In this chapter, the heroes travel out to the far off lair of The Ghostlord, lich ally to the Red Hand horde, in an attempt to break that alliance. This chapter runs very much like a standard dungeon crawl. The PCs should be about 6th level somewhere early on in the chapter. I haven’t run this chapter yet, but I can’t wait to see the cool stuff my group of PCs does when they gain a few zombie minions .
