Summary
[edit | edit source]The inhabitants of Phandalin, a village on the Sword Coast in the Forgotten Realms, are threatened by a secret cult that intends to abduct them and turn them into mind flayers.
Reception
[edit | edit source]A review for Comic Book Resources praised the adventure for its pacing in introducing players to the setting and to horror themes, as well as for its dungeon crawls and artwork.[1]
A review for Wargamer praised the adventure for its atmosphere and detail, its creative choices that avoid stereotypical plot points and for creating memorable characters. However, it criticized the written help for running the adventure as inconsistent and how the adventure abruptly transitions from a beginner-friendly adventure to a horror-themed game.[2]
