d100 Strange Lone Graves

Second session of frost giant G2 module and it feels like a boring wargame resource planning exercise. I will have to intervene as one or two sessions more is unappealing. I might use my own glacial dungeon zone stuff and campaign setting.

Anyway....

d100 Strange Lone Graves 
When in wilderness or even occasionally in a urban graveyard, some graves stand out as weird and usually trouble. Many have treasure. Some are traps or contain very powerful undead. In many cases the intruders get a chance to escape from the most deadliest breeds who cant be bothered to chase low level weaklings. Some graves might be red herrings or even traps. Enemies might offer party a map and story to a deadly grave as a trick to kill heroes. Similar grave often found nearby.
