Explore the deadly tomb of an undead warlock necromancer in this faction mission reimagined as a single-session adventure for 2nd-4th level characters in Waterdeep or any campaign setting!

The second Emerald Enclave mission in chapter 2 of Waterdeep: Dragon Heist has the adventurers spending a tenday’s nights in the City of the Dead waiting to run into a handful of skeletons. 

Grave Concerns expands the mission into a 4 hour adventure exploring a tomb teeming with undead and laced with magical obstacles. Adaptable to other factions, it also provides a tie-in to the Dungeon of the Mad Mage.

I like the premise of this adventure, but it has numerous flaws that makes it unplayable in my opinion.
The shaft is 15x15 ft wide and players are pulled downwards at 10ft per turn, and the ledges the players must reach are 2ft deep. What this effectively means is that any creature without a flying speed (or ability to glide through the air like the Hadozee) is doomed to fall all the way to the bottom of the shaft and end up in Undermountain, unless they use a grappling hook or the like to grab hold of a ledge. Furhtermore, the dimglobe only emits light in a 10ft radius, meaning it's very possible to not see the various ledges unless the character holding the globe is falling in the exact center of the 15ft wide shaft. As fascinating this dungeon is in a fantasy sense, it is impossible to solve for anyone but the most well-prepared adventurers.

Another issue is the 1st (intended) section of the dungeon. A riddle tells the party to light "up and down then again" (referring to areas...See more

I really think there's a missing connection between areas 1d and 1e, and that the whole of "level 1" is supposed to be joined as a single level with the exits vertically separated by 90' in an M.C. Escher style twisting of geometry. Otherwise what is even the point of the "spatial anomaly" which is described as "allowing 1a to be 90 feet above 1h"? No such "allowance" is necessary with the map as drawn.

...on top of that, the "boxed text" for area 1h is clearly written from the point of view of first encountering it from the inside as an exit back to the shaft, implying that there must be some way into the chambers behind it without entering that way.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
