I ran this online and it was a great oneshot - good example of an adventure for a smallish group. The map addon pack on dmsguild is handy as well.

We've now encountered the Spider - Groblets - which was an epic battle. With the height Groblets can fight from, regen and such a high AC its unlikely to fare well for any party. To cut things short I had Grobblets shift attention to two wounded PCs awaiting the main group further below in the...
I added a random encounter as the party made thier way from Ciceros (or the crooked house):
As you move through the city you see two grubby Children clapping hands together in time to a childrens rhyme:
"Grobbly Wobbly spider climned up the water spout,
Down came the rain and washed poor Grobbly...
The thread - along the lines of many that arr tailered for DMs - is for discussion of running, modifying, interpreting or clarfication of the CITY of EYES tier 4 ravenloft adventure by Oliver Clegg (Darkshire). Available in PDF and Foundry from DMSguild:
city of eyes 2.3 PDF
there are more great parts of chapter 1 and 2 that can be played in a single level through unless you significantly slow down advancement:
standouts for me were:
<get to level 4>
dark duchess
black cabin
id ascendant, althorugh Id get swap the ceremorphs for real mind flayers
lost tower of...
Agreed! its in the initial quest but is more of a long-mid term goal for tier ones.
3rd level is fine - as is 2nd if you have a larger or min/maxed party. our party encounter is available at about 3hours into this youtube clip. I tried all the tricks with misty step and interposed roughnecks...

I have a soul knife in the party I dm and we knew knack was going to be a problem. A lot of the prior discussion revolves around using it to discover whether a threat exists. I am grappling with opposed checks here. A stealth roll sets dc for other to find them. Or conversely passive sets a...
i beg to differ - try solace of silence or the city of eyes both high ranked horror published adventures. The official stuff cant delve too far past pg13 due to target audience
Hi All, I am focusing on areas for the group where I have made specific deviations from the book as written for consideration.
We just played session 4 and did the Bryn Shander quest, and general introduction to ten towns and icewind dale life.
points of differentiation:
I replaced the veteran...
I've seen a couple of queries lately regarding chapter 3 lately and while there has been a bit of responses her from DMs I have recently compelted the hard cover and recorded my take including how you can turn the railroad into a sandbox very easily and the path we chose.

I started Rime of the frost maiden two weeks ago by using the DNDbeyond encounter of the week ad a means of bringing a disparate group together and leading them north. They all have their secrets as another reason to go there as well.
While i was running Descent into Avernus I was listening to...
