D&D 5E Free 'Descent into the Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth' Adventure on D&D Beyond

Descent into the Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth is an abridged version of the full adventure, which appears in Quests from the Infinite Staircase. You can access it for free on D&D Beyond.

Deep in the Yatil Mountains lie the Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth, formerly occupied by the legendary archmage Iggwilv the Witch Queen. Though Iggwilv is long gone, her lair is anything but empty. Demons, giants, and other formidable creatures haunt the perilous caverns, and the archmage’s magical defenses remain intact. The rewards for braving these threats defy imagination. Iggwilv is rumored to have amassed a magical hoard of unsurpassed value, a trove of such fame that scores of adventurers have perished in search of it.

Im looking at the D&D beyond page now. The page has links to download the tournament scoring sheet and the pre made characters. I don't see any link for a PDF of the adventure (er, half adventure).

I assumed there would be one because the page says you can play it in local game stores. Where is the link?

Beyond doesn't do PDFs: you would use the Beyond App or web page in the store to run it.

Or you could just print it out.

4 hours to explore 20 rooms. That’s 12 minutes per room. And a lot of fights. Is it really doable?

Plus a high number of monsters for a single session

Spoiler: monsters

9 groups of monsters that attack on sight, plus 3 more that attack if disturbed. Plus 3 potentially friendly roleplay encounters.

To be exact you can download it on the App. The Desktop version remains a webpage like all Beyond stuff.

Is there a separate channel stores use to communicate with WotC about in-game events? @FitzTheRuke?

There's a bit of an error on that cave cricket- I guess we know where the text came from

Oops. I'll fix that!

Nope. They send us an e-mail with some vague instructions, but we usually just pretty much have to wing it. Or at least, if there's more information to be had - I don't know where to find it. I'll let you know if I discover anything.

It probably shouldn't be able to swim either, crickets don't do well in water...

If we are being picky, give it blindsight 60 ft. (blind beyond this radius), and it seems to have lost it's jump trait, which was probably the reason they gave it the frog statblock in the first place! I would let it jump as a bonus action, avoiding attacks of opportunity. I'm not sure about spider climb, I've never seen a cricket hanging upside down.

Maybe make it's attack an acid spit?
