is a bit room with a giant pit on one side and a giant iron door
on one end of the room.
Treasure Room. A room that is protected by a giant magical
door that can only be opened by a Rockseeker (Gundren).
This leads to a large chamber that is covered in black glass.
Special
Umbra-Staff. The umbrella found with the Red Robe corpse
is a special umbrella that absorbs the wands from dead
wizards to gain their magic. It was created by wizard who
liked to hide their magic in regular looking items.
The Pheonix Fire Gauntlet. A Grand Relic that causes
chaos and destruction when worn.
The Mysterious Static
Whenever Killian or the Black Spider reference the
Bureau of Balance, Pheonix Fire Gauntlet, or the
Grand Relics, the PCs should only hear static. They
will not be albe to comprehend what is being said
until later on in the campaign.
Timeline
1. The PCs encounter Killian who asks if they are there for
the Phoenix Fire Gauntlet (the players only hear static
though). She is confused as to why they are there if not for
the Relic. Killian trust that the PCs are not after the relic,
but releases a construct to slow them down, so that they
don't get in her way. She then runs away while the party
fights the construct.
2. Once the PCs meet the Black Spider, they see Killian
tangled up in spider webs attached to the wall, slightly
conscious. She shouts support to the PCs when they
begin combat with the Black Spider.
OPTIONAL: Have the Black Spider transform into
Gundren for some laughs.
3. Killian is impressed when the PCs defeat the Black
Spider. She then uses a spell to go into the pit to search
for the Relic, but tells the PCs stay there.
4. Gundren talks with the PCs and asks for their help.
Gundren begins to then leads them through the giant iron
door. Behind the iron door is a path then will eventually
lead them to the outside of the Treasure Room. Here the
PCs find the skeleton of a Red Robe with a magical
umbrella - the Umbra-Staff (although it looks like the end
of a cane to the players). Any PCs who attempts to pick it
up must succeed a INT competition with it (+2 for
umbrella). If they fail, they take 1d4 force damage. On a
success, the PC gets to take the umbrella, but upon taking
it, giant bolts of electrcity emerge around the room. The
Red Robed skeleton looks at the PC approvingly before
the skeleton (and the robe) disintegrate.
5. Gundren puts his hand on the door that causes it to open.
As the door is opening, he speaks of his father who was
around when the orcs attacked Wave Echo Cave long ago.
His father knew the end was near, so he hid away all
magical components behind in the Treasure Room. In
order to protect them though, he had to also lock himself
in the room.
6. The PCs walk through a dark corridor leading to the
Treasure Room. Gundren senses that something is not
right once inside the room. In the middle of the room is
the burnt corpse of a dwarvin figure (Gundren's father)
that has The Phoenix Fire Gauntlet worn on a raised fist.
(A PC takes 1d4 fire damage if they attempt to touch the
gauntlet).
7. Gundren is very upset that there are no magical
weapons/items in the room. He begins to get very angry.
8. Killian enters the room, also very angry because she told
the PCs to stay put. Killian warns everyone not to touch
the gauntlet.
9. Gundren begins to get even angrier that Killian (an orc) is
in the room. He wants her dead and fueled by anger,
Gundren is able to put on the Gauntlet.

12. Killian guides the party out of the cave pretty effortlessly.
It is easy to track Gundren since there is a trail of fire and
destruction. After a few miles of traveling, the players
notice that it is leading towards Phandalin. (Killian has a
cart if they want to travel that way).
13. Along the path, The PCs see some charred bodies of what
appear to be orcs. Around the flames and destruction
there is a group of about 5 scavengers in a wagon with a
cage in the back. The cage contains a young orc boy. The
PCs choose whether or not to help and free the young orc
boy [though it is encouraged they should help]. Should
they release the boy, he runs off without saying a word
14. When the PCs arrives at Phandalin, the burned path leads
towards the bar (Inn). People seem to be hiding inside
their homes. Upon reaching the bar, the PCs can hear
Sildar pleading for Gundren to stop. He then runs out of
the bar, dodging fire balls. Sildar advises the party to calm
Gundren down. Right then, Gundren comes out of the bar,
still engulfed in flames. He is on a warpath to destroy orcs.
His voice sounds different, almost as if his voice is fused
with another voice.
15. The PCs must try to calm him down to get him to take off
the gauntlet. The flames surrounding him corresponds to
how angry he’s feeling.
16. If the PCs manage to calm Gundren down, the orc boy Source: http://alexgilbertart.tumblr.com
shoots Gundren from a distance before running away.
Gundren then beomces angered and kills Sildar. Gundren
then turns brighter and brighter. Killian knows what will
happen next and urges the PCs to run and jump into a
well. Once in the well, Gundren explodes.
17. When the PCs emerge, Phandalin is completely destroyed
and engulfed in black glass. PCs can attempt to climb out
of the well (DC 10). At the center of the town is Gundren
in the same condition as his father – burned, with his
gloved fist in the air.
18. Any PC that approaches the gauntlet must make a WIS
competition against the gauntlet. While doing so, they
hear a voice urging them to put on the Gauntlet.
19. Killian is unconscious, but when she wakes up, she
wonders how nobody has put on the relic. She is
impressed that the PCs resisted the thrall of it. She lets
the PCs approach the gauntlet and collect it after they
have beaten the thrall of it.
20. After the gauntlet has been collected, Killian presses a
rune on her bracer. It blinks yellow for a little while until it
finally turns blue. A glass sphere comes down from the
sky and Killian leads the PCs inside.

glowworm)

making them appear as torches, lanterns, or glowing orbs
that hover in the air for the duration. You can also combine
the four lights into one glowing vaguely humanoid form of
Medium size. Whichever form you choose, each light sheds
dim light in a 10-foot radius.
As a bonus action on your turn, you can move the lights up
to 60 feet to a new spot within range. A light must be within

two) and magically influence a creature you can see within
range that can hear and understand you. Creatures that can’t
be charmed are immune to this effect. The suggestion must
be worded in such a manner as to make the course of action
sound reasonable. Asking the creature to stab itself, throw
itself onto a spear, immolate itself, or do some other obviously
harmful act ends the spell.
The target must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed
save, it purses the course of action you described to the best
of its ability. The suggested course of action can continue for
the entire duration. If the suggested activity can be completed
in a shorter time, the spell ends when the subject finishes
what it was asked to do.
