The Crypt of the Urn Lord

>>> WEBSITE VERSION <<<

=== === ===

A strange vagrant, who calls himself the Hurdy-Gurdy Man, has broken into the crypt of the Castle in the Wilderlands, looking for an artefact contained within. In doing so, he has aggravated the Urn Lord, undead owner of this artefact, an ancient nobleman who lives through the six animated canopic jars which contain his putrefied remains.

The Hurdy-Gurdy Man's music is a nuisance for the castle's inhabitants, but the Urn Lord is without a doubt the bigger threat.

The Castle in the Wilderlands was originally the hub of a campaign I ran centered around a mega-dungeon. The Crypt of the Urn Lord was first written as a side quest the PCs could undertake away from the main attraction; they had a personal interest in ridding the crypt of its dangers, as it was just below the place where they rested and levelled up. It can easily be repurposed to fit any castle, though.
