The Encounter Lairs Sets are very useful to me as a DM as short-adventures or side adventures. This one in particular is awesome! Although small in space, this tomb along with the Leafy Dungeon Entrance Tile made up one short adventure for my 5E group. You can see the write up here: https://thulaen.wordpress.com/.

Another fine product in the Inked Adventures' "Encounter Lairs" range, if one that feels a little cramped for space. The stone-walled, partly looted, Barrow Tomb is, as ever, beautifully drawn, with the expected degree of hand-designed detailing from this company, and the figures, by Dave Wears (better known in places such as the Cardboard Warriors Forum as "Kiladecus"), are excellently-drafted too. Eleven minis are warrior skeletons, three others more spectral (one of which, the Undead King of the scenario-suggestion paragraph, is rather lich-like), with three skeletons having optional spear and axe heads to fit to their polearms for more variety. All except the King are plate-armoured, which may reduce their usefulness for some campaign settings, and indicates the need for a strongly-armed party to overcome them.

Despite all the figure bases with the pack having internal stone-floor flagging only, the scenario-suggestion implies the need to defeat the skeleton force in the field first, leaving the Barrow as the focus for the adventure's climax, perhaps tackling no more than the three "spectrals", or the King and a couple of surviving skeletons inside or just outside it, say. For the Barrow's size, this would be likely a useful basis to work from in designing a game with it, although different figures would open up alternatives, while still using the Barrow setting.

Even with a reduced population, the squashed-in nature of the Barrow PDF page remains, as one end and the extracted soil from the broken entrance extend outside the borders of the surface tile surrounding the whole, while the other end barely squeezes inside that border, losing some of the detail on the small bat-winged statue there in the process. I found the grassy background for the Barrow tile printed out too dark as well, not helped by the heavy black tile border, and felt a slightly larger grassed area without that border would have made the whole seem less forced to fit. While a barrow should seem claustrophobic, the world beyond shouldn't, so a little further tweaking here would have been beneficial.

Overall though, the Barrow interior and figures are delightful, and a particularly thoughtful touch with the package was providing one page with an outline plan of the Barrow at reduced scale, leaving space below for a personal scenario design to be added.

Another great set from Inked Adventures.

This is a good mini-adventure encounter: you get a one page map with a few rooms and a bunch of nasties to beat on your players with.

The drawing style is remenicent of the old Citadel/Games Workshop Dungeon Floorplans days, giving it a great retro style.

My only complaint is that the mini bases are awkward to assemble. I'd rather see something like the Pathfinder Minis or Battle! Studio does for their minis.

Inked Adventures delivers another great product in Encounter Lairs 4: Barrow Tomb. The artwork is top notch, with a very retro hand drawn style. The set includes 14 figures, a 1 page full color map, a half sized black and white map for the Dungeon Master, instructions and bases. The set is well worth the asking price.

The undead models are great looking and they don't look too specifically like any specific undead race.You can get a lot of mileage out of them using them as skeletons at low levels and something more sinister later on. The robed model is something special and it just screams that it's the leader. I am quite looking forward to using them in my D&D adventures.

The map is beautiful. It is extremely detailed and of course is compatible with the rest of the inked adventures line, or any other line using similar scale (so pretty much everything.)

I gave the set 4 out of 5 stars. All the contents are 5 star material, but I feel the map is a little cramped to try and put 14+ models on it. You don't have to shove 14 models on it, but since that comes with the set I'm sure it will be the knee jerk reaction to try to do, at least it's mine, maybe it's just O.C.D. on my part. Throw in models for the adventuring party and it's standing room only. A 2 page map would have left more room tomaneuver
