About the Map

Picture your players squeezing through tight spaces, brushing past cold stone slabs hiding secret rooms, creeping through shadowy tunnels and columns... all while breathing in the foul stench of undeath. Tempting, isn’t it?

The crypt can be accessed either from a northern trapdoor or through the southern hallway. Players arrive in a cramped main chamber with six stone tombs, separated by a statue and four columns. Near each tomb sits a metal brazier, and inscriptions can be seen at the base of the statue. This puzzle map is designed to make players think—but also give the GM room to have fun revealing the memories of the dead.

The pack includes handouts and a set of special item cards — these items can be found in the two small rooms to the south of the map (they are there for the players to see them!). However, they must be identified and matched to the correct tomb.

How it works:

• Each tomb has a bronze plaque — same metal as the braziers — with a short inscription.

• There are six different objects and six inscriptions.

• Players must match the right item to the right tomb by interpreting the clues.

• If the wrong item is placed... well, you can decide: a vengeful spirit rises, or a curse is triggered.

• If the offering is correct, the tomb responds with a flicker of memory — a glimpse into the life of the person buried there, and how the item came to matter to them.
  
  Here’s an example of a memory scene:
  A warmly lit room, seen from outside a small, quiet house.
  The sun sets. Cut to an old man inside, holding a candle. He places it gently on the table, then softly blows it out. Darkness.

  The scene repeats over several evenings — always the same quiet ritual:
  the room glowing from within, the man with his candle, a final breath, and night falling.

  Until one evening, we see the house again from outside. The sun has set…
  but this time, the room stays dark, because there’s no one left to light it.
