The bandits may or may not turn out to be water cultists, and the encounter will end with the Skyrider attack. I like to start things off with a little action, so we will jump right into an interpretation of вЂњ The Long RoadвЂќ while delivering the Platinum shipment, before getting to Red Larch.

Decide which introductory missions will be played.

When they fail to arrive, we instigate the main adventure. Whichever Delegation member gets friendly enough with the Bard will state his plans to be in Red Larch by the time the band plays their booked show.

Since the lead singer of the partyвЂ™s band is the Dwarven Bard, Crotch Dynamite, theyвЂ™ll inevitably hit it off and spend an evening in the tavern trading stories.

I plan on foreshadowing the Mirabar Delegation by having the party run into them on their way to Red Larch.

Halia Thorton, the band managerвЂ™s Zhentarim contact (in this setting, the Zhentarim double asВ the music industry ) has set up a show in Triboar (they will have to double back after selling the platinum in Yartar),В while Tinder has bookedВ a show in Red Larch shortly thereafter. They have gotten as successful as they can in the small town of Phandalin, Tinder claims bards have begun to sing their songsВ in taverns across the region,В and it is time to take the show on the road. The road to Yartar is said to be plagued by bandits (the first caravan needs a strongВ escort to вЂњclear the wayвЂќ for future caravans).

Platinum is selling high in Yartar according to TinderвЂ™s letter,В and the mine has produced enough platinum to send a full shipment.Tinder (my Gnome Ranger), Sister Ghalaele, and the Druid Reidoth have been gone for about six months, when a letter from Tinder arrives (see #8 below), instigating hooks 2 and 3. Sister Ghalaele has asked the one Harper character (My PC) to accompany her to Red Larch (this explains the Forrest Gnome RangerвЂ™s absence from the party and gives the characters a tie to Red Larch).I will be using two adventure hooks from the list of suggestions in the module specifically written for parties following up LMOP, as well as one of my own Time has advanced between modules, close to a year in fact, and in that time the adventurers have started to get bored with town life and the responsibilities of running a mine/concert venue. They also have an interest in the mine, which now doubles as a concert venue. The party is a musical group who have become the local heroes and favorite band inВ Phandelver and moved into Tressendor Manor after ousting the Redbrands. I was a player for LMoP, and will take over as DM for PotA so the current DM can have a turn playing his Rogue), which means the introductory quests are unnecessary. The adventuring party will be playing this module immediately after running The Lost Mine of Phandelver. and of, of course, the most helpful (even if it just puts the beginning of the campaign into perspective) POWERSCORE REVIEW.As I mentioned, the internet has quite a few resources out there to make things easier (mainly to save me from having to flip through the book to find crucial information, all of which is scattered aboutВ in a not-so-intuitive manner).

This should be enough for the first two or three sessions at least, and I have enough knowledge of the rest incase the players decide toВ take anВ unexpectedВ turn, or plow through all 3 levels of the first dungeon (kinda hope they try, thereвЂ™s a freaking Wyvern rider). I read the entire book first, then spent the past week familiarizing myself with The Dessarin Valley, Red Larch, and the 4 Haunted Keeps. This module comes with a lot of material. ItвЂ™s been out for some time now, so the internet has had a chance to generate some good reviews, walkthroughs, and resources for running the campaign.
