The Tomb of the Forgotten is a 4–6 hour one-shot for 1st–3rd level adventurers. Deep in a forest graveyard, players uncover a mausoleum that hides an undead-infested crypt, deadly ambushes, and a puzzle bound to an ancient noble bloodline. Designed for GMs with ready encounters, puzzles, and treasure, this one-shot blends classic dungeon crawl action with eerie atmosphere and roleplay opportunities.

Multiple hooks make it easy to drop into any game, while the streamlined GM guide highlights atmosphere, tactical options, and flexible puzzle solutions. Classic foes and new twists keep players engaged, with meaningful rewards that include unique magic items like the Wand of the Tombkeeper.

Designed to reduce prep and maximize impact, this adventure offers:

  • Three combat encounters (ghoul ambush, spider den & ghast guardians, and a final Riddle of the Tomb).
  • A puzzle climax with multiple solutions and roleplay potential.
  • Player handouts and loot tied to noble history and ancient lore.
  • Simple guidance for mood, tactics, and skill checks so you can focus on storytelling.

Bring your party face-to-face with the forgotten dead — and the choices that decide whether their legacy is honored or cursed.
