From publisher blurb:
A Shadow of the Demon Lord adventure for Novice Characters
It takes a certain sort to live a stone’s throw away from the Desolation. The climate’s shit, with temperatures hot enough to boil one’s little gray cells in the brain pan, rain scarcer than a beardless dwarf, and then there’s the undead. Best guess is that there’s a million of them crawling around in the sandy wastes that stretch from the northernmost border of the Northern Reach to who knows where in the lands beyond. The undead have come crashing out of the wastes again and again, and each time the defenders throw them back. But as the people of Scarfell—a speck of a town built in the foothills west of the Iron Peaks—are about to learn, even the lands’ dedicated defenders might not be enough.
Best Left Buried offers dangerous adventure to a group of novice characters. They complete the adventure when they put a stop to the sudden rise of twitching, walking dead threatening to overrun the whole community. Whether used as a launch point for an entire campaign or as a standalone one-shot scenario, this adventure’s brutality is bound to make an impression.
