The Shattered Obelisk (Can you Survive?)

About the adventure

Nestled between the untamed Neverwinter Wood and the rugged Sword Mountains, the town of Phandalin is a place of both promise and peril. Once a prosperous settlement, it fell to ruin after being overrun by bandits, left abandoned for centuries. But now, a new group of settlers has risen to reclaim this forgotten town, determined to build a thriving community on its ancient foundations. Do you have what it takes to defend Phandalin and uncover the dark secret that could decide its fate? Phandalin’s rebirth is driven by hope, hard work, and camaraderie. Farmers, merchants, and craftsmen are united in their efforts to build a better life. The town is growing, but not without resistance. Bandits, brigands, and lurking monsters threaten to destroy what the settlers have built, and the town desperately needs heroes to stand in its defense. Unbeknownst to the settlers, a far more sinister danger hides beneath the surface. In the depths below Phandalin, three mind flayer fanatics serve the will of Ilvaash, a powerful entity from the Far Realm. These fanatics are silently laying the groundwork for an empire of mind flayers, with Phandalin as the capital of a new dominion that will spread across Toril. If their plan succeeds, the town’s hard-earned future will be twisted into a nightmarish reign of terror. Will you and your party rise to the challenge? You’ll need to protect the town from immediate threats while unraveling the mysteries hidden in Phandalin’s depths. As you dig deeper, you will uncover a conspiracy far greater than anyone imagined, and every choice you make could shape the fate of this once-abandoned town. Will you defend Phandalin, or will it fall into the hands of those who wish to control it for darker purposes? This is a level 1-12 adventure!
