Everybody Conveniently Dies in a Cemetery 

This encounter takes place near the town of Short Rope. Short Rope isn't specific to any particular campaign setting like the Forgotten Realms or Eberron.

The mayor of Short Rope, Arnold Farnsworth, has sent messengers far and wide searching for champions to free them of the unknown menace threatening their town, offering 100 GP to anyone brave enough to enter the cemetery and defeat the evil lurking within.

Character Creation
All Characters are 1st level. Characters are generated with the 27-point buy system. Any official WotC race/lineage and class/subclass is allowed. Please, no Homebrew or 3rd party material. 

Advice for Players
• Play characters you care about. Yes, they are going to die, but their journey can be filled with meaning if the characters themselves have meaning. Start with someone you love and do
everything you can in the short time you have with them.
• Try a character type—or a party composition—you might never consider for a longer campaign. A party of four wizards might be fun, and will live just as long as a balanced one!
• Commit fully to the high stakes of the story, given circumstances, and goals. The best choices lean into your character being a hero destined for greatness.

All the players but one will announce their characters’ reasons for seeking out this adventure (money, magic, fame, or perhaps visiting the remains of a
long-lost relative who’s buried at the cemetary). One character (chosen at random) will be given a "special background" for the game.

Also, starting at 1st level, characters get a bonus feat from the following list:
