Forge of Phandalin

A Forge of Fury Adventure

Introduction: This adventure is the first in a new campaign that takes place in the Forgotten Realms
Phandalin region. It introduces the area where the campaign takes place and provides clues to get
the PCs from the town to the dungeon, specifically the Forge of Fury adventure found in the
published book, Tales from the Yawning Portal.
This adventure requires the published book to play and includes modification and expansion to make
the module fit into the Phandalin region. This adventure includes items, NPCs, and statblocks
presented in an easy to use, and easy to print format.

Forge of Phandalin
For Characters of Level 1-2
Background
The town of Phandalin was originally destroyed
hundreds of years ago and slowly resettled over the
years as a frontier town serving farmers, miners, and
frontiersmen. Recent news of the discovery and
reopening of Wave Echo Mines have brought a recent
boom to the small settlement. While most of the new
settlers are good, hard-working folk, several have come
to fleece the others of their hard-won gains.
A few years ago, a green dragon was seen and
defeated in the Neverwinter Woods just north of the
town. Over the last couple months, a white dragon has
been seen in the skies over the town and laired in the
mountains just to the south of the town. These activities
have caught the attention of certain members of the

dragon cult, who seek to gain power from dragons and
offer them eternity as dracoliches.
The young black dragon Nightscale has evaded
attention in his abandoned dwarven hold so far. His
home is nestled in the base of the mountains east of the
Mere of Dead Men and west of the Kryptgarten Forest,
where few travelers go. That is about to change.
Much of the supplemental material for this series can
be found in the published box sets; Lost Mine of
Phandelvar and Dragon of Icespire Peak, as well as
DMsGuild modules; Return to Phandalin and Essential
Phandalin. This supplemental material mostly deals with
established NPCs and the expanded town after a few
years of growth from the days of the first box set.
Adventure Setup
This module takes place after the events found in both
of the published box sets. The appearance of dragons in
this region has brought a cell of dragon cultists looking
for the white dragon Cryovain. The adventure opens
with a group of heroes just returning from killing the

white dragon and the town is having a celebration to
them.
The PCs are in town, having just arrived amid the
celebration encounter and witness some of the cultist
killing a man in the alley. The PCs find a map on the man
leading them to the mountains or Wave Echo Mine to
meet Gundren. He is seeking knowledge of the location
of the old smith Durgeddin and is offering 100gp for any
weapons bearing his mark.
At some point the PCs are attacked by the dragon
cultists looking for the map the PCs found and seeking
knowledge to the rumored black dragon. This may lead
the PCs to one of their lairs where they can deal with
most of the cult threat and start the main journey.
The mountain pass is not known to many but the PCs
can negotiate its whereabouts from some local miners or
the woodland scout working for the Zhentarim agent
Halia at the Miner’s Exchange. At the top of the
mountain pass is an old temple that must be passed
through before coming down the other side to the
location of the Stone Tooth.
This module is broken down into a few parts. The first
part introduces Phandalin, the town which acts as the
base for the adventurers. Here they find clues and
supplies for the journey. There are a couple side quests
that PCs can choose to go on to gain some experience
and treasure before setting off on a long expedition. The
second part deals with the journey from Phandalin to
Stone Tooth and covers the mountain pass dungeon. It
ends with the PCs reaching the mountain that starts the
Forge of Fury module found in the published book, Tales
from the Yawning Portal which will be needed to
continue play. Another adventure in this series will aid in
the exploration of the Forge itself.
Part 1: Phandalin
The sleepy mining town has seen a few years of
constant growth and is becoming an established stop for
caravans and brings in adventurers seeking to get rich
and merchants seeking to sell them the goods they need.
This series of adventures uses the Town of Phandalin
section of the box set Lost Mine of Phandelver and the
modified updates of the town found on DMsGuild:
Return to Phandalin and Essential Phandalin.
Read or paraphrase the following once introductions
have been completed for the player characters and

group.

