The Whispering Cairn
A handful of would-be adventurers gathers to explore an ancient tomb, eager to trade their discoveries for a ticket to a better life. What they find within presages the advent of the Age of Worms, an era of darkness, decay, and writhing doom.
"The Whispering Cairn" is the first installment of the Age of Worms Adventure Path, a complete campaign consisting of 12 adventures, several "Backdrop" articles to help Dungeon masters run the series, and a handful of poster maps of key locations. For additional aid in running this campaign, check out Dragon's monthly "Worm Food" articles, a series that provides additional materials to help players survive this campaign.

Orangeman44 has played this adventure and would recommend it.
Really enjoy this adventure. It has a great and well-flushed out starting town and the 'dungeon' has puzzles, exploration, and combat all rolled into it. Thumbs up for sure.
