The Demon Mines- Part 2
Background
The mines of Leilon have long been in service providing
many areas of the North with silver, copper, and iron.
The ancient dwarven kingdom of Haunghdannar was the
first to mine these areas, but very little is left untouched
since their time over 4,000 years ago.
In more recent times, the mines provided wealth to the
town and shipments of goods and raw silver were used
up and down the coast. The mines were never as well-
known as some others and the iron was not great for
making weapons and armor, but used in kitchenwares
and building products. Silver is used everywhere and
much ended up minted with the City of Neverwinter seal
upon it.
The town fell during the events of The Spellplague and
for over 100years demons and kuo-toa inhabited the
lower mines under the Mage Hill area of town and has
slowly spread their influence past the town’s borders
and eventually connected the mines in town for the
outer mines at the base of the mountains. The demons
are led by the great demon Roxx, a large nalfeshnee
demon and a few of his lieutenants, which lord over the
lower caste of demons and kuo-toa minions.
This adventure continues the previous module where
the PCs assisted in securing the upper mine areas and
secured the area known as the Crossroads.
Adventure Setup
The mines are clear to the Crossroads section where
the rest of the mine levels can be reached. The other
adventuring groups and the healer group, The Morning
Doves have set up base at the Crossroads over the last 2
days since taking the upper mines. A shipment of new
supplies has arrived at the Crossroads consisting mostly
of food, ale, and torches. The PCs are given food and

drink freely while they are in the mines and fighting the
demons and other monsters.
Read the following when the PCs are rested and having
breakfast in the galley room of the Crossroads.
The last two days since you and the other adventuring
groups secured the upper sections of the mines has been
relative easy. A few minor encounters with some kuo-
toa was the only fighting over the last two days that you
have been resting and fortifying the region. A few
members of the other adventuring groups have been
resting and healing from wounds sustained in the initial
fighting.
The fighter, Conrad, who is with the healers, has been
meeting with scouts that have been exploring areas
down the sloping shaft as well as beyond the giant doors.
Several have reported areas where more demons are
living and hiding as well as several tunnels that lead
further into the deeper sections of the overall mines.
During breakfast Conrad approaches your party and
explains that the scouts have discovered two areas
worth exploring. He wants you to travel down the
sloped hall to the middle mines where the scouts found
an old temple containing several demons and may have
an access to the lower reaches.
The rest of the adventuring groups are to head down
the main tunnel to the furnaces where the bulk of the
demons were coming from in the last fight to secure the
Crossroads. Most of the healers will remain here to
defend this place and assist in collapsing the flooded
tunnels where the kuo-toa have a stronghold. He wants
your group to be close in case they need to back up the
healers or need assistance.
The players and PCs may have other places they wish
to explore or will want to go off on their own. Conrad
and even Dax the leader will try to reason with them into
staying together as a group, but cannot make them stay.
They will use words to express disappointment or say
that Durgin was wrong about them to try and play on
their ego.
Assuming that they accept Conrad’s offer and go to
explore the Old Temple, they will be offered food and
other adventuring gear they may need. They have basic
supplies generally found in the explorer’s pack, such as
rope, torches, and arrows which the PCs can take some
as long as they are not greedy. Another wagon may be

Spores (Recharge ): A 15‐foot‐radius cloud of toxic

around corners. Each creature in that area must make a

While poisoned in this way, a target takes (1d10) poison

repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns,
ending the effect on itself on a success. Emptying a vial
of holy water on the target also ends the effect on it.

vrock's next turn.
What’s Next?
The vrock controlled this section of the mines and his
death frees up the adventuring groups to assault the
lower levels. The next adventure will take the PCs to the
final fight with Roxx himself.
Awarding Experience Points
DMs should award experience based on each encounter
and monsters that were overcome. A story award of
500xp should be given to the party for defeating the
vrock and securing the Old Temple. The next adventure
is planned for level 5 PCs so DMs can award enough XP
to advance that far or carry out other adventures within
the mines to reach that level.

they took some food and extra arrows. I gave them the option
of exploring each room or following the chalk marks to the
main event. They proceeded directly to the first encounter and
managed to defeat them after a rather tough fight. I tended to
th
overestimate the ability of 4 level PCs and needed to lower
the numbers of monsters in room 3 a bit to make the fight a bit
fairer.
In the hall, room 2 the group decided to skip the single door
on the side after being described with several sliding locks.
They came up with ideas of undead or captured prisoners and
worse. They decided to charge into room 3 and attack. They
had surprise and initially killed a few dretch. They were fine
until the troll came out and had several good rolls. The fight
___ was tough for the PCs, but they all managed to come through
and decided to pull back to the Crossroads to rest for an hour.
I had them roll for a random encounter and for any chance of
them being discovered by the leader in room 5, but they rolled
fine and were able to return without being noticed. When they
returned, the y charged into the last encounter and ran into the
___ troll which was less of a threat as the first one was. The party’s
cleric cast protection from evil on the fighter so that the vrock
had disadvantage to hit and the fight ended quickly once the
troll died.
The group still had some fight left in them and went into the
room with the undead, but that was not much of a fight. They
returned to the Crossroads finding some treasure and a couple
magic items.
