I have finally defeated this adventure but found the last fight very challenging. There is clearly a strategy I am not thinking of, which will probably be needed again. Can the people who found this boringly easy pipe up with the strategies/builds they used to beat it?
I think last time I did it, my dwarf warrior just walked into the pile of undead and Chopped them down with wizard ready to remove any armor or Only Bones. Worked well enough, though I have a bit better gear now than when I first did it.
I remember using a lot of terrain attachments on the vp squares, keeping the mobs away until I could whittle them down.
I got the most use out of a wizard with resistant hide, firestorms, boil armors, and hotspot/spikes. I ran reliable mails on my warrior & cleric to help with firestorm spam, and kited opponents into high damage combos with my warrior. Cleric fed cards with Altruism+Inspire and healed. Never really noticed many issues. Had a fairly mobile group (all elves).
I recall the muscular zombie giving me trouble. He hits really hard, and the difficult terrain and the skeletons keep you from positioning yourself ideally. I think I lost the first time I did it, and got through the second time by really focusing on the muscular zombie - saving my big attacks for him.
It took me three or four runs and a rebuild. My problem wasn't the muscular zombie but the Lich hurling spells at me (I had a slow group, two dwarves and a human). When it finally worked, I used a wall of stone to delay the muscular zombie and give me cover from the lich. I drew lots of high attacks and killed the skeletons almost in the first round. When the lich popped around the wall to attack, I hit it with everything, and he went down pretty fast. I then kited the zombie and hot-spotted the festering zombie. The first time was my first attempt to use whirlwind enemies. It pretty much left my group pinned down with the undead. It was the most hilarious bad luck I've had yet. Things I fixed: Lots of step attacks on my warrior Missile blocks for both warrior and priest. Okay, that's about it.
