→In my opinion, the only thing Tomb of Annihilation lacks is a solid, easy-to-run foundational adventure that brings new first-level characters into the story smoothly and with a sense of direction and urgency. The background plot is certainly urgent, but there is no single thread a busy DM with no time to prepare introductory sessions can use to get the campaign started. Temple of Elemental Evil was all the richer thanks to the village of Hommlet and the ruined moathouse. Lost Mines of Phandelver benefited greatly by having a seminal opening lair like the Cragmaw Hideout goblin lair.

→Wizards of the Coast's new adventure and campaign sourcebook, Tomb of Annihilation, is destined to be remembered as a classic D&D offering. The book contains all the hallmarks of a memorable campaign. Epic and creative plot? Check. World-shaking consequences? Check. Dangerous settings? Most definitely. Memorable NPCs? Check. Diabolical villains? Oh yes! What else could a DM want?

→Treasure. Most of the dwarves’ possessions were burned or melted by dragon fire, but one skeleton wears a mithral breastplate that survived the flames.

→Six specters haunt the forge, three in each chamber. They are all that’s left of the mine’s dwarven defenders. The first character to enter either chamber is attacked by the specters in that chamber, and those from the adjoining chamber arrive 2 rounds later. The specters can't leave the forge.

→This was the dwarves’ forge and workshop. Many of the miners retreated here when Tinder attacked, but the dragon incinerated their barricades and then burned them out with her breath. The entire area from the bottom of the steps to the backs of the chambers is scorched and black. A dozen or more (it's difficult to sort them out) charred skeletons litter the chambers. One dwarf skeleton is more recent than the others (the body has been dead for three years) and not charred; it lies near the base of the steps, in a face-down, head-down position that implies the dwarf died while scrambling down the steps. This was a member of Hew Hackin-stone’s expedition who fell victim to the haunted forge.

→This hellish, smoky sea of black volcanic rock is traced with streams of lava. The Land of Ash and Smoke is a playground for firenewts and for Tzindelor, a young red dragon (see “Wyrmheart Mine," page 85), who likes to bathe in the lava streams. This gray, barren valley is typically 20 to 40 degrees hotter than anywhere else in Chult. It receives only a fraction of the rain that falls on the rest of the peninsula, and what rain does fall rapidly evaporates in the punishing heat. Several expeditions have tried to explore the area, but most of what’s known about it (and shown on Syndra Silvane’s map) is based on visual observations made from atop the coastal mountains.
