 '''A Son Reborn'''
 The fate of Jon Walworth is an important link to the ongoing story.  If Jon is resurrected, then he becomes the immortal terror that will haunt Walworth Castle in the aftermath of the big battle.

+By this time, the party should have assumed the mantle of the Heroes.  And, thus they are now bound to the city and its people. This is also the adventure where (most likely) the resurrection of the Baron's son takes place, if Klagg gains the Staff of Immortality.  This is also where The Bishop can be summoned - who will come as a disembodied spirit to protect the city during the final battle.  They will, of course, need to have taken the staff from Klagg and stopped the resurrection of Jon Walworth. As a final twist, Dark Cloak may assume the body of James or Jon Walworth - thus becoming immortal and leading to the current storyline behind Walworth Castle.

 The storm overhead rages with howling winds and dark, ominous clouds.  The rains have not yet come, but the skies are filled with lightning.  As you approach the chapel, you sense that the storm is centered on the plain, stone building.  The air around the chapel glows with a faint eldritch light that seems to come down from the clouds above, bathing the area in an unnatural light.
