A bell tolls underground whenever the ooze feeds; the sound is bone knocking bone inside it.

The Crypt's Hunger
The party ventures into an ancient crypt to retrieve a lost relic, but discovers the Ossuary Ooze has animated the bones of the dead, turning the burial chambers into a living nightmare of acid and bone where the walls weep pale jelly and the dead refuse to rest.
The Weeping Crypt
You enter the ancient crypt where the walls weep pale jelly that drags bones out of their niches. The air is thick with the stench of decay and something else - something acidic and wrong. You can hear the sound of bone knocking bone echoing through the chambers, and the tracks on the floor look like smeared handprints and rib-cage scrapes leading deeper into the crypt. The Ossuary Ooze has made this place its domain, and it will not let you disturb its work. You must navigate the treacherous burial chambers while avoiding the animated bones and the corrosive slime that coats the walls.
