Lost Mines of Phandelver/ Storm King's Thunder

About the adventure

This campaign will cover two published modules: Lost Mines of Phandelver and Storm King's Thunder. Lost Mines will cover levels 1-5 and Storm King's will cover levels 5-11. Lost Mines is a starter adventure aimed heavily at players new to D&D, and has everything one could expect in a classic fantasy campaign. Storm King's Thunder tells a tale of deceit and danger as giants pillage the storm coast, wreaking havoc on the so-called "small folk." Lost Mines of Phandelver: The town of Phandalin, a short trip from the city of Neverwinter, is a frontier settlement built on the back of the Sword Coast, a harsh region ripe with danger. It is said that long ago an ancient mine was lost to time when orcs ravaged the region and destroyed the town of Phandalin. For years folk came to Phandalin in search of fame and fortune, but none found the mine, and eventually, Phandalin was rebuilt. A friend of yours named Gundren Rockseeker has recently made contact with you and asked you to escort a wagon of supplies out of Neverwinter to Phandalin. When you asked him what the supplies were for, his only response was "something big." Storm King's Thunder: Ages ago, giants and dragons waged war across the Savage Frontier. These battles are long forgotten by the human civilizations of today, but ancient relics remain. And now, the land shudders once more with the thunder of giant footsteps. Hill giants raid farms for food and livestock, as stone giants lay waste to settlements in their path. Frost giants plunder coastal towns, as fire giants gather slaves. Cloud giant castles drift across the sky, casting ominous shadows on the cities of the North. In the past, the Storm giants of the ocean maintained a checks and balances on all the other race of giants, but as of late they have been suspiciously silent. It is up to a small group of adventurers to determine the exact nature of the giants and their treachery and put a stop to it, before they lay waste to the entire sword coast. This is a weekly game that will be aimed primarily at beginners but open to all players.
