Depending on the season (3 months in the winter, 6 weeks in the summer), undead may come swarming out once the barriers are removed. Conversely, I didn't realize that spellcasters need to see a corpse to animate it or speak with it -- makes sense as most spells require line of sight -- so that means anyone trying to cast a spell on a corpse needs to dig it up (mold earth is useful, but not if a mortsafe is involved!) or magically scry it. Digging up graves is pretty much a third of the new D&D movie and demonstrates how amusing (and frustrating) this can be in a game.</blockquote>
