Were these legendary brothers religious? If so, you could have them "awaken" into whatever afterlife the brothers went to after they died. They can meet the dead heroes (and have a small adventure in a strange and wondrous place) who want them to return and avenge their bloodline. The dead brothers (perhaps with the assistance of their patron deity) resurrect the PCs and off you go.Now - where were the PCs’ bodies? Did the hired muscle leave them in the tomb? Did they take the bodies to the Mayor? What would the Mayor do with such bodies (clearly he shouldn’t have destroyed the bodies)? Some things you might consider: Resurrecting PCs isn’t done lightly – perhaps the players are mistaken for undead when they return (the Mayor hung them in the town square for all to see)? Maybe the patron deity of the brothers (assuming there was one) wants a service (or services) in return for their lives. Maybe a long dead enemy of the brothers laid a curse on their tomb and it attaches to the souls of the players when they die there. Maybe all of the above.</blockquote>
