These quests send the party to visit: a dwarven excavation of a temple to Abbathor (as orcs attack), the rock gnome enclave of Gnomengarde (being terrorized by a mimic), and the local midwife at Umbrage Hill (being attacked by a manticore). The initial three quests involve warning the outlying locals about the dragon, and in turn helping them to resolve additional conflicts. Other quests or adventure locations are only hinted at through rumors, and can be integrated into or left out of the campaign as desired.Īdventurers are called on initially not to fight the dragon, but just to help the town of Phandalin protect itself while dealing with other consequences of the dragon's arrival. Players do not need to complete all quests available to them, and more challenging quests become available as easier ones are completed.
However, rather than playing through a narrative, the Essentials Kit provides a blueprint for a sandbox style of play by delivering most quests to the players via a "quest board" managed by Phandalin's townmaster, Harbin Wester. Similar to Lost Mine of Phandelver (the adventure from the Dungeons & Dragons Starter Set), this adventure takes place around the town of Phandalin, and makes use of the same cast of town inhabitants as well as the same basic map of the Sword Coast North. The scenario involves a young white dragon, Cryovain, who has recently arrived in the region from the north (thus setting the adventure as a tentative sequel to the events of Storm King's Thunder) and begun hunting and attacking sites all across the map.
This introductory campaign is designed to take characters from levels 1 to 6. A 64-page booklet containing a basic set of rules for adventurers levels 1–5.
