The Blackcloak’s Call

Undermountain, Expedition to Undermountain

Levels 1-10

The adventure begins with the hero receiving a call to action, such as a threat to the peace of the community, or the hero simply falls into or blunders into it. The call is often announced to the hero by another character who acts as a “herald”. The herald, often represented as dark or terrifying and judged evil by the world, may call the character to adventure simply by the crisis of his appearance.

A mysterious earthquake shakes Waterdeep, and adventurers flock to the Yawning Portal Inn, driven by visions and dreams of Undermountain and its mad archmage, Halaster Blackcloak.
