The Tomb Tappers
A downloadable tabletop RPG scenario
Exactly What Haunts Greenfield?
The church caretaker needs help. At night he's heard tapping from a few of the tombs behind (and under) the church in the past week. He investigated and got scared off by a large, barely-glimpsed beast in Evander Lucius's tomb. Recently he discovered a sheep split in two on the steps, and one looked withered as if it was outside for a month instead of overnight.
He thinks it's a spirit of some sort, but he needs to know what's happening and how to put the spirit to rest.
Adventurers Wanted
Investigate the tombs, discover what makes the tapping noise, and maybe have a chat with the memories of the dead in each tomb.
A Trifold Scenario
I highly recommend you print a physical copy. The scenario involves three tombs folding into each other, represented by maps meeting each other across the paper's folds. Some origami may be involved for some of the permutations, but I have a free PDF of each map combination available below for ease of use at your table (Added on 8/2/2026).
Designer's Note:
Once again, I think I took my assigned title way too literally. Sure, there's a tapping noise coming from the tombs each night, but there's another meaning once the party finds out what makes that noise. I designed it as more of a mystery, so it's not combat-heavy. However, if the party isn't careful, they could end up like that bisected sheep.
