1 Mike: Well, we made it into the secret passage below the silver throne.
2 Lucas: You know, we may know our way through the Tomb, but what are we going to do about the demi-lich Acererak who awaits at the end?
3 Mike: Don’t panic. We just need a good strategy.
4 Lucas: Sure. Do you favour “Run” or “Die”?

Surely some of you must have been wondering about this. They may be able to cleverly get through all of the secret doors and avoid the traps by knowing what's coming up in the adventure because they've played it before. But at the end lurks Acererak the demi-lich^[1].

Here is an undead villain so powerful that even high-level adventurers armed with powerful spells and magic weapons stand almost no chance against him. What is our intrepid band going to do??

What indeed?
