170788-Leilon - The Noble Reception L1

Leilon: A Noble Reception
A Ruins of Leilon Adventure
Introduction: This is the 15th follow-up adventure to the module Leilon: City of Adventure, which
provides an overview to the ruined town destroyed by the Spellplague over 100 years ago, as well as
the exploration of the city now that the effects of the Sundering have made the place habitable once
again. This adventure is designed for 1st level PCs and can be played as the beginning to a new
campaign. Freshly arriving in the fort of Durgin’s Hold, the PCs arrive shortly before a group of
nobles are expected from the City of Waterdeep. What is Durgin going to serve at the banquet? This
may provide a chance for fresh PCs to prove useful. Surviving first level leads to dealing with the
kobold shaman and the skeleton threat in the region.