As you enter the wooden gates you see the town
appears to be in the middle of some sort of festival or
celebration. The lone guard Tells you to hurry up, they
killed the dragon and is pointing to a large tent set up in
the middle of the common down the road past several
houses and a few local businesses that have wares laid
out front.
You see the main square ahead with a large tent filled
with dozens of people around a table with several chairs
upon sit an adventuring party. Most everyone is drinking
toasts to the adventurers for killing the dragon whose
head is being passed around the gathered people.
Outside the tent more people gather around carts filled
with foodstuffs and a wagon filled with several kegs of
ale.
The scene is a merry event where the PCs can drink and
eat. In the playtest, the last campaigned ended with the
PCs killing the dragon and this is a good scene for the
new PCs to meet the old ones in a grand send-off. After
some point of speeches and meeting NPCs of the town
you can move onto the dragon cultists encounter that
sets up the campaign.
Town Rumors __
The following is a list of rumors that the PCs can hear
while out and about in the town. Some are things the
PCs can simply follow up on and explore, while others
are things that need to more information and the party
will need to visit one of the NPCs in town. There is also
the quest board outside the Townmaster’s office which
has a few things the PCs may want to look into.
1. Kobolds have been seen among the outlying farms.
They have not caused much too much damage, but
someone should do something. True
2. One of the miners hit a motherlode, but is not telling
where it is. False
3. There is a Zhent spy in town. Nobody knows who, but
everyone has a guess. True
4. The Redbrand gang has not been destroyed and has
been seen around town kidnapping people. False, the
dragon cultists are behind the kidnappings.
5. The white dragon is dead, but there is another dragon
that has been hiding in the region. Everyone has a guess
as to what kind of dragon it is. True
6. The local lords of Tresendar Manor have not been
seen is several weeks and the steward fears the worst.
Unknown, this can be expanded upon if needed by the
DM.

Dragon Cultists in Town
The stories of the white dragon have brought a cell of
cultists looking for it. Their efforts changed once the
stories of the adventurers killing the dragon surfaced.
They found a new lead when they begin to hear stories
about a place called the Stone Tooth to the south and
think that place is where one of the children of the black
dragons found in the Mere of Dead Men may have gone
to hide from its parents.
The cultists tracked the man they were looking for and
dragged him into a side alley away from the celebration
where they kill him to hopefully find the map.
Read the following when the PCs are out and about the
celebration.
The celebration had led to become a parade with
townsfolk leading the head of the dragon around the
square while others hold blankets like wings and chase
after the head. Children run around and play while
adults look on and many clap their hands. However, all is
not as it seems.
You notice a group of men wearing black armor and
cloaks grab a man and drag him into the side alley.
Nobody else seems to notice or appears to care enough
to get involved.
Read the following if the PCs go to investigate.
The side alley leads around back of the house and ends
in a courtyard with wooden slat-fence around it. There
are laundry lines about with a trash barrel and a small
woodpile near the back door of one of the buildings.
You see four men standing around the body of the man
that was dragged into the alley. One appears to be going
through his pocket while another who is wearing a
strange mask and likely is the leader stands off to the
side telling him to hurry up. The last two appear to be
on lookout and move to block you shouting “Turn
around, this does not concern you.”
The cultists will attack unless the PCs turn around and
flee. The dragonwing will spend one round searching the
body before flying over the fence and leaving combat.
The point of him is to introduce a larger bad guy and
leave the other 3 cultists to fight a first level party. Feel
free to have him hand one of the cultist a potion of
healing and say something dramatic such as, “Take this,
Not for resale. Permission granted to print or photocopy this document for personal use only.
__ deal with these interlopers and meet me back at the
house.”
The cultists will fight the best they can and try to stay
near the body since they still have not found the map.
They are fanatical and fight to the death. Do not be
afraid to have the last one take poison to kill himself, or
slit his own throat if the fight is not going great for the
party. He can get a leading line in before killing himself
such as, “The dragon shall rise.”
The PCs are left with a few rounds after the encounter
to figure out what is going on before someone notices
what is going on by coming down the alley or out the
back door of a building. The PCs can search the bodies
and find the map listed in the treasure section along with
a couple of the cultist necklaces shown by the below
image. DMs may need to manage the flow of things in
town and how the PCs react to the situation. See the
next section of the section for dealing with after the
encounter in and about town.
Treasure: The cultists each have 1d10cp and 1d6sp. The
body has 1d10cp and 2d6sp. There is also a hidden
compartment in the heel of his boot that can be found
after a couple rounds of searching him, or have the PCs
make an Intelligence check (Investigation DC10) to
locate it. Inside is a map of the region and a note on a
scrap of paper, both found in the handouts section of the
module.
Dragon Cultists each have a pendant like
this with small gems in the middle, one for
each color dragon.

