Red Pyramids

The **Red Pyramids** were a collection of thirteen tall, pentagonal pyramids that stood in a circle in the very center of Ascore, carved all of strange red stone.

The grim pyramids were used, according to legends, by a hag covey as a focus for casting great spells or as a site for rituals enacted in the worship of an evil god. A mysterious pool of liquid shadow lay in the center of the ring of pyramids, protecting a lich's phylactery that was revealed to belong to Veddubul.

Four of the thirteen pyramids had riddles inscribed on them. When someone spoke the wrong answer, a shadow demon would spawn from the liquid shadow. When the correct answer was spoken, the liquid shadow dissipated, revealing a little more of what was hidden in the pool.

## Riddles

Q: Who makes it has no need for it. Who buys it has no use for it. Who uses it has no knowledge of it.

A: A grave/coffin

Q: To keep me, I must be given. If I am not kept, I am broken.

A: Your word/a promise

Q: I never was, yet always will be. I am never seen, yet always come. I can carry nothing, yet hold much for some.

A: Tomorrow/the future

Q: Until I am measured, I am not known, yet how you miss me when I have flown.

A: Time

Levira Porridgepot

**Levira Porridgepot** was an adventurer who used to reside in the Silver Marches.

In 1491 DR, Levira was part of an adventuring group consisting of herself, Belreak, Bobo, and Conan. Together, they answered the summons of King Harnoth to investigate the dwarven ruins of the city of Ascore and identify if the dragons that were recently seen flying over the ruins were a threat to Citadel Adbar.

Levira and the rest of her party ventured into Ascore and found a lich's phylactery guarded by shadow creatures in the center of a ring of thirteen red pyramids. Following the lead, they uncovered a hidden portal that appeared to have been modified to act as a prison of sorts.

Curious, the adventurers opened the portal, accidentally releasing Veddubul, an Alhoon lich, into the world. Unfortunately, none of the adventurers' attacks were able to hurt the lich, and as such, the battle became one of wits. In an effort to avoid giving the lich its phylactery, the adventurers reopened the portal and valiantly marched through, taking the phylactery with them, and closing the portal behind them.
Emerald Enclave

The **Emerald Enclave** was an organization of druids and other nature worshipers.

The actions of the Enclave influenced the lives of the high and low, its members avoiding good and evil to focus on the needs of the natural world and resist the growing influence of humankind. Despite their primary goal of preserving nature, members were not direct opponents of progress; they preferred instead to work with civilized folk to promote the health of the natural world without resorting to acts of violence.
Hark

**Hark** was the leader of a group of goblins that resided in the Dripping Caves.

In 1490 DR, the Ardeep Elves expelled Hark and his fellow goblins from the Ardeep Forest. Hark relocated the goblins to a cave near the Nightstone village, named the Dripping Caves. However, their new home wasn't without trouble. The caves were home to a black pudding, which lived inside a hollow stalagmite, blocking the access to the cave complex's only source of clean water. A few goblins perished trying to get past the black pudding and since then they had to resort to drinking toxic water from other areas of the cave.

In 1491 DR, thanks to the cloud giants' bombardment of Nightstone, Hark managed to capture the fleeing villagers into the caves. A few of the villagers were used as food for his fellow goblins, ogres, or giant rat pets.

Hark was a reasonable goblin and always preferred to bargain than fight. A few days after the bombardment of Nightstone, Cardan and Bronn came to the caves to rescue the missing villagers. Hark saw that the adventurers had dispatched of most of his tribe, their allied ogres, and the black pudding, and as such immediately handed over the villagers. The adventurers then left and Hark and his remaining tribe were left to live in peace in the Dripping Caves.
Ascore

**Ascore** was a lonely, windswept ruin on the edge of the Anauroch, near the Frozen Sea, reputed to be haunted by an ancient evil.

Back in its day, it used to be a port city of a great dwarven nation.

In 1491 DR, citizens of the nearby Citadel Adbar had become concerned after reports of dragons being seen flying in the distance over the ruins of Ascore. A few days later, Bobo, Belreak, Conan, and Levira Porridgepot arrived in Ascore as per King Harnoth's request to investigate the dwarven ruins, destroy the long-rumored source of evil plaguing the ruins, and identify if the dragons are a threat to Citadel Adbar.

Thirteen tall, pentagonal pyramids stood in a circle in the very center of Ascore, carved all of strange red stone. Closer to, these grim pyramids were used, according to legends, by a hag covey as a focus for casting great spells or as a site for rituals enacted in the worship of an evil god. On some of these pyramids, lay an inscription of a riddle. A mysterious pool of liquid shadow lay in the center of the ring of pyramids. Responding correctly to one of the riddles caused the liquid shadow in the center of the ring of the thirteen red pyramids to dissipate temporarily.

