Phandelver and Below: The Shattered Obelisk (Part 3b Ruins of Thundertree)

Congratulations on surviving your first dragon encounter! Did you talk your way out or perhaps you thought steel was the better option. Whichever you choose, may decide your fate in the future to come. Your players will now find themselves in Thundertree, where an evil dragon resides, an enemy of Torhaem and perhaps all of Phandalin. Here your players may learn the path to Cragmaw and possibly even be brave...or foolish enough to take on this evil scourge. Alas, this is no easy encounter and if the players didn't help Torhaem then their lives may be at risk. However this plays out, it's sure to be an epic encounter, and should death befall your players they may just have one more chance. 

Differences between my LMOP Prep and PaB:TSO Prep

• Reduced enemies in area 2
• Increased loot in area 2
• Increased Zombies in The Brown House (area 3)
• Removed Ash Zombies special ability
• Updated Reidoth
• Increased Twig Blights in area 5
• Updated Ruined Storage section
• Did not add Needle Blights
• Did not increase Ash Zombies in area 8
• Did not adjust dragon flee trigger (are they trying to kill everyone!?)
