Cemetery

The Cemetery is a random encounter wilderness location in Stygian: Reign of the Old Ones, accessible from the world map.


 * If encountered, the player character has the option of avoiding this location

Description
A most inauspicious and restless feeling grows in you with each step taken towards this darksome stone vault, which is standing amidst the desolation like an antechamber to the netherworld.

On arriving to the cemetery, the character will find a barren field, sparse with life, and a towering mausoleum entrance descending into the bowels of the earth. It is less of a typical graveyard, with headstones and the like, and more of a oneway destination to the afterlife.

Mausoleum
On entering the mausoleum, the character will see three caskets toward the Eastern side of the crypt. If approached, the screen will go dark and a short cutscene will ensue:


 * A sudden blowing of a chilling gust shuts the door of the mausoleum behind you. No gas lantern can withstand this freezing draft. Your custody under the utter darkness becomes all the more insufferable when a sharp pain suddenly shoots up from your legs. The corpse of a man suddenly tumbles into view at your feet. He appears as if he’s writhing in pain and his feet have been severed from his ankles.

The corpse will have spewed out of the formerly closed centre casket, leaving behind it a trail of blood.