After solving all the riddles and the liquid shadow was no more, the adventurers found a lich's phylactery hidden at the center of where the pool used to be. Following the lead, they started investigating the ruins of Ascore, eventually uncovering a hidden portal that appeared to have been modified to act as a prison of sorts.

Curious, the adventurers opened the portal, accidentally releasing Veddubul, an Alhoon lich, into the world. Unfortunately, none of the adventurers' attacks were able to hurt the lich, and as such, the battle became one of wits. In an effort to avoid giving the lich its phylactery, the adventurers reopened the portal and valiantly marched through, taking the phylactery with them, and closing the portal behind them.

**Morak Ur'gray** was the proprietor of the Nightstone Inn. He was a natural leader and always optimistic.

In 1491 DR, when the cloud giants started their bombardment against Nightstone, Morak gathered as many villagers as possible and led them in their escape. Taking refuge in the nearby Dripping Caves, however, Morak and his fellows were captured by the goblins of Boss Hark.

A few days later, Cardan and Bronn, along with Alara Winterspell, delved into the caves and rescued Morak and the other villagers. Morak was particularly upset to find out that the High Steward of Nightstone had perished during the attack.

Once safe, Morak asked Cardan if he would be able to deliver the sad news of the passing of the villagers' to their relatives: Darthag Ulgar's ex-wife, Alaestra Ulgar, who lived in Triboar; Semile Southwell's brother, Markham Southwell, who was the sheriff of Bryn Shander; and Lathan and Melantha Xelbrin's son, Miros Xelbrin, who lived in Goldenfields.

Cardan and Bronn headed north towards the Sword Coast North, passing by a few settlements. During their travels, they heard about Nightstone, a village with a goblin infestation problem and decided to look into it as it sounded like an easy way to make some gold for their travels.

Upon arriving in Nightstone, Cardan and Bronn found out that the village had recently suffered an attack by a group of cloud giants in a floating castle. The giants had reportedly come to steal the megalith in the center of town, for unknown reasons.

The two adventurers cleared the goblin infestation in town and with the help of the guards of Nandar Keep and the Ardeep Elves, eradicated the Zhentarim and Ear Seekers threat to the village.

Cardan and Bronn proceeded to visit the Dripping Caves with Alara Winterspell to rescue the missing villagers from the goblin boss Hark.

Upon returning to the village, Bronn decided that he wanted to stay in Nightstone to help protect it with the rest of the guards.

Concept Art

Map

**Cragmaw Castle** was an abandoned castle in which goblins from the Cragmaw tribe had taken residence in.

The goblins here were initially led by a hobgoblin known as Targor Bloodsword, a friend of Yeemik's. They kept a female owlbear in one of the towers, hoping to turn it into an ally later on, as well as a grick in the temple area.

After Godon, Alaya, and Allamir's attack on Cragmaw Castle in 1491 DR, it was revealed that Targor was usurped by a bugbear known as Grol, who declared himself king of the Cragmaws. Furthermore, it was revealed that the caged owlbear was Hero's mother, who was eventually set free.

Grol was revealed to have been sent there by the Black Spider, in order to enact his will of waylaying Gundren Rockseeker and retrieving his map of Wave Echo Cave.

During the attack in Grol's quarters, the adventurers were attacked by a female drow who seemed to have been working with Grol. The drow was identified as being Vyerith Xorlarrin.

## Inhabitants

* Grol
* Hero's Mother
* Targor Bloodsword
Hero's Mother

**Hero's Mother** was an owlbear and the mother of Hero.

Sometime in 1491 DR, the goblins of the Cragmaw tribe baited and captured Hero's Mother and held her in captivity in Cragmaw Castle.

In 1491 DR, Godon "Blackhand" Lugar, Allamir Cromwell and Alaya of Agedon, accompanied by Hero, attacked Cragmaw Castle. When the adventurers went near the tower where Hero's Mother was being kept, Hero became restless and started scratching at the door. The adventurers reunited Hero with his mother and watched them disappear into the Neverwinter Wood.
Linene Graywind

**Linene Graywind** was a female human that ran the Lionshield Coster outpost in Phandalin. She was a kind old woman that refused to do business with any who might be a threat to the town, notably the Redbrands.

In 1491 DR, one of the expected shipments from Neverwinter was stolen by the Cragmaw tribe under the command of the bugbear Klarg.

Godon "Blackhand" Lugar, Alaya of Agedon, and Allamir Cromwell had seen the goods in the Cragmaw Hideout during their attack and offered to go back and fetch them for Linene. In exchange, Linene offered to sell them a wagon and some horses for a much lower price.

Linene was a trusted merchant in Phandalin, and more so by the adventurers. Before the attack on the Redbrand Hideout, Godon approached Linene to request a black cloth, for which Linene contracted the help of Freda, and delivered within the day.

