Brief: Locked away in a stone crypt, a layer of red vines wrapping across the door, sleeps a family crypt of restless angry spirits who are bound here and seek release but have been driven mad by the visions they have seen for 20 years. Their physical bodies are perfectly preserved in their sarcophagus but their faces are frozen with anguish and horror. From their bodies rise Wraiths of pure Madness, these spirits want others to be driven to Oblivion aswell and will not rest until slaughtered. These are mercy killings, once the Wraith is defeated from each body, they will return the essence to the corpse and the decay will instantly appear, the soul will pass on freely now to the other side and a reward of treasure will be where the final Wraith was slain.

Running Notes: This module is a mercy killing of anguished souls that were unable to cross over till now. The Red Vines on the door are some form of Curse of Anguish given their attempting of 20 years has manifested pure hate. Now that there is a chance to be fixed given the ley lines are in balance now, the Souls can Passover now if defeated. The PCs will enter and investigate the 6 bodies are perfectly preserved and not a sign of decay. After a moment for investigation, the Madness Wraiths spawn in corners of the room and attack relentlessly.
