The Lost Mine of Phandelver (Part 2a Phandalin)

Congratulations on completing Part 1 of The Lost Mine of Phandelver! In Part 2, your party will find themselves 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, meaning 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 shopkeepers 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 were drawn-out side quests. Instead, in future sessions, I'll be including a full One-Shot 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 ado:

• Link to: The AAA Collection

• Link to: Phandalin Playlist

• (Heroes + Legends) Link to: Parts 1-5 Compilation

Included in The AAA Collection are:

• Downloadable copy of DM Notes, including links to music tracks for ambiance and fights

• (New) DM Notes for the Visually Impaired

• Special PDFs for all the encounters. This includes all the enemy's stat blocks organized neatly, 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 hand out to your players, too!