encounter. They may go to the authorities to report the
death. You can have one of the guards that reports to
the Townmaster come by and take some notes, but
nothing big will happen. Perhaps have the guard find the

Gungren is old and a bit faded. It is pinned under a few
other offers of little worth which DMs can create if
needed. The quest is the same as the note the PCs can
find with the map in the initial encounter.
The other quest that stands out is the new quest
Horses for Trade. It does not have much to do with the
main adventure and campaign but will yield the party a
pair of horses and some treasure to help outfit
themselves for the main adventure. They will also gain
2nd level.
DMs can create other quests that their groups may
enjoy, but things are designed to get the PCs interested
in the 100 Gold quest by introducing the map and the
cultist with their hideout. The PCs can gain 2nd level
either way and skip one of the areas if needed as well.
Part 2 of this adventure deals with the PCs finding the
location of the lost mountain trail and an abandoned
temple that straddles the mountain pass where the PCs
can gain enough XP to advance to 3rd level before
reaching the main Forge of Fury module.

Message Board Quests
Listed below are a few of the smaller quests found in
and around the town. Some have message board posts
listed in the end appendix and others are found be
talking with various NPCs around town. DMs are free to
add more missions and side treks for the PCs as they
meet more people around town.
Horses for Trade
A pair of henchmen that hire out with adventuring
groups came into some horses during their last
adventure. They are willing to trade two of them for a
short mission to the old graveyard and retrieve an item
from one of their family crypts. Meeting Shiner at the
tavern can present some roleplay and the group can get
easy directions to the cemetery.
If asked about how they could have family buried in a
grave over 400 years old, he will say that the discovered
records found in the Temple of Knowledge recently
prove that he is the rightful descendant. He will describe
the necklace as having a large blue stone set in mithral
shaped into three dolphins. He does not know if there is
any other treasure buried in the crypt.
The local graveyard is an hour outside of town and
mostly overgrown. It is not used for anyone in town
today and all the crypts are from hundreds of years ago.
Old Cemetery Grounds
The cemetery is not hard to locate and travel there is
not difficult.
Read the following when the PCs enter the cemetery.
Getting to the old cemetery has been easy enough and
now you stand at the main gate. A fence of rusting iron
bars surrounds the area which appears to be roughly
200x200ft. The whole area is overgrown with trees and
grasses with many of the gravestones topples and in
disarray. A few larger structures stand near the middle
of the area.
Looking in, you can see a few skeletons mulling about.
They do not seem organized and appear to be aimlessly
wandering about.
The skeletons will move towards the PCs if they sense
noise of movement in the graveyard. The PCs can shoot
several skeletons from outside the iron fence, but there
should still be the few listed at the center of the
graveyard to challenge the PCs.
The main gate to the graveyard is locked with a simple
lock that can be opened with a Dexterity check (Thieves’
Tools DC12). If the PCs oil the lock, drop to DC10. The
fence can also be climbed over with no check needed.
Perhaps a fallen tree is leaning on one area or a rock on
the outside is large enough to allow jumping over.
The party should not have a hard time to find the crypt.
There are only 4 in the center of the graveyard with 2
having already been broken into and the doors left open.
Another is left sealed and DMs can expand the site to
include more exploration if needed.
Treasure: The skeletons on the outside of the crypt have
no treasure. Their armor and weapons are rusted and
worthless.

door can be forced open with an hour’s work and a
group Strength check (Athletics DC13), with a majority
of PCs succeeding the check. Failing this check should
require another hour of work to succeed, but a group of
skeletons attack the PCs during this time.
Read the following when the PCs enter the crypt.
The main room of the crypt is dark, but the light from
the doorway shows a large X-shaped room with a
20x20ft center and 10ft bump outs on each side. The
large middle area has a mosaic of a set of scales similar
to that used in offices of law and order. In the alcoves to
the side are pedestals that hold rusting suits of armor.
Straight ahead is another stone door leading further into
the crypt. Flanking the door are several urns that are
sealed with colored ribbons and wax.

