chapel Crypt.
Add 1[per investigator] clues to each location in play.
Check Campaign Log. If you have 3 or more Mementos under “Mementos Discovered:” You understand the tragic lyrics behind the witch’s song. Each investigator puts into play 1 set-aside Spectral Web asset, under his or her control.

When the last of the ghosts vanishes, she leaves behind a remembrance: something which does not fade along with the rest of her ephemeral form. Curious, you step forward and examine the object. It is a corn husk doll wearing a black cloak, with locks of hair made of red‑dyed yarn. You’re not sure what significance the doll holds, if any...but nonetheless, a pyrrhic truth speaks to you from its expressionless face.
“Was it worth it?” The doll seems to say.
In your Campaign Log, under “Mementos Discovered,” record Corn Husk Doll.

With the mist comes the revenants of the past: witches who were executed hundreds of years ago, and whose hateful spirits have returned to wreak vengeance upon the living. If you can banish them, you might learn more of the coven’s secrets.
