Fool's Paradise

== Before 420: ==
Long ago, the Great Cathedral was built over a cavern with four pillars (with humanoid carvings on them) in it.
More closer to present time, King Chungus Maximus rules the Purple Kingdom. A certain knight is seemingly killed during a vampire crusade.
The young princess of the Purple Kingdom falls in love with a servant. They meet in secret.
The princess is pregnant; the old king dies of an incurable disease. She must decide between her lover and the throne. The servant is executed, and their child (born in secrecy; the midwives killed as well) is abandoned. And so begins the reign of the Queen.
A princess is adopted by the Purple Queen.
Somewhere, a kid is abandoned, and raised by lions.
On a farm near the dear little village of Applebury, a farmer finds a stone mask. His wife goes missing.
A year later, he sells his farm and moves into the house next door to the bailiff.
== Year 420: ==
The Purple Queen hosts a feast. She meets Jonathan, returning to his home kingdom after many years. 
A drunken farmer is killed on his farm near Applebury.
The feast draws to an end as the Queen falls into a narcoleptic episode (she takes a nap in her chair at the table). Some of the knights prepare to go search for adventure. A messenger brings them word of the recent massacres in the surrounding area of Applebury. Our cast of main characters heads out on a two day journey to the village. They rest for the night in some woods. A fight occurs during the night between some of them. Later, they meet a travelling showman.
They wake up the following morning, and continue on down the road. They race each other for a while, then end up in another darker forest. 
That night, the party set up camp; the old knight and the princess take turns on guard duty.
They continue on the last leg of the journey. As they come to the edge of the forest, the terrain progressively gets more rocky. Suddenly, a horde of zombies attacks. The party tries to escape; the old knight stays behind to fend them off. He is lost in the horde. The party manages to outrun the horde, and make it to the town of Applebury. The town is seemingly empty; its residents hiding away in fear of the vampire attacks. The party takes shelter in an inn.
The female innkeeper serves them booze, and is surprised by the extra tip from Xie. They get drunk. 
Elsewhere, Plain wakes up in a tree. He is pursued by a smaller horde of zombies. He stumbles through the fog. Nearby, the old knight and his horse, Crackerjack, plow through the zombies. Plain eventually reaches the inn (the old man, nowhere in sight). He is pulled inside, as the hordes catch up. The party fights back the zombies. The innkeeper is injured in the process.
After the zombies are killed off, they tend to the unconscious innkeeper's wounds. Otto falls asleep, and his friends carry him to one of the rooms in the inn. They start to tuck in for the night, still under the effects of the booze.
