The adventurers put their feet in the stirrups and are lowered down. Getting Lowered Down: There is a large winch-and-pulley contraption that controls a thick rope with stirrups. Durnan will not let people up if they don't pay. They will also be charged 1 gp each to come out.
Entrance Fee: The heroes will be charged 1 gp each to be lowered into the well. He was one of the first people to explore Undermountain and survive. Immortal Owner: The bartender/owner is a retired adventurer named Durnan who has lived for hundreds of years. The well leads to the legendary dungeon of Undermountain. Dungeon Entrance: This inn contains a 40-foot wide well with a low wall inside the main tavern. It looks like they haven't updated it to the newer editions, but it gives you a nice starting point.Įssential Information: There's a few main details to know: The Forgotten Realms Wiki has a very nice summary of the details in the Yawning Portal. There is a great, detailed Yawning Portal page from 3rd edition right here.Īnd then there's really great, official flavor for going down the well and graffiti you might find down there right here. The book starts off with a few pages about the tavern known as The Yawning Portal. (page 5) Introduction - The Yawning Portal Went insane, animated some tables and skeletons, and he summoned a TheĬharacter won't know this part: When the orcs attacked, Arundil was aĬoward and teleported away. Arundil (page 54) a mage who created a lot of animated objects. Borgl the Old, Gharin Orc-Doom, Numik the Unlucky (pg 47). Wherever you want if you want to link them to the group somehow.ĭwarven Descendent: (Forge of Fury) A dwarf character might want to say they are a descendant of Durgeddin or another dwarf who lived in Khudrukar before the orc wiped them out. They're from a town near Blasingdell, but you could say they're from Prisoners/Friends: In the Forge of Fury, there are two captives, Geradil and Courana on page 39-40. I’ll add to this list as we go through the book.ĭownshadow: (Sunless Citadel) The character lived or grew up in the poverty-stricken shanty town of Downshadow, a community of vagabonds actually located in Undermountain. Linking characters to things in the adventures can get the players more into it. There is a lot of wackiness and puzzle-solving, which is a lot of fun. There's not a lot of roleplaying and social interaction. That way, your group can stay at the Yawning Portal and we can make a whole campaign out of this.ĭungeon Crawl-y: Just keep in mind that most of these adventures are dungeon crawls. Undermountain: It might be fun to try to place these adventures in Undermountain, the mega-dungeon connected to the Yawning Portal. 
It might take a bit of work, but we can make that happen. This is a collection of classic D&D adventures updated to 5th edition rules. Unlike the other adventure books, this one doesn't have a single, long story line. It says: "Only high level characters stand a chance of surviving." It doesn't give a level for Tomb of Horrors.
This is the level each character should be when they start the adventure. This handout by DM David clarifies it really well. Warrens of the Stone Giant Thane - This is a 4th edition adventure by Chris Perkins that adds an adventure featuring stone giants into Against the Giants.ĭead in Thay Player Handout - The setup for Dead in Thay is confusing. Walkthrough Maps (gives you a sense of the whole adventure in a glance) Mike Schley has his awesome 4th edition Against the Giants maps here - these are not exactly the same! There are some changes, so be careful.