The kobolds of the dragon cult each have
tattoos like above on their face.
Cult Hideout
The dragon cultists and their kobold allies are staged in
a set of caves not that far out of town. The PCs can
follow the kobold tracks back to the hideout. DMs can
have a PC make a Wisdom check (Survival DC12) to
follow, but it is recommended that they are just obvious
and can be tracked.
1: Outside Entrance
The dragon cult hideout is located roughly 8 miles from
the town and past the outlying farms. The main
entrance is guarded by a pair of kobolds, but they are
not expecting any danger and are not watching that
carefully.
Read the following when the PCs get to within 100ft
and can see the entrance from the woods.
The tracks you have been following lead on for half and
hour before coming to a low set of cliffs. As you
approach to about 100ft, you see an entrance to the cliff
covered with a hanging animal skin. Near the entrance
are a pair of kobolds that may be on guard duty, but are
mostly under a shade blanket shielding their eyes. You
notice a bell on a rope hanging near the entrance.
The kobolds suffer from sunlight sensitivity and hide
from the brightest part of the day. This leaves them at a
disadvantage to be surprised. The PCs can approach
through the light woods and should not have a hard time
dealing with these guards. The kobolds will go for the
bell if any combat starts. It is roughly 20ft from where
they are hiding under the skin.
Treasure: The kobolds each have 1d10cp and 1d6sp.
One of them also has a well-worn set of playing cards.

2: Side Cave __
The side cave holds the kobold scouts and their pets.
Noise in this cave should not alert anyone at the
Crossroads room (#3). The noise from eating and talking
dims fighting here and anyone listening is at
__ disadvantage. If anyone hears something, they will send
only one of the kobolds to check it out.
Read the following when the PCs enter.
The side tunnel leads 30ft to a dim cave roughly
30x40ft with a few odd angles and a dripping of water
into a few buckets along the right wall. The left side
areas contain several bunks for roughly 8 kobolds and in
the far end of the room are a few smaller cages and a
larger pen.
In the room are a pair of kobolds sitting at a crude
table with one cutting up meat strips and tossing a few
at a dog-sized drake walking around the open pen.
Inside two of the cages are giant rats that skitter about.
There is only the one way out of this chamber and the
kobolds will attack along with the drake who is in the
pen, but it is not locked. The rats will need to be
released by one of the kobolds. A kobold can release
both rats with its action. The kobolds will fight, but try
and flee to get allies if able.
There is not much worth investigating in this chamber.
The kobolds have nothing.
Treasure: The kobolds each have 1d10cp and 1d6sp.
There is also a body has 1d10cp and 2d6sp.

