The Ruins of Undermountain RU03: The Lanceboard Room and Librarium Environments (5e)
The Ruins of Undermountain - The Lanceboard Room and Librarium Environments are intended as both an introduction and a continued exploration to the Undermountain dungeon crawl¸ converted to 5th Edition Dungeons and Dragons¸ particularly if my PDF¸ The Ruins of Undermountain - The Entry Well and Environments was used as an introduction instead. I've also added The Ruins of Undermountain: The Grim Statue and the Labyrinth Environments to work as a sequel to both adventures¸ as well as The Ruins of Undermountain: The Northern Reaches and Environments and The Ruins of Undermountain: The Western Reaches. These rooms are drawn from official D&D releases that include the original Ruins of Undermountain Box Set ¸ plus some additional rooms that were detailed years later¸ while the rest of the rooms were designed for my own campaign. This module ignores the changes done to the dungeon in the 4 th Edition release of Undermountain¸ and is designed to be set Pre-Spellplague (roughly late 1379 DR in Forgotten Realms). This area represents the locales that are commonly explored to the west of the Entry Well (Shield Room) and what lies directly below the Long Dark Stairs. Like the areas around the Shield Room itself these areas are part the central dungeon of the first level of Undermountain that have been heavily explored by adventurers who have left their mark on the dungeon crawl over the years (the final area being the southern section¸ which I refer to as The Grim Statue and Labyrinth Environments). The DM could provide a crude map of some areas of the area¸ although I wouldn't make it entirely complete¸ nor accurate (the later provides a lot of amusement). The DM is encouraged to roll random encounters from an existing encounter table (my own custom Undermountain Random Encounter Tables & Rumors is available on Dungeon Masters Guild). I've also put together a bundle that collects all of my Undermountain PDF's in one place¸ which includes additional monsters from Trobrand's Scalandicals. All these PDFs¸ as well as every other PDF that I've produced here are all part of my EVERYTHING ANDREW JAMES WOODYARD BUNDLE ¸ which sells at a discounted price compared to the combined retail price of all the PDFs contained within it. The Map provided is taken from the original map of Undermountain¸ but the room numbers have been altered for the purpose of this module. In addition¸ I've included descriptions of the Yawning Portal for the DM's use (excluded the descent into the Wellshaft as this PDF explores the Wet Well in the Yawning Portal's cellars¸ as well as the top of the Long Dark Stairs¸ which have been inaccurately located behind the Blushing Nymph Feasthall.)
