Advent's Amazing Advice

Phandelver and Below: The Shattered Obelisk (Part 4 Wave Echo Cave)

Added 2024-03-10 15:25:04 +0000 UTC

Congratulations on making it to the Finale of Act 1 for Phandelver and Below: The Shattered Obelisk! Our Adventurers have been through quite a bit, from clearing a town of ruffians, raiding a castle, saving Gundren, fighting not one but two dragons, and possibly even befriending one. These Adventurers will need all the skills they've learned up to this point to survive the deadly trials ahead! In this session, the players will brave through Wave Echo Cave, deal with sinister traps, enemies, and more, all coming to an epic confrontation!

Some tweaks that were added to this version over the original were the addition of several puzzles, along with making Mormesk (The Wraith) not just appear out of nowhere, but the entity controlling the undead within. Not only that but because of the increased difficulty of the final boss, there will be the potential for an ally to help the group succeed...if they choose a certain path during their previous adventures. Good Luck to all those who dare face the challenge ahead!
