Stop the Bandits Before They Steal the Founder’s Ring
Read Aloud
The crypt door hangs open, and four strangers drag a coffin into the rain. One bandit raises a shovel like a club while another shouts, “Take the ring and run!” From the chapel roof, a lookout levels a crossbow at the nearest hero.

Battlefield Zones
1
The Fresh Graves
Open ground between fresh graves; loose dirt counts as difficult terrain.
2
The Crypt Steps
Broken stone steps descend into the family crypt; creatures near the edge risk a 10-foot fall.
3
The Burial Chamber
A narrow burial chamber with a cracked sarcophagus and scattered tools.
Terrain Levers
- Kick loose grave dirt into a creature’s eyes: DC 10 Dexterity save or blinded until the start of its next turn.
- Cut the rope holding the chapel bell: it crashes into the crypt entrance, blocking the passage.
- Tip over a stone grave marker to create half cover.
