D&D 5E (2024) Thoughts on The Lost Library Of Lethchauntos?

[Zardnaar]

So we completed this adventure in around 5 hours. Group really enjoyed it lvl 1 and 2.

Nice amount of skill checks and interesting interactions with regret and the summoning.

Ran it mostly as is. Made Myrna a harper and Powel a Zhent. Awarded 2 reknown for the harpers after completing the adventure. Powell survived after surrendering. They told her to scoot.

Seems like a solid starter adventure with a good map, sort of like Cragmaw Hideout from Lost Mine of Phandelver.

It’s one of the adventures I’ll be putting in hooks for in my upcoming sandbox campaign, so I’ll let you know if the players bite it.

I borrowed a few books from there quite a while ago, but then it became lost so I haven't been able to return the books. Now I'm concerned about the late fees, I hope the library stays lost...

Good luck. Fun little adventure.

I was looking at it myself, but wondered if anyone changed the monsters like the options for it suggested. I would likely place it near Phandalin and like the selection of having bulywugs instead of goblins, if I am remembering the options right.

I’ve been playing it solo using Paul Bimler’s Solo Toolbox mechanics for 5e and enjoyed it. I plan to DM it as part of a campaign at some point. I used the notes to change the location to Bladur’s Gate and had two 3rd level characters play through it. I decided that the macguffin was not in this library, only a map for another library in Calimshan. Now my characters have to head south and into the desert to a ruined city with the Zhenatrim, who also have a map, heading for the same goal. Very Raiders of the Lost Ark. one of my characters is a wizard who until recently had spent his career cataloging book at Candlekeep. It was fun having him struggle with wanting to save all the books in the library, rather than just the macguffin.