A few days later, Linene was visited by Cardan, who explained the situation at Nightstone and informed Linene of Darthag Ulgar's demise. Linene then passed on the news to Godon, Allamir, and Alaya, and asked them to deliver a letter to his ex-wife, Alaestra Ulgar, in Triboar, containing the sad news of his passing and her condolences.
Norgra One-Eye

**Norgra One-Eye** was the lieutenant of the Ear Seekers tribe and a spellcaster known as an Eye of Gruumsh.

In 1491 DR, Norgra One-Eye was led by Gurrash to the Nightstone village where they planned to take a stand against the Ardeep Elves.

In the attempt to take over Nightstone, the Ear Seekers fought against Cardan, Bronn, a few Zhentarim agents, and the guards of Nandar Keep.

The wood elves of the Ardeep Forest eventually caught up with them in Nightstone and ended them.
Darthag Ulgar

In 1491 DR, when the cloud giants attacked Nightstone, he escaped town with Morak Ur'gray and made his way to the Dripping Caves, where he, along with the rest of the villagers, was taken captive by the resident goblins.

When Cardan and Bronn came to rescue the villagers, they found Darthag's remains on the floor of Hark's lair, being eaten by his giant rat pets.

On Morak's request, Cardan agreed to deliver the sad news of Darthag's passing to his colleague and dear friend, Linene Graywind, in Phandalin, and to his ex-wife, Alaestra Ulgar, in Triboar.
Ardeep River

The **Ardeep River** was a river in the Sword Coast North region, a few miles southeast of Waterdeep, between the River Dessarin and the Delimbiyr River.

The river originated in the Ardeep Forest and flowed westward to the Sea of Swords, where it forked into three branches forming a small delta.

The fortified village of Nightstone was located on a fenced island on the Ardeep River, a few miles south of the Ardeep Forest. The river served as a moat to the village, and the area was rich with trout.
Venomfang

**Venomfang** was a young green dragon that had taken residence in the old wizard's tower in the village of Thundertree, sometime after the eruption of Mount Hotenow in 1491 DR.

Venomfang had reportedly killed a number of giant spiders in the village, and Reidoth assumed that he considered them a delicacy.

In 1491 DR, Reidoth tasked Godon "Blackhand" Lugar, Alaya of Agedon, Allamir Cromwell, and Lytherys Moonwhisper with driving the dragon out of Thundertree.
Neverwinter Wood

**Neverwinter Wood** was a large forest area near the city of Neverwinter, which encompassed the Neverwinter River and Mount Hotenow, as well as an abandoned castle which had been taken over by goblins of the Cragmaw tribe as their headquarters.

Elmar Barthen

**Elmar Barthen** was the proprietor of Barthen's Provisions, one of the biggest trading posts in the town of Phandalin.

He was a lean and balding human male shopkeeper of fifty years with a kindly manner. He considered Gundren Rockseeker a friend and was excited by talk of discovering the lost mine of the Phandelver's Pact in the nearby hills.

In 1491 DR, Godon, Alaya, and Allamir delivered Gundren's supplies to Elmar's shop. He was worried to hear that Gundren hadn't made it to town yet, and encouraged the adventurers to locate him, in case he was in any trouble.

He revealed that Gundren's brothers, Nundro and Tharden, were camped somewhere outside of town, saying that he hadn't seen them in a tenday and that he expected them to return any day to resupply.

During their stay in Phandalin, the adventurers preferred to trade with Elmar due to his kind manner, willingness to help, and overall good prices.
Protonian

**Protonian** was an adventurer who used to reside in Bryn Shander. He was a paladin of Lendys.

Sometime in 1491 DR, Protonian and Lucy split from the adventuring party that they were a part of, taking some time off in Neverwinter. The group was roaming the surrounding areas in order to find and kill dragons. One such dragon was Venomfang of Thundertree. Knowing of this dragon, Protonian and Lucy decided to go to Thundertree.

In Thundertree, they met Godon "Blackhand" Lugar, Alaya of Agedon, and Allamir Cromwell, and helped them kill Glasstaff. They talked about attacking Venomfang but eventually decided against it.

Godon, Alaya, and Allamir offered Lucy and Protonian to join them during their travels. After some knowledge-sharing, they decided to go to Wave Echo Cave to find its entrance and stop the Black Spider.

Protonian and the rest of the adventurers fought a few bugbears led by a drow named Vhalak Xorlarrin. In an attempt to flee, Vhalak ran towards the Temple of Dumathoin, where his brother, Nezznar the Black Spider, had set up camp. After a strenuous battle, the adventurers managed to defeat and kill the Black Spider, ending his tyranny in the areas around Phandalin. Lucy found a letter on Nezznar which seemed to explain some of his actions, while Godon found a Rod of the Vonindod lying on the table next to the statue of Dumathoin. Upon further inspection, they found a key that opened the door next to the temple. Inside the room was an injured Nundro Rockseeker, who had been kept prisoner and tortured by Nezznar for information about the cave. The adventurers helped Nundro and escorted him out of the cave, reuniting him with Gundren.

