[QUOTE="Angelo Pantano, post: 6970064, member: 6867767"] Sorry if I resurrect an old thread, but I am playing LMoP and I got into a big problem for the location of the Wave Echo Cave revealed prematurely by mistake so I searched the web for an errata and I found this post and I noticed this bit is still wrong: So where is the error here? The error is that the bugbears know where Castle Cragmaw is, not Wave Echo Cave. It's probably just a word typo, but it screws the whole adventure because the PCs are supposed to go to Castle Cragmaw in chapter 3, not bypass it and go directly to chapter 4. At the end of Chapter 2 they are supposed to be lvl3 so if the bugbear reveal the location of the Cave they would face CR of 4+ when being 3lvl. You may think this is done on purpose and that PCs should be pushed to do the sidequests first to gain more power, but the reason why this is wrong is also logic. The location of the cave is a secret only known by the Black Spider (thanks to Sildar's map) and by the Rockseekers. There is no chance common bugbears would know the location of the cave or that the Black Spider would have told them this bit. I really think it would be worth to make an official errata out of this because this is a great adventure, but it's riddled with typos and contradictory information. Fixing this bit would be most important to avoid that other DMs get screwed. [/QUOTE]
