Hello, I just bought this in a bundle and am getting ready to run a couple of one shots for my group than maybe add some of these in a homebrew. The adventure looks great and the ongoing dragon villain idea is a good idea.
The only thing that I am a little concerned about is the loot. Your adventures really look like a lot of fun I will make sure to leave a rating after I run a couple. B July 31, am UTC. You are right - I put a bit too much loot in those early adventures. I'd nerf it a bit. We did the whole shebang in 5 hours, and everyone loved the twist at the end. I actually dropped the entire 2nd floor and added more goblin attacks to keep things moving.
Lots of fun! We played this last week and had a blast! Both myself and my adventurers are very new to DnD and this has been a great introduction. The party let an angry Skwelch escape and he might become a steady bad guy.
We all had a blast! Hello - reading through the adventure, I must say I'm very impressed! Sounds like a ton of fun and can't wait to play through it. I am gonna use it to introduce two new players to DnD. I am also new to DMing and was wondering how to scale it for a party of only two. Should I make them higher level or tone down the monsters? Do you have any advice. Thank you for making this nice adventure and at such a good price. B November 13, am UTC.
Oh, I like that idea, but more work on my part though. You think it would be viable to just bump them up to level 3? It's really not much work. In fact, I'll do it for you now. Well, thank you, great! When I said more work, I was thinking RP-wise though. They need some personalities and there will be more dialogue and such. What I'm worried is, that it will drag the adventure out. Currently running this for my party and they are loving it. However, the group has a paranoid rogue, who decided to make a pile of books study and burn them after seeing the one on the desk well they forgot to put the fire out haha.
Bought this as part of the Tales of the North package, and it looks really great - I just have a couple of questions. First off, did this module come with any maps? Because all I got was a diagram of the tower at the end of the pdf.
Neither of the other 2 modules in this packet came with any maps, by the way. Also, in the beginning, the tower is described as having 6 sides, but the diagrams of the tower clearly show 8. Was this intentional? Great work overall though! Love this. B October 17, pm UTC. Hi Kara, the only map is the one at the end of the PDF. Good catch on the 6-sided tower - that was a mistake on my part!
I'll have to correct in errata. I can't leave a proper review as I purchased this adventure as part of the excellent "Complete Adventures of M.
We really enjoyed the adventure; the combat encounters were varied and very well-balanced for four level 1 PCs. After running afoul of the tower's many magical hazards, players were scared of the locked diary and opted to take it away with them instead of opening it on-site; should be amusing later. Skwelch the goblin was very well-received. Our playing time for the adventure was about 4. I did opt to omit the wererat encounter and simplify the constable encounter in the interests of getting on to the tower, which I knew would hold more interest for my players.
Definitely recommended. Tyler L. All three groups loved the module, great amount of combat, and problem solving, I took some of my own personal liberties at the [ Victor R.
My party really enjoyed this adventure. The inciting incident can easily be tweaked and reskinned to fit any campaign setting. Cian D.

Great short adventure. Fun, funny, and a boss fight that could be a TPK or a walk in the park with nudges in the desired direction. Jason G. What a fun packed adventure! Quick story start with a memorable NPC. Explore a wizard's tower with something interesting in each room.

Wild Beyond the Witchlight. They managed to kill the dragon, but most of the tribe were also killed in the process. But things soon turned sour. Skwelch thought he deserved a bigger share of the You have taken only a few steps down the dragon gold because he did the initial Long Road when you are approached by a scouting.
Glubnose disagreed. They fought, young woman. She is wearing a glistening and Skwelch barely managed to escape with his life. The party will need to persuade her to let Skwelch leave, or otherwise trick her in some way.

If they decide to follow the lock-up and keep him there overnight. The magistrate will chide Ana, saying that being a goblin is not a crime.
Skwelch will then be released. Attacking the Constable Attacking Ana is a bad idea. Although she is young, Ana has a long history of adventuring and has the stats of a veteran.
There are also a number of retired adventurers in the village who help keep the peace. If Ana is attacked, she will be joined by another veteran every two rounds until there are five in total fighting. If the party somehow survive, an archmage from nearby Ivy Mansion will appear, complain about the noise, and turn the party into rabbits.

The man is trapped, but is otherwise uninjured. Two or three PCs can easily lift off These three boars are ordinary animals — they the trunk if they choose. Skwelch will advise them to either leave him or eat him. If skinned and cooked, they taste superb. He has no idea where he is or how he got there — his last memory was of going to bed in his home at Neverwinter. Poor Jai is actually a wererat, but he is unaware of his condition.
Five nights ago he transformed in Neverwinter and then off into the woods. A chance lightning strike saw a tree fall on him a day ago, and he transformed back. If the party free Jai and keep him with them, he will transform again around midnight.
In his rat form he is more than a match for the party. If attacked he will fight back, but will flee after receiving 5 points of damage.

I do not understand how one can fight and take detailed notes of hundreds of minutiae. In fact, it is a fulltime job to note all these details even if only watching others fight.

I am tired peeps QQing that Nwo has no mechanics. Its a welcoming change! WoW trials are normally done by the most experienced guilds for several months. Its nice to see some of that concept here…. Could you also possibly tell me if deflection severity cause it is no longer on the character sheet is still working in the game notably on foe hammers favor elixir..

I really like the way you have implemented guides on your site. I agree with you, everyone needs to take responsibility for themselves by reading, preparing and practicing. I also agree that people should be practicing for this trial on preview even after MOD 17 goes live.
It just makes more sense to practice and learn on preview where people can try out new gear and builds without the costs associated. Chris, one way to keep this trail from becoming elitist or exp only is to make your own groups and not require experience or … Read more ».
Unfortunately, I do see this trial ending up being very elitist, especially at initial access as people making runs will only want exp players on their runs.
This is up to the players to group. Get your guild, friends, alliance, whoever and group up or join if they group up. Whether it is on live or preview, also preview is free in terms of consumables and gear upgrades and allows people to adjust their char to see what works for them.
