Winds sweep down the cliffside, carrying the sounds of unrest to the village below. Once a prosperous area, the location is all but abandoned save for the few hardy souls willing to brave the undead curse lingering in the shadow of mountain crypts. Venture up the steep rock paths to the halls of the dead and discover what awaits within.
Rounding out this month we return to the Wailing Crypts and catch a glimpse of the main entrance. The cliff face is dotted with several smaller burial chambers/caves along the path upwards. Parties can investigate for minor loot, but may notice that these chambers have been well picked over already. They do however, make nice spots for a small ambush to begin whittling down those spell slots before they enter the main crypt area. Alternatively, you could use this as a staging area for a skill challenge to descend the mountain with speed after narrowly escaping whatever lies through the central entrance.
Not keen on some undead encounters and necromantic curses for a storyline? No problem. Variations in the pack will let you easily convert the area to a hidden temple entrance or gateway to the Underdark, for example.
As always a round of thanks for everyone and their support. I really enjoyed getting to revisit this area, and want to incorporate multi map zones in future released more often. I love thinking about the lore potentials in how the maps are used for side quests, and not just cool one off encounters.
