Storm King's Thunder is a Dungeons & Dragons adventure campaign for 5th Edition, published by Wizards of the Coast, and is officially available on the Roll20 Marketplace.

Overview

Giants have emerged from their strongholds to threaten civilization as never before. Hill giants are stealing all the grain and livestock they can while stone giants have been scouring settlements that have been around forever. Fire giants are press-ganging the smallfolk into the desert, while frost giant longships have been pillaging along the Sword Coast. Even the elusive cloud giants have been witnessed, their wondrous floating cities appearing above Waterdeep and Baldur’s Gate. Where is the storm giant King Hekaton, who is tasked with keeping order among the giants?

The humans, dwarves, elves, and other small folk of the Sword Coast will be crushed underfoot from the onslaught of these giant foes. The only chance at survival is for the small folk to work together to investigate this invasion and harness the power of rune magic, the giants’ weapon against their ancient enemy the dragons. The only way the people of Faerun can restore order is to use the giants’ own power against them. This adventure for characters level 1 - 11+.

November 16th, 2016 - Patch 1.5

Map Edits

Bryn Shander

• Moved the Special NPC tokens to the GM Layer so as not to spoil the players.

Goldenfields

• Moved the Special NPC tokens to the GM Layer so as not to spoil the players.

Triboar

• Moved the Special NPC tokens to the GM Layer so as not to spoil the players.

Grudd Haug Lower Level

Ironslag Upper

• The NPCs in Area 17 have been repositioned to be standing on the Gantry and not floating in mid-air over Area 34

Lyn Armaal Level 1

• In Area 8, NPC Felgolos is at full health. This NPC is suppose to be injured so its HP has been lowered to 160.

Monster/NPC Edits

• Remorhaz's Bite attack was missing its additional 3d6 fire damage. This has been corrected.
• Black Pudding's Pseudopod attack was missing its additional 4d8 acid damage. This has been corrected.
• NPC Othovir's spell Blade Ward was using content from the spell Blade Barrier. This has been corrected.

Handout Edits

• There was a typo with the "Lost Mines of Phandelver" handout under the "Linked Adventures" folder. The entry should have been titled "Lost Mine of Phandelver".
• “Lyn Armaal Level 3-6” dungeon guide handout under “Castle 9: Castle of the Cloud Giants” folder has its treasure in Area 19 correctly linked to the “Banner of the Krig Rune” handout.
• Removed “Handout: Hill Giant Attacks” as it’s a duplication of “Handout: Hill Giants Attack”
• The “Wymskull Throne” Handout under the “Magic Items” had most of its Bio shifted to the GM section as a GM may want to hide some of the features of this magical artifact.
• Removed “Handout: Golden Goose Coin”, because it was duplicated elsewhere in the Journal.
• We’ve gone through all the handouts and linked up most of the Scenes & Locations images handouts to their related Adventure handouts. For example: The picture “Handout: Hill Giants Attack” has been linked to both “Attack on Goldenfields” handout and “Intro to Chapter 5” handout.

Other

• Both Rollable Tables that come with this adventure are now disabled from having Players roll from it and effectively hiding a potential spoiler.