Following the path to get to the Forge of Spells, the adventurers encountered a horde of zombies led by a flameskull. The green-flamed creature laughed as it hurled a fireball on the adventurers, knocking out half the group in one go. In a heroic act of bravery, a heavily injured Godon jumped in to heal the party, saving Protonian and Allamir, and using his godly powers to scare away the flameskull, giving enough time for the rest of the party to regroup.

Unfortunately, this gave the zombies enough time to gang up on Godon, critically wounding him and tearing him to pieces. Alaya saw Godon being torn to pieces but it was too late to save him. She turned into a dire wolf and swung his corpse on her back, and retreated out of the cave with the rest of the group.

The group tried to convince Sister Garaele to help them bring Godon back, but she could not help with such a task. She directed the group to seek counsel at the Temple of Lathander in Neverwinter, however, the group had no luck there either. Eventually, the group was convinced that it was time to let go and decided to bury Godon in Neverwinter Wood.
Lathan Xelbrin

**Lathan Xelbrin** was the husband of Melantha Xelbrin.

In 1491 DR, following the cloud giants' attack on Nightstone, Lathan and Melantha were killed when the roof of their cottage collapsed.

Morak Ur'gray asked Cardan to deliver the sad news of the Xelbrins passing to their son, Miros Xelbrin, who resided in Goldenfields.
Gurrash

**Gurrash** was the war chief of the Ear Seekers tribe.

In 1491 DR, Gurrash led his orcs against the Ardeep Elves, but they were defeated. An injured Gurrash guided his fellows in retreat to the Nightstone village where he planned to make a stand.

In the attempt to take over Nightstone, the Ear Seekers fought against Cardan, Bronn, a few Zhentarim agents, and the guards of Nandar Keep.

The wood elves of the Ardeep Forest eventually caught up with them in Nightstone and ended them.
Mount Hotenow

Concept Art

**Mount Hotenow** was a volcano amid the Crags mountain range, situated to the northeast of the city of Neverwinter on the Sword Coast North, deep in Neverwinter Wood.

In 1451 DR, Mount Hotenow erupted, taking out a big chunk of the city of Neverwinter and destroying the nearby town of Thundertree.

In 1491 DR, it erupted once more, destroying much of Neverwinter Wood and killing a tribe of Eladrin that had made its home there, who Alaya of Agedon was related to.

When Godon "Blackhand" Lugar, Allamir Cromwell, and Alaya of Agedon visited Thundertree to find out what caused the eruption, Reidoth insisted that a cult of fire-worshipping creatures had taken residence in Mount Hotenow and caused its abrupt eruption.
Harnoth

**Harnoth** was the king of Citadel Adbar.

In 1491 DR, citizens of Citadel Adbar had become concerned after reports of dragons being seen flying in the distance over the ruins of Ascore. In response to their concerns, King Harnoth hired a group of adventurers (Belreak, Bobo, Conan, and Levira Porridgepot) to investigate the dwarven ruins of the city of Ascore, destroy the long-rumored source of evil plaguing the ruins, and identify if the dragons were a threat to Citadel Adbar.

Halia Thornton

**Halia Thornton** was the guildmaster of the Phandalin Miner's Exchange in Phandalin, as well as a member of the Zhentarim.

In 1491 DR, she approached Allamir Cromwell, after becoming aware of his presence in Phandalin, supposedly knowing of him through her contacts in the Zhentarim. She appeared to be very ambitious and calculating

Halia held a grudge against the Redbrands and instructed Allamir to encourage his group to bring her Glasstaff's head and any correspondence found in his quarters, in exchange for some coin. She proceeded to tell Allamir that if he ever found himself in Triboar and in need of work, he should look for Urlam Stockspool.

Halia also mentioned to the adventurers that she had received word that the village of Nightstone was recently destroyed by unknown means, however, a floating castle had been seen nearby Waterdeep around that time, which roused suspicions among officials.

Due to her ties in the Zhentarim, Godon "Blackhand" Lugar and Alaya of Agedon harbored some distrust towards her. This was intensified after her obvious attempts to talk to Allamir personally without the rest of the group being present.

Before the adventurers made their way to Wave Echo Cave, they stopped by Phandalin, but could not find Halia anywhere.
Drezlin Nandar

Lord **Drezlin Nandar** was the High Steward of Nightstone.

Sometime before 1490 DR, he founded the village of Nightstone.

In 1490 DR, he led the inhabitants of Nightstone into the Ardeep Forest and started making hunting expeditions. These incursions infuriated the wood elves of the Ardeep Forest. In the following years, the conflict escalated until the elves assaulted Nightstone. Drezlin was among the many slain,­ shot, and killed by elf arrows while standing on the roof of his keep. His widow, Lady Velrosa Nandar, made peace with the elves and promised to make no further incursions into the Ardeep Forest - a promise she kept for the rest of her life.

