D&D 5E Advent's Amazing Advice: The Lost Mine of Phandelver, A module fully prepped and ready to go! Part 2a Phandalin

[Advent's Amazing Advice]

Welcome Back to Advent's Amazing Advice! Last we left off our group of adventurers had begun their journey and found themselves in Cragmaw Cave. After the successful defeat of Klarg we begin Part 2 where the party will finally arrive in the town of Phandalin. If you've been using my notes for this, along with previous adventures, you'll notice that this is a slight change of pace. Since your players will be going to the town itself, it's far less linear which means the notes need to reflect that. I highly recommend either printing the town map for your players, sending it to them online, or even getting the map that comes with the essentials kit. (You can have one of the shop keepers give the players the map)

Each location has a description along with what's happening when the players arrive. They'll be able to gather clues for what they should do next. The options currently available would be:

• Taking out the Redbrand hideout (Best option)
• Helping someone with a small side quest(Short Sidequest)
• Heading to Thundertree to find Reidoth (could lead to a TPK)

I removed a couple of options because they had absolutely nothing to do with the story and are drawn out side quests. Instead in future sessions, I'll be including a full adventure that will integrate with the story at large and give proper motivations for Venomfang and The Black Spider! I've tested it myself and my players loved it!

Without further adieu:

• Google Docs Notes Part 2a Phandalin: DM Notes
• Google Drive Link to: The Complete Collection

Included in The Complete Collection is:

• A word document with all my notes including a link to music tracks for ambiance and fights
• Special PDF for the Redbrand encounter. This includes the enemies stat block organized neatly along with an initiative tracker and a spot to mark HP.
• A map of Phandalin. If you purchase the Essentials Kit you can get a nice map to handout to your players too!

I hope this helps! If you have any advice how I can improve this further please let me know either here or leave a comment on the google doc itself!

Cheers,
Advent
