The Lost Mines Of Phandelver

Story background-

“More than five hundred years ago, clans of Dwarves and Gnomes made an agreement known as the phandelver’s pact, by which they would share a rich mine in a wonderus cavern known as Wave Echo Cave. In addition to its mineral wealth, the mine contained a great magical power. Human spellcasters allied themselves with the Dwarves and Gnomes to channel and bind the energy into a great forge (called The Forge of Spells), where magic items could be crafted. Times were good, and the nearby human town of Phandalin (pronounced fan-duh-lin) prospered as well.

But then disaster struck when Orcs swept through the North and laid waste to all in their path. A powerful force of Orcs reinforced by evil mercenary wizards attacked Wave Echo Cave to seize it’s riches and magic treasures. Human wizards fought alongside their Dwarf and Gnome allies to defend The Forge of Spells, and the ensuing spell battle destroyed much of the cavern. Few survived the cave-ins and tremors, and the location of Wave Echo Cave was lost.

For centuries, rumours of buried riches has attracted treasure seekers and opportunists to the area around Phandalin, but no one has ever succeeded in locating the lost mine. In recent years, people have resettled the area. Phandalin is now a rough and tumble frontier town. More important, the Rockseeker brothers - a trio of Dwarves - have discovered the enterance to Wave Echo Cave, and the intend to reopen the mines.

Unfortunately for the Rockseekers, they are not the only ones interested in Wave Echo Cave. A mysterious villain known as the Black Spider controls a network of Bandit gangs and Goblin tribes in the area, and his agents have followed the Rockseekers to their prize. Now the Black Spider wants Wave Echo Cave for himself, and he is takings steps to make sure no one else knows where it is.

Some more content from the last session of my homebrewy Lost Mines of Phandelver campaign! The Black Spider has put the party into a deep sleep and is raking through everyone's brains for information on how to access the magical Forge within the mines. The web interconnects the players’ sleeping consciousness and, through it, the Spider playing some pretty wicked tricks on them- tempting them to stay asleep by meddling with their memories to make them all ideal and erasing any trauma.

Waking up for the players means facing the truth of the past- something they all must help one another do, lest they risk falling prey to the Spiderrrr :o

Voradras throughout the years, he sure went through a lot.

13 & 25 are during his upbringing in Menzoberranzan, 47 during the campaign I played him in and 52 during/post BG3

The Sword Coast is so fucked. Like the decade of 1490, or gods, just 1492 alone is batshit insane. A random mining town in the middle of nowhere recovers Wave Echo Cave and gets attacked by a dragon, Waterdeep has a street war and another dragon moves in, Candlekeep gets attacked, Elturel gets pulled into Avernus, the Dead Three cultists are acting up, there's a massive plague, and all of Baldur's Gate 3 happens. And then a few years later the Red Wizards of Thay try and murder everyone in Neverwinter

I made this Old Owl well from the "Lost mines of Phandelver" for a group of friends, with whom we all just recently started to play D&D. Paper maps are fine, but playing on actual terrain is a whole different experience! Ok, maybe it's not. Maybe I just enjoy making tiny bushes.

[gotogull]

wow what cool characters, I hope nothing bad happens to them!

Campaign 1

The Lost Mines of Phandelver

Setting background: The Forgotten Realms

The world of the Forgotten Realms is where the story in this adventure takes place.

In the Realms, Knights darethe crypts of the fallen Dwarf kings of Deizoun seeking glory and treasure. Rouges prowl the dark alleyways of teeming cities such as Neverwinter and Baldur’s Gate. Clerics in the service of Gods wield Mace and Spell, questing against the terrifying powers that threaten the land. Wizards plunder the ruins of the fallen Netherese empire, delving into secrets too dark for the light of day. Dragons, Giants, Demons and unimaginable abominations lurk in Dungeons, Caverns, Ruined Cities and the vast places of the world.

On the roads and rivers of the Realms travel Minstrels and Peddlers, Merchants and Gaurds, Soilders, Sailers and Steel-hearted Adventurers carrying tales of strange, glorious, faraway places. Good maps and clear trail can take even an I experienced youth with dreams of glory far across the world. Thousands of restless would-be Heroes from backcountry farmsteads and sleepy villages arrive in Netherwinter and the other great cities every year in search of wealth and renown.

Known roads may be well traveled, but they aren’t necessarily safe. Fell magic, deadly Monsters and cruel local rulers are all perils that you will face when you travel in the Forgotten Realms. Even farms and freeholds within a days walk of a city can fall prey to monsters and no place is safe from the sudden wrath of a Dragon.

The Reiginal map shows just a tiny part of this vast world, in a region called the Sword Coast. This is a region of adventure, where daring souls delve into the wreckage of of ancient strongholds and explore ruins of long lost cultures. Amid a wilderness of jagged, snow-capped peaks, alpine forests, lawlessness and monsters. The Coast holds the greatest Bastions of civilisation, including the coastal city of Netherwinter.

The Meta is Futile might be done with our run of Lost Mine of Phandelver, but I will never be done with this boy. I loved Jasper, and I hope to see more of him someday. The wisest of the party, slayer of Venomfang, and a tiefling that doesn't mind his job as an assassin who wants to prove himself. He is a good boy.

Jasper belongs to @bluebrush09arts

Within the last few sessions of the very first DND campaign I ever ran, the gang is going to be facing off against my homebrew take on the Black Spider. She’s got them caught in her web, where they currently sleep, dreaming of the most ideal version of their lives- where nothing bad ever happened. ✨ The party will have to work together to wake one another up by confronting the truths of their past, what really happened, and face the pain together, so that they can wake up and put the Spider’s evil to rest, saving Phandelver. 🕷️🕸️ I decided to design costumes for the party based on everyone’s past/ home and it was super fun! (First to last: Hernando’s kingdom of Durvshava, Noone’s town of Wrathstand, Pyrus’ home of Toxiros, Ector’s town of Luskan, and Arteus’ demiplane.)

A younger Voradras back during his life in Menzoberranzan. His (made up) House is one of the lesser noble Houses of the city around the late 15th century DR, and he set himself the goal to leave the Underdark pretty early in his life. As a final act of defiance against Lolth and drow values he used his families' ceremonial dagger to cut off his hair on the night he vanished.