His bones were laid to rest in the Nandar crypt in Nightstone.

**Nilsa Dendrar** was the daughter of Mirna Dendrar and Thel Dendrar and the sister of Nars Dendrar.

In 1491 DR, after Godon "Blackhand" Lugar, Alaya of Agedon, and Allamir Cromwell killed four Redbrands in broad daylight, the thugs decided to show the townsfolk who's boss. They came to Thel Dendrar's woodcarving shop and leered at his wife. When he reacted against them, they killed him and kidnapped his wife and children and brought them to their hideout.

The Redbrands planned on selling the Dendrars to slavery but were stopped by the adventurers after their attack on the Redbrand Hideout.
Agatha

**Agatha** was a banshee who haunted the Neverwinter Wood near Conyberry. She resided in what became known as Agatha's Lair.

She allegedly retained her sanity in undeath and was able to barter and talk with mortals.

A few weeks later, an elf named Jaxon approached the adventurers and mentioned that Agatha used to go by a different name in life. That name was Auglatha, which Alaya and Allamir understood to mean "Winterbreeze" in Elvish. He further mentioned that if the adventurers wish to grab Agatha's attention, they should inquire about a certain mask that she used to own.
Redbrands

The **Redbrands** were a group of bandits and brigands that, in approximately 1491 DR, had settled in the resettled frontier town of Phandalin near the Triboar Trail and the Sword Mountains.

With no local lord or powerful authority within the small town, the Redbrands were able to harass the farmers and prospectors for two months. Many were afraid of standing up to the bandit group, including the townmaster, the closest thing to local authority Phandalin had, Harbin Wester.

The Redbrands mostly consisted of humans, male and female. Each Redbrand wore a simple, dirty scarlet cloak.

In 1491 DR, Godon "Blackhand" Lugar, Alaya of Agedon, and Allamir Cromwell attacked the Redbrand Hideout, killing the majority of the Redbrands, and forcing their leader, Glasstaff, to flee to the town of Thundertree. The adventurers spared one of the Redbrands, Myrdin, who they handed off to Harbin to lock up in the jail cell in the Townmaster's Hall.

Conan and the rest of her party ventured into Ascore and found a lich's phylactery guarded by shadow creatures in the center of a ring of thirteen red pyramids. Following the lead, they uncovered a hidden portal that appeared to have been modified to act as a prison of sorts.

Curious, the adventurers opened the portal, accidentally releasing Veddubul, an Alhoon lich, into the world. Unfortunately, none of the adventurers' attacks were able to hurt the lich, and as such, the battle became one of wits. In an effort to avoid giving the lich its phylactery, the adventurers reopened the portal and valiantly marched through, taking the phylactery with them, and closing the portal behind them.

Nothic (Redbrand Hideout)

The **Nothic** was a one-eyed creeping monster that lurked in the crevasse area of the Redbrand Hideout.

The crevasse area emanated a faint necromantic aura which caused all organic matter to age and decompose at half the normal rate. This allowed the Nothic to remain well-fed over long periods of time.

In 1491 DR, Godon, Allamir, and Alaya encountered the nothic during their attack on the Redbrands.

The nothic hid behind one of the stone pillars of the crevasse, where it started telepathically delving into the adventurers' minds and using their fears and secrets against them. It mocked Alaya's lack of home and called her quest to find Reidoth futile, saying that her parents would be disappointed in what she'd become. It proceeded to call Godon a coward for running away from home, mocked him for his craft and said that his god turned his back on him much like he did his own family. Turning to Allamir, the nothic mocked his intelligence, telling him he had been kicked out of the Zhentarim but was too stupid to figure it out, calling him a disappointment and a failure.

Eventually, the nothic revealed itself, which led to a long and tenuous fight, which the adventurers won. During the fight, Godon fell into the crevasse, where he saw Thel Dendrar's corpse, revealing that the nothic had been feasting on it.

Once the nothic was slain, the adventurers covered up the crevasse, putting its necromantic magic in a dormant state.
Wyvern Tor

**Wyvern Tor** was a crag in the hills northeast of the Sword Mountains and was easily seen by any on the Triboar Trail near the vicinity of Conyberry.

In 1491 DR, Harbin Wester, the townmaster of Phandalin, put up a job for someone to take care of the orcs in Wyvern Tor. Sometime later, Godon "Blackhand" Lugar, Alaya of Agedon, Allamir Cromwell, and Lytherys Moonwhisper accepted the job and received a down payment in advance.
Citadel Adbar

**Citadel Adbar** was a fortress city in the Silver Marches.

The Citadel consisted of a massive fortified fortress that provided surface access to miles and miles of defensive granite corridors, tunnels, and hallways that wind their way under the mountains. The city could house up to 60,000 dwarves in relative comfort, though less then a third of that number were usually present.

