Day of the Dead dinosaurs coming to a table near you.

I think autocorrect didn't like your description of the Temple of the Feathered Lords. I think it's sporting "friezes" rather "frenzies" of dinosaurs? But it could be frenzies in an adventure I guess?

OK here's my take on the hook (which seems a bit vague?):

The University has just built a natural history museum with a display of freshly uncovered dinosaur bones and skeletons celebrating the . The pride of exhibit is some perfect mummified body (what kind of dino is the mummy lord?) from the vaults that has been missing it's head, until it was recently discovered. The head is going to be reconnected as part of the grand celebration. All the town has been invited to the event so there's a large turn out and lots of partying. Kids running around pretending to be dinosaurs etc.

So the opening ceremony begins and the head is reconnected to the body, which of course triggers the return of the mummy lord. He appears in the middle of celebration and he's pretty pissed off that his old capital city is running with humanoid vermin so he raises his long lost children (all the undead dinosaurs that pop out of the ground) and promptly teleports in to the depths of the Feathered Capital.

The city is in chaos, who will save Aztlan from this undead scourge?!

[MENTION=6801558]robus[/MENTION] That’s awesome! I love the idea of people taking these and running with the ideas.

I ran the original and it was great fun. Reducing it to a one-page adventure loses a lot.

I'm just not a fan of these one-page adventures. Especially when I'm familiar with the original works.
