The Four Pillars of Waterdeep (Dragon Heist and Dungeon of the Mad Mage rebalanced and reimagined)

Dungeons & Dragons 5e on Discord, Fantasy Grounds

About the adventure

HOOK: Famed explorer Volothamp Geddarm needs you to complete a simple quest. But what starts out as simple heist quickly spirals out of control once the Fireballs start flying. Thus begins a mad romp through the wards of Waterdeep as you uncover a villainous plot involving some of the city’s most influential figures and discover the sinister secrets behind Halaster Blackcloak and his Realm of the Mad Mage. GAME INFO: The Four Pillars of Waterdeep combines a two part adventure into a singular level 1-20 campaign that blends all aspects of both modules. Starting off with Dragon Heist, the adventure will take players all over the city of Waterdeep: a city filled with secrets, plans and criminal gangs. This will eventually lead the players into the remake of Dungeon of the Mad Mage once they complete most (if not all of) Dragon Heist. With the combining of two modules, there is a lot of rebalancing and adjustments that need to be made. This includes but is not limited to: -More fair combat encounters -Story changes so that the main villain the players enjoy from Dragon Heist has a much bigger impact in Mad Mage. -Addition of content from Journeys Through the Radiant Citadel and Spelljammer that transforms Dungeon of the Mad Mage into planar hopping adventure through space and the Upper Planes. -A much deeper focus on what makes Dragon Heist such a good module: Heists and the villains -and much more. So stop by the Yawning Portal, crack open an ale of Shadowdark ale, and let Volothamp Geddarm sweet talk you and your friends into changing Waterdeep and all of Faerun forever.

How will character creation work

Character creation can be done on D&D Beyond or in Fantasy Grounds. Waterdeep is a massive city, so city based races and classes are encouraged. This is also a level 1-20 campaign so a character leveling plan is highly recommended.
