Gravehurst 2 (Roll20) - Mother of Bones
Publisher: Dungeon Masters Guild
Gravehurst 2 - Mother of Bones
Bring your players back to the coastal village where pumpkin festivals and old friends greet you. The fields are haunted, the air itself chokes with death, and deep in the ruins waits a woman who calls herself Mother of Bones.
Plot Hook
The merchant Annevieve writes to the party, inviting them as guests of honor to Gravehurst’s annual pumpkin festival. But before the revelry begins, the village is attacked. Annevieve is dragged into the Haunted Fields by clawed horrors, leaving behind terrified children and shaken villagers.
The trail leads through choking blight, skeletal patrols, and the ruins of a cathedral that hides a necromancer’s undertemple. There, your players will encounter the Mother of Bones herself. A powerful necromancer who is accumulating the undead to her command. Can you save Annevieve and the village before they they succumb to her undeath ways?
What You Get:
• A complete Halloween-ready one-shot adventure for levels 3 to 6
• A flexible structure: run the full multi-scene dungeon crawl, or use the 3-hour shortened undertemple map
• Memorable NPCs like Annevieve, Mirabel, the village elders, and returning faces from the first Gravehurst
• Unique monsters: shadowbound undead, bile zombies, crawling claw swarms, and a flesh golem puzzle encounter
• The sinister Mother of Bones, a necromancer boss with lair actions and a skeletal throne room finale
• New magic items, including Death’s Grasp, a spectral glove of necrotic power, and the Lightning Core
• Hazards like the choking blight and puzzles like the lightning conduit that blend roleplay, strategy, and player ingenuity
• Written for easy prep, smooth pacing, and tense, atmospheric play across one or two sessions
Why GMs Love This
Gravehurst 2: Mother of Bones balances village festival warmth with creeping horror. Just when the pumpkin pies come out, the claws and shadows return and your players are called to action.
The villagers are scared but remember our heroes and have a glimmer of hope. This isn't just another Halloween romp. It's a story your players will remember forever as the holidays come around.