Temple Pass
The PCs eventually come to the mountain pass trail
that leads over the mountains. They can be led there by
the ranger-type NPC or by the dwarf excavators. It takes
several hours to wind up the trail to the pass which is a
large fortress temple that fell into ruins. The PCs should
arrive late in the day as the cold wind blows, forcing
them inside to seek shelter.
This is the last section of the adventure before the PCs
get to the Forge of Fury module. There should not be a
terrible difficulty getting through the pass and down to
the dungeon, but enough of a challenge for the PCs to
reach 3rd level.
Originally, the mountain pass was a keep of the Fists of
Light, a clerical order dedicated to Lathander. The order
disappeared once the supplies from Phandalin stopped
coming and eventually they left for Waterdeep. Several
years ago, the troll, Pox Longfinger moved in and now
rules over the pass. He rarely leaves since orcs from the
lowlands bring him food in exchange for passing through
when they need.
1: West Entrance
The mountain trail from the Phandalin side of the
range leads to a partially open door.
Read the following when the PCs approach.
The mountain trail winds its way up to the pass,
eventually ending at a large stone edifice built into the
mountains. The 40ft granite walls blend with the
surrounding mountains near seamlessly. The slate
shingles are covered with moss, but seem to have held
up to the years in good shape. The only features you see
are a large window on the upper floor that overlooks the
vale behind you and a large set of wooden doors that are
bound in iron, which one side sits partially open.
The door area has some tracks from several days ago.
A Wisdom check (Survival DC15) can tell that they are 6 -
7 days old and likely orcs. The tracks both come and go
from the doors. The high window is made from stained
glass and contains dozens of smaller panels, of which
several are missing. The picture on the stained glass
shows a large chalice roughly 10ft high and several feet
wide.
The missing panels of window are too small for PCs to
fit through, unless they are small and squeezing through
would require a Dexterity check (Acrobatics DC14) and
be able to climb the 20ft to the lowest window gaps.
Climbing is a Strength check (Athletics DC12).
Not for resale. Permission granted to print or photocopy this document for personal use only.
2: Main Concourse and Stable __
The main concourse once had several more walls and
doors to contain the heat in colder weather. Today it is
mostly a large hall with several alcoves and hiding areas.
Read the following when the PCs enter.
A wide hall reaches more than 60ft across areas of
rubble and broken wall to another set of large doors, of
which one appears missing. Off to the right there
appears to once been a stable and another room but
much of walls are in ruin and lays in difficult terrain.
Above the stable a large section of the ceiling has fallen
in and through the hole is a large table that forms a ramp
to the above areas. A few crates have been placed here
to help form a crude set of stairs.
Further down on the right is a partial room that
appears to be a smithy and on the left is a fallen wall that
reveals what is likely a kitchen and dining area.
__
The main path through the temple shows more signs of
orc traffic and PCs searching the area can see several
partially eaten apples by the bottom of the ‘ramp’ along
with a broken wicker basket. A few small rats scurry to
hide in the rubble.
3: Smithy __
The smithy still has the large anvil that sits, rusting
away from years of inactivity. A few scraps of metal and
a broken shield are about the room.
PCs searching the room for more than a few minutes
can find a cracked silver dagger (15gp) and an ingot of
adamantine (50gp) hiding under some rubble. It appears
that these were placed here several years ago and
somehow abandoned.
4: Kitchen and Galley __
The soldiers and staff would come here to gather, eat,
and drink.
Read the following when the PCs approach.
A large section of wall has collapsed leaving a large
opening to this room. The larger part is roughly 30x40ft
and appears to be a dining hall with a large hearth, a few
stone tables, and a door leading into the mountain near
the far end of the room.

5: East Entrance
This entrance leads to the other side of the mountains.
One of the doors has been bashed in and is missing. Orc
tracks similar to the ones listed earlier can be found
along with a crude trail leading down the mountain to
the woodlands below.
6: Soldier’s Barracks
The stairs lead to the barracks. Much of the room has
been destroyed over the ages. The separating walls and
bunks are in rubble and only the large stone table
remains.
Treasure: Sitting in the privy are the bones of an
adventurer that died here many years ago. PCs can find
an orc arrow impaled within the chain mail he is wearing.
He has some standard adventuring gear that is now of
poor quality, but has a coin pouch containing 20sp and
20gp.
A large hall roughly 40x60ft spans the length of the
keep and separates the two sides. At each end of the
span large stained-glass windows let in the daylight. The
far left of the room is a stone altar that appears to have
nothing on it and on the opposite end of the room is a
large sleeping area of unmatched matting and piles of
hay, along with several crates and barrels sitting under
the window.
Opposite the large, open area is the hole in the floor
leading to the first level that contains the giant table.
You see an open are beyond the hole leading to another
room that is hidden behind a wall and another, smaller

more items than standard for their level, so I am fine
with the harder encounter. That, and the fact that this is
the last encounter in this location and the PCs can take a
long rest after this encounter.
Treasure: The trolls have some minor treasure. This
includes 50sp, 100cp, and 20gp. There is also a minor
magic item such as a potion or scroll with a spell of level
2-3.

Magic Item __
The following magic item is a modified Horn of Valhalla
and readers of the Drizzt books will notice similarities
with an item in one of those novels. The intent is to have
an item for a small party or a fighter-light party that may
need help in some combats.

Gimbek’s Horn
Wondrous Item, rare
As a Bonus action, you blow the horn to call upon the spirit of
one of King Gimbek’s dwarf champions. The spirit can act on

1d4 days. Stats for the champion are listed below.
Gimbek’s Horn was created for the dwarf king over 1,000 years
ago. It served several dwarf kingdoms and warriors over the
years until it was lost. For the last 300 years, the horn was
thought to be in a dragon hoard or giant’s lair.
