Starter adventure · Levels 1–5
Lost Mine of Phandelver
The classic starter adventure: goblins, a frontier town and a lost dwarven mine.
What it’s about
Centuries ago, dwarves, gnomes and human wizards shared Wave Echo Cave, a rich mine that held the magical Forge of Spells, until an orc invasion buried it. Now the Rockseeker brothers have found it again. The party is hired by Gundren Rockseeker to haul supplies to Phandalin — and walks straight into a goblin ambush. Behind the goblins, the Redbrand thugs and the other trouble in the region is a mysterious figure called the Black Spider, who wants the mine for themselves.
How it plays