In 1491 DR, citizens of Citadel Adbar had become concerned after reports of dragons being seen flying in the distance over the ruins of Ascore. In response to their concerns, King Harnoth hired a group of adventurers (Belreak, Bobo, Conan, and Levira Porridgepot) to investigate the dwarven ruins of the city of Ascore, destroy the long-rumored source of evil plaguing the ruins, and identify if the dragons were a threat to Citadel Adbar.

A shield is strapped to your arm and as such requires 1 action to don or doff. You cannot drop a shield using a free action, as it takes time to remove it from your arm.

## Reactions (PHB p. 190)

If a reaction you can take is dependent on being hit, you can inform the Dungeon Master you're activating the ability, and rewind and replay the attack as if you had cast the ability before it, using the original attack roll. The player does not get to know the attack roll, only that they were hit.

## Actions in Combat (PHB p. 192)

When you take your action on your turn, you can take one of the actions presented here, an action you gained from your class or a special feature, or an action that you improvise.

## Use an Object (PHB p. 193)

You can interact with one object for free during your turn, such as drawing a weapon, opening a door, or picking up a weapon from the ground. If you want to interact with a second object, you need to use an action.

## Two-Weapon Fighting (PHB p. 195)

When you take the Attack action and attack with a light melee weapon that you’re holding in one hand, you can use a bonus action to attack with a different light melee weapon that you’re holding in the other hand. You cannot use a bonus action to attack if you’ve spent your action to cast a spell that does a melee weapon attack.

## Critical Hits (PHB p. 196)

When you score a critical hit, you get to roll extra dice for the attack's damage against the target. Roll all of the attack's damage dice twice and add them together. Then add any relevant modifiers as normal.

If the attack involves other damage dice, such as from the Rogue's Sneak Attack feature, you roll those dice twice as well.

## Material Components (PHB p. 203)

Casting some spells requires particular objects, specified in parentheses in the component entry. A character can use a component pouch or a spellcasting focus in place of the components specified for a spell. But if a cost is indicated for a component, a character must have that specific component before he or she can cast the spell.
Kella Darkhope

**Kella Darkhope** was a Zhentarim agent in Nightstone.

In 1491 DR, Kella went to Nightstone posing as a wandering monk. In truth, she was planning to occupy the village in the name of the Zhentarim. However, a bombardment from a cloud giant castle left the city almost abandoned and defenseless, changing Kella's plan into just waiting for the arrival of her associates and conquering the city. She remained hidden in the village's tavern while goblins were raiding the surrounding buildings.

During the attack of the Ear Seekers on Nightstone, Kella fell in the battlefield. Her body was taken by Xolkin Alassandar.
Vyerith Xorlarrin

**Vyerith Xorlarrin** was a drow and the sister of Nezznar Xorlarrin.

At an unknown point in time, Vyerith started working with her brother Nezznar to take control of the Wave Echo Cave.

Sometime in 1491 DR, Vyerith received a note from Nezznar, which said the following:

Dearest sister,
I have found the entrance to the cave, however, I'm having trouble getting through.

Make haste towards the castle. End the dwarf's life and any other's involved, and send Grol to join the others underneath Tresendar Manor.

Then join me so that we may begin negotiations with Zalto's agents. Time is of the essence.

Your loving brother,

Nezznar Xorlarrin
As per the note, Vyerith was instructed to go to Cragmaw Castle and tell Grol to join the rest of the bugbears in Tresendar Manor, where the Redbrands kept their hideout. Finally, Nezznar wanted her to kill Gundren Rockseeker and then join him so that they could begin negotiations with the agents of a mysterious individual named Zalto.

Vyerith was killed by Godon "Blackhand" Lugar, Alaya of Agedon, and Allamir Cromwell during their attack on Cragmaw Castle.
Sildar Hallwinter

**Sildar Hallwinter** was a kindhearted human male of nearly fifty years who held a place of honor in the famous griffon cavalry of the great city of Waterdeep. He was an agent of the Lords' Alliance.

In 1491 DR, Sildar met Gundren Rockseeker in Neverwinter and agreed to accompany him back to Phandalin. There, he also met Godon "Blackhand" Lugar, Alaya of Agedon, and Allamir Cromwell, who were more than willing to escort Gundren's wagon full of supplies to Phandalin. Sildar promised Godon a letter of recommendation to join the Lords' Alliance as a blacksmith after the escorting assignment was finished.

However, after Gundren and Sildar set out for Phandalin, they were ambushed and taken hostage at the Cragmaw Hideout.

Godon, Alaya, and Allamir managed to negotiate his release from the goblins and escort him to Phandalin, where they resupplied before heading out to Cragmaw Castle to save Gundren.

