Night of the Walking Dead

For 4 to 6 players, levels 1st-3rd. In a rain-soaked graveyard, a small group of men stands round a coffin bound with heavy chains. "We are here to mourn the passing of Jean de Cardeau," intones the village priest. " Let us pray that his rest is eternal, and that he never returns." As the pallbearers lift the coffin, something scrapes on the wood from inside. Quickly and without emotion, the attendants slide the casket into a crypt. Then they seal the door and flee. Behind them, unheard, a dull thudding begins, growing louder with the onset of twilight. There can be no peace for those who linger in the earthly realm after death. And there can be no sanctuary on the Night of the Walking Dead! Set in a zombie-infested swampland, "Night of the Walking Dead" is an ideal first-time Ravenloft adventure. Players must unravel the mystery behind a string of murders and disappearances in a village plagued by ambulant undead — and all is not as simple as it seems! The hour of fear is upon us. Are you ready to face the Demi-plane of Dread? This is the 1st module in the Grand Conjuction Series. Here are the other modules in the Grand Conjuction Series, listed in the order of play: Night of the Walking Dead - Levels 1-3 Touch of Death - Levels 3-5 Feast of Goblyns - Levels 4-7 Ship of Horror - Levels 8-10 From the Shadows - Levels 9-12 Roots of Evil - Levels 9-12 It should be noted, that many Dungeon Masters have noticed that if they run the adventures in the order written, they end up needing PCs of level 8-10 for the second sign of the Hexad, yet PCs of level 3-5 for the third sign of the Hexad (etc.). The solution to this continuity problem is to simply change the order of the hexad to suit the levels. Just change the order of the Hexad Verses to match this, (in the order the game modules are listed above), and you will be able to run a Grand Conjunction Campaign without this problem. It should be noted that the Hexad and notion of the Grand Conjunction was started after the first few modules had already been published and the prophecy was retroactively applied to those.
