Traveler! The people of Harrinton need help fast.The ghost of Gordy Pheldan came back from the dead. Filled with anger and grudges, he found a way to animate other members of his dead family and form a small army. He forced the town to pay him tribute and bring gold and precious stones to his tomb or else he would let loose the zombies and ghouls that follow him.

The heroes of this adventure must travel fast and meet Gordy Pheldan's ghost. If they allow the greedy spirit to talk, a possible negotiation may be reached. None of the Pheldan live today.