After Gundren was rescued, Sildar provided Godon with an official letter of recommendation from the Lords' Alliance, which said the following:

Be it known to all those who bear witness of this letter, that the carrier of this document is an ally to the Lords' Alliance, a fine and dedicated blacksmith, and a warrior against injustice.
Let this document confirm that I have no qualms in recommending Godon Lugar for any and all assignments that require a direct approach, as well as any employment relating to his smithing skills.

Lords' AllianceSildar then urged the adventurers to help him restore Phandalin to order by dealing with the gang known as the Redbrands that was terrorizing the town.

After the adventurers returned with the information that the real name of the leader of the Redbrands was Iarno Albrek, Sildar was surprised. He explained that he initially wanted to come to Phandalin because he was tasked with investigating the fate of Iarno Albrek, a human wizard and fellow member of the Lords' Alliance who disappeared shortly after arriving in Phandalin.

The adventurers later returned with a captive Redbrand named Myrdin, who Sildar locked up in a jail cell in the Townmaster's Hall, and had planned to escort to Neverwinter for a trial.
Dripping Caves

Map

The **Dripping Caves** was a cave complex in the hills north of Nightstone.

In 1491 DR, after the cloud giant attack on Nightstone, the villagers of Nightstone, along with some guards, ran for their lives and hid in the Dripping Caves under the leadership of Morak Ur'gray.

Unbeknownst to them, a group of goblins had taken residence in the caves. As a result, the villagers were taken hostage and were being used as food to the resident goblins and their allied ogres.

A few days after the attack, Cardan, Bronn, and Alara Winterspell arrived at the Dripping Caves, hoping to find and rescue the villagers.

Cardan, Bronn, and Alara made quick work of the majority of the goblins in the main part of the caves but quickly attracted the attention of the ogres. Eventually, the two adventurers and the dispatched guard found the villagers tied up around a deep cavern that contained thousands of bats. Through quiet coordination and avoiding agitating the bats, the villagers were rescued and escorted out of the cave.

Cardan and Bronn proceeded to explore the rest of the cave, finding dozens of goblin children gnawing on some unlucky villagers' bones, which they spared. Moving on, they discovered a peculiar-looking stalagmite which upon further inspection contained a creature known as a black pudding. The corrosive creature attacked the adventurers, but they easily managed to outrun and kite it from afar.

Eventually, the adventurers found a passage that was blocked by a massive boulder, and next to it, the lair of the goblin boss, Hark. Hark was accompanied by his two goblin bodyguards and seven giant rats. The rats were feasting on the remains of Darthag Ulgar and were eagerly awaiting their next meal in the form of Daphne Featherstone, who was locked in a cell behind Hark.

Cardan and Bronn intimidated Hark into surrendering the remaining villager, explaining that they already killed all of his goblins and ogres, and even took out the black pudding on the southeast side of the caves. After hearing that the adventurers managed to kill the black pudding, Hark exclaimed in relief. He explained that the creature had been guarding the only source of clean water in the caves. He eagerly agreed to release Daphne and was even willing enough to let the adventurers peak into his treasure room to ensure there were no other captives.

With all the remaining villagers rescued, the adventurers took some time to meet the people they had saved and eventually headed back to Nightstone.
Karrundax

**Karrundax** is an individual that Qildor was looking for during his stay in Thundertree.

Sometime in 1491 DR, Reidoth made out the word "Karrundax" during his attempt to converse with Venomfang. He passed on the information to Godon, Allamir, Alaya, and Lytherys when they came to visit him.

Godon, Alaya, Allamir, Lucy, and Protonian learned that Karrundax was an individual during a conversation with Qildor, during which he offered to pay the adventurers to look for information on Karrundax, but the adventurers denied.
Gundren Rockseeker

**Gundren Rockseeker** was one of the three dwarf brothers who rediscovered Wave Echo Cave.

He was the younger brother of Tharden Rockseeker and the older brother of Nundro Rockseeker. He was also a friend to Sildar Hallwinter, a member of the Lords' Alliance.

He met Godon, Alaya, and Allamir at the inn called Hekburn's Arms in Neverwinter and tasked them with escorting a wagon full of supplies to the nearby town of Phandalin, in exchange for 10 gold pieces. He explained that he and his brothers had found something amazing and he needed to ensure its safety.

He and Sildar left earlier to take care of some business but were attacked and kidnapped by goblins of the Cragmaw tribe. While Sildar was kept in the Cragmaw Hideout, Gundren, along with a map he was carrying, were delivered to King Grol in Cragmaw Castle.

While in captivity, Gundren learned that an individual known as the Black Spider had orchestrated and ordered his capture. The goblins, at Grol's orders, tortured Gundren and tried to get information from him regarding the Wave Echo Cave. At some point later, a drow named Vyerith came to kill Gundren, but her plans were thwarted when the adventurers came to Gundren's aid.

