#Dragon of Icespire Peak

[deer-with-a-stick]

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

An old Wizard Robe of Billowing, a common magic item found in the Woodland Manse.

“This red wizard robe is adorned with stars and moons, and the sleeves are an unusual checkered pattern. Small, quiet bells adorn the bottom of the robe and the tip of the hood.

While wearing this robe, you can use a bonus action to make it billow dramatically, making the bells jingle sort of menacingly.”

For all who played Dragon of Icespire Peak:

The second party I'm running this with just missed Don Jon Raskin (bc they got arrested after him hiring them for his trip "tomorrow" -- so I had to make him leave without them).

They then walked into Mountain Toe, had a very quick chit-chat with Zeleen, told her that they already killed the Orcs in the Temple of Savras (which is true), immediately stumbled upon the three captive miners, and persuaded+payed Zeleen so she let them go.

It took, like, 15 min total.

...???????

The last party I ran this for found the chamber with the gold, got caught stealing, fought through the Wererats, got Don Jon Raskin killed in the process, ran into the captives, then ran into the miners who were about to attack the Wererats, THEN almost got their cleric eaten by the crawler, and found the map to the temple, and looted the whole damn mine.

It took SEVERAL EVENINGS.

Drew some Dungeons and Dragons NPCs from the basis campaign "Dragon of Icespire Peak" that my players have encountert by now. Harbin Wester is the mayor of the village of Phandalin, he is a useless, opportunistic coward, in short a politician. He is also the questgiver of the campaign. Linene Graywind is the weapons and armour dealer in the village. Elmar Barthen is the Trader of supplies in the village. Ander and Thistle are the assistants of Elmar. Their race and gender and how they look like is not described in the campaign bok, so I decided to describe them as a female halfelf and a very buff halfling. The characters belong to Wizards of the Coast, thisis merely my interpretation of them.

Thoughts on running a combo LMOP & DOIP

Since both Lost Mine of Phandelver and Dragon of Icespire Peak take place in the same region in the Forgotten Realms, it's often recommended to run them together. However, doing so requires (at least in my opinion) some alterations to one or both adventures.

LMOP includes a young green dragon Venomfang in the ruins of Thundertree, while DOIP implies the whole region (including Thundertree) is now the territory of the young white dragon Cryovain, whose lair is in Icespire Hold. At the very least, in my opinion, you need to rid yourself of one of the dragons for combining the modules to make sense.

Option 1: Remove Thundertree

This is probably the easiest of your options. Thundertree is a completely optional dungeon, especially if you're using some of the quests in DOIP to fill out LMOP, so the players will have no trouble obtaining the amount of experience they need to continue the adventure.

The players can either gain the druid's trust another way, or find the locations of Cragmaw Castle or Wave Echo Cave in another way than being guided by the druid.

This also allows you, if you want, to completely drop the plot with the Dendrar family if you wish.

Option 2: Rekey Thundertree and Remove Venomfang

This is the second easiest option in my opinion, as it doesn't involve significantly changing either module, but merely rekeying a side quest dungeon.

To do this, you'll need to remove both Venomfang and the dragon cultists in Thundertree and replace it with something else.

This is the option I've been running with (despite really liking some other more complicated options), and I've put in some different cultists, who are working for a potential down-the-line bad guy. They're purposely trying to keep Thundertree corrupted, and there is a corrupted treant in the area to replace Venomfang.

You could do anything with Thundertree though, especially if you're trying to seed the adventure after the current one for your party.

Option 3: Keep Venomfang as written, remove Cryovain

So this is where you'd have to start re-writing the campaigns. This option prioritizes maintaining the plot as written in LMOP, but rewriting significant portions of DOIP.

If you go this route, you need to know why the orcs are leaving their old territory for the area near Phandalin, especially given the goblinoid activity in the area. The implication in DOIP is that the orcs were living in Icespire Hold, but were pushed out when Cryovain arrived and made it his lair. you could keep this basic concept, but then you'd need to replace what took over Icespire Hold with something or someone else.

This isn't necessarily a bad idea, since as-written, Icespire Hold is a bit of a letdown of a dungeon, but it involves more writing on your part as a DM.

Option 4: Keep Venomfang as your dragon, and also she's behind everything

One of the big complaints about both DOIP and LMOP is that the final bosses are something of a let-down. The Black Spider doesn't get built up nearly enough in LMOP, and isn't a particularly challenging encounter, and while Cryovain can certainly hassle the party long before they arrive in Icespire Hold, the dragon makes up very little of the module.

This rewrite (which I would like to run someday), removes the Black Spider, and Venomfang becomes the mastermind behind the Redbrand/Cragmaw alliance, something quite in-keeping for the typical green dragon.

The orcs could still have been pushed out of Icespire Hold by an unrelated threat, or it could be by a related one, or they could still occupy Icespire Hold, and the Talos cultists we meet in DOIP may also be working for Venomfang.

This version is definitely a bit beyond me as a new DM, but it's probably my favorite resolution to this issue, and to the finales of both LMOP and DOIP being a bit underwhelming as written.

As mentioned last time, most of my art energy is going towards D&D stuff! Scheduling got a little wonky, so I'm unsure about how much of my more polished stuff I'm willing to put here before my players get to it, so in the meantime, have some orcs!
