Meet the French Resistance The players have parachuted into an abandoned overgrown farmstead on the west side of the small village you saw below you from a few thousand feet before your plane was shot out from under you by the “Ghostly” Me110.
As the players meet up in grassy field full of rotting cabbages, they realize they are from many different Allied units. As the team introduce themselves, someone calls out to them from an abandoned barn. A young French woman carrying a MP40 SMG introduces herself as Ariane Dubois. She is aware of the “D-Day” invasion starting, but needs the players help her rescue a British M-6 agent from the nearby chateau as soon as possible or the Allied invasion in this area may be in jeopardy.

Scene Two the Village The Team using stealth and wit succeed in Blowing up the Train.... BUT In doing so unleash 30,000 burning ZOMBIES onto the village...... The missing British Flield agent “Daphne” is a young English woman in her mid-20s. She was sent here a few months ago to help prepare for the Allied Invasion, or so the French Resistance thought. Along with other duties she spent a great deal of time observing what was going on with the SS troops in the Chateau. At first Ariane thought she was just keeping tabs on their SS garrison there but began to think there was more to it herself. The SS unit was more interest in protecting the Castle then terrorizing the village and the countryside like most other SS units in France. The Villagers were still terrified of them none the less because since the SS unit moved into the Chateau in 1940, nearly a third of the village has simply disappeared during the night. Then yesterday “Daphne” who has been masquerading as young pious nun sent here to study the old religious tomes at the village church was taken away by the SS troops wearing gas masks to the chateau.
ACT THREE Druid Temple in the Chateau Dungeon The players exit the caverns into the Chateau’s Sub-Basement / Dungeon. The center of this large cavern is an underground version of stone henge, a quick history DC10 will tell the player this temple is at least 5,000 years old and possibly older. To the east side of the cavern is a “Newer platform” (Newer as in only 1000 years old) complete with stairs leading up the Chateau above. To the north is a small tunnel entrance. Set up on the platform is bookcases, some tables, and a podium. On an Altar in the center is a chained unconscious young woman. Behind the podium is 3 masked men and something else behind them. Boss battle ensues
The train is destroyed (Along with the village), the British agent is saved (Although she now has a tattoo, and keeps claiming her name is now Nyarla ????) the players can link up with Allied forces at Deauville on June 8th…. A successful mission???????

Saint Sulac is a village of just less than 1000 people 20 miles west of Rouen and about 15 miles East of the OVERLORD SWORD Landing beaches. 28,000 British, Canadian, Free French and Norwegian Troops will be on the two “Queens Beaches” by 8pm.
Besides the Chateau, the only other characteristic of this unremarkable village is a small railhead yard on the North end of the town, it’s really nothing more than a box car holding area. The rail depot is currently full, with 50 box cars, an armored train engine, an oil tanker car plus three armored passenger car. The train is guarded by a company of SS troops wearing gas masks, they appear to be waiting for something…
ACT TWO Into The WOODS The woods surrounding Saint Sulac are swampy and thick, and according to the Free French resistance members you have meet, supposedly haunted… The French resistance leader agrees that a Frontal Assault on the castle is Suicide, but she knows of another way in… While the 30,000 burning ZOMBIES cause a distraction by burning/eating the village, the team heads off into the woods... Just a couple of miles into the woods is an abandoned manor house dating from the 1700s. Supposedly there is a cave system that reaches all the way to the dungeons of the castle. This is only secondhand information because the professor from Rouen who told her about these tunnels was captured months ago, taken to the Castle itself never to return. The walk through the woods will only take about 30 minutes leaving from the abandoned farm where the players parachuted into. Encounter: about 03:50 and almost to the abandoned Manor house in the woods, the players realize they are being stalked by 11 SS BlutBaden (Wolf-Men)
The team manges to escape after killing to the WehrewolfenTroopen, and barly escape with their lives into a hiden trapdoor in the ruined manor house. once down the tunnel to teh Chateau the Team has Private Brooks collapse the tunnel behind them with a satchel charge.