Gundren was escorted back to the town of Phandalin where he rested for a couple of days. He presented the adventurers with a reward for saving him and urged them to help him look for his brothers, who were missing.

A week or so later, the adventurers encountered Gundren outside the entrance to the Wave Echo Cave. They started exploring the cave with him when they stumbled upon Tharden Rockseeker's body. Gundren was inconsolable at his older brother's death and decided to carry him back to Phandalin and leave the adventurers to the task of reclaiming the Wave Echo Cave.
Reidoth

**Reidoth** was a human druid and member of the Emerald Enclave that was tasked with investigating and protecting the ruins of the old town of Thundertree.

Sometime before 1491 DR, he had discovered that the vines on the twig blights of Thundertree could be used as a medicinal herb that relaxed the body and mind, and became addicted to the substance.

In 1491 DR, Godon "Blackhand" Lugar, Alaya of Agedon, Allamir Cromwell, and Lytherys Moonwhisper, came to Thundertree to find Reidoth, in hopes of finding out more about the recent fire that plagued Neverwinter Wood and killed Alaya's tribe.

Reidoth explained to the adventurers that during that previous eruption of Mount Hotenow in 1451 DR, a wizard tried to shield Thundertree from the oncoming lava and debris. Unfortunately, the spell went wrong and the townsfolk were turned into ash zombies that still plagued the land.

He went on to explain that recently, Mount Hotenow had erupted once more, causing the fires that burned down half of Neverwinter Wood to the northwest. However, he insisted that this was no mere coincidence and that he believed that a cult of fire-worshipping creatures was behind this.

Furthermore, he said that since the eruption, a young green dragon named Venomfang had moved to the wizard's tower in Thundertree. He explained that a green dragon should not be here and that he is a threat against nature, urging the adventurers to drive the dragon off the land.

He allowed the adventurers to stay in his cabin during their stay in Thundertree, offering them food and water.
Workshop

Concept Art

The **Workshop** was one of the general goods shops in Neverwinter. It was owned by a silly gnome named Dorrick.

Dorrick didn't mind haggling for prices but took overall pride in his work, and as such was wary of being scammed. Dorrick's wares were often missing labels, so he often stocked what he called "unidentified potions", which he sold for a fraction of the normal price.

Sometime in 1491 DR, Godon "Blackhand" Lugar, Alaya of Agedon, and Allamir Cromwell came to the gnome's shop in order to buy some potions. Alaya, in exchange for some potions, created a huge sign made of stone that read "Workshop" in front of the shop, in order to attract more customers. A couple of hours later, however, the sign fell down, causing the shopowner to distrust adventurers.

A few weeks later, Lucy and Protonian met with Dorrick and bought a few potions from him, as well as a couple of horses from his brother Kelwin.

Droop

**Droop** was a goblin who used to reside in Cragmaw Hideout and later the Redbrand Hideout.

In 1491 DR, under unknown circumstances, he was taken hostage at the Redbrand Hideout underneath Tresendar Manor, to serve as a jester for the bugbears that had taken residence there, under Glasstaff's orders.

Unlike most goblins, Droop was not a threat to anyone. Instead, he was a coward and would faint anytime he thought about pain or death.

He was rescued by Godon "Blackhand" Lugar, Alaya of Agedon, and Allamir Cromwell during their attack against the Redbrands. The adventurers hid him in Stonehill Inn, before eventually returning him home to Cragmaw Hideout.

Droop wanted to stay with the party and adventure with them, but the adventurers said that it might be better if he stayed with the other goblins instead and practice. For that purpose, Godon crafted for him a black metal mace in the shape of a Bugbear head, for him to practice with.
Ardeep Forest

The **Ardeep Forest** was a relatively small but thick woodland in northwest Faerûn.

In 1490 DR, the inhabitants of the neighboring village of Nightstone, led by Lord Drezlin Nandar from Waterdeep, started making hunting expeditions into the forest. These incursions infuriated the Ardeep Elves. In the following years, the conflict escalated until the elves assaulted Nightstone and killed Drezlin. In the aftermath, his widow, Velrosa Nandar, made peace with the elves and pledged never to make any such expeditions into the forest again.

In 1491 DR, orcs from the Ear Seekers tribe attacked the forest, hoping to take out the wood elves that resided there and take over the forest. However, the wood elves had staged an ambush which ended up in more than half of the orc horde perishing.

**Neverwinter** was a friendly city of craftsmen, who traded extensively via the great merchants of Waterdeep; their water-clocks and multi-hued lamps can be found throughout the Realms. Neverwinter gained its name from the skill of its gardeners, who contrived to keep flowers blooming throughout the months of snow - a practice they continue with pride.

Also known as the **City of Skilled Hands** and the **Jewel of the North**, Neverwinter was a multi-racial city-state sitting on the northwestern Sword Coast of Faerûn. The city was a member in good standing of the Lords' Alliance.
