This months adventure from Alex is 'Borrowed Tomb'.

Adventure Synopsis

Borrowed Tomb is a Fifth Edition adventure for three to six characters of 2nd to 4th level, optimized for a party of four 3rd-level characters.

Strange disturbances have been emanating from the tomb of a monastic order—wailing voices and unnatural sounds that echo across the countryside at all hours. Local villagers fear the worst: awoken, vengeful spirits bent on retribution.

In reality, a family of brown bears has taken shelter in the tomb during harsh weather, and their presence has disturbed the rest of the entombed monks. Rather than face hostile undead, the adventurers will find themselves mediating between distressed spirits who simply want their sanctuary restored to peace. Can the party find a solution that respects both the needs of the living animals and the eternal rest of the dead?

This adventure takes place in Cartosia, but the names of people and places can be changed to place this adventure in any rural region across a variety of campaign settings.
