Brainstorm - Help me populate a necropolis

[Traveller From Afar]

Make it creepy, give it atmosphere, you'll get more bang for your buck by implication than by having teeming hordes of skellingtons around every corner. Build up the tension until they are ready to scream, then defuse it with a bit of comedy, then immediately hit them with the monsters. I'd focus more on important events rather than a stock room by room search.

 

[Raven Crowking]

Obviously, a group of gnolls has found a different entrance, cleared out some minor undead, and are using part of the necropolis as a lair, raiding both inward and outside the dungeon in their own quest for riches, fame, and bones to crunch between their hyena-like jaws.
