A goblin ambush on the Triboar Trail — Pip Stonehill pinned under a wagon, Kelvin's wolf transformation and Pip's fury, a near-TPK inside Cragmaw Hideout against Klarg's Winter Wolf. The party pushes through to Phandalin the following day. — A01

The party infiltrates Tresendar Manor, dismantles the Redbrand gang, and captures their leader Glasstaff (Iarno Albrek). Aldith Tresendar's spirit gives Roland the family signet ring and sword Talon. The manor becomes the party's headquarters. — A02–A04

The Tresendar ghosts block any renovation of the manor. Kavu communes with the spirits alone at night, convincing them their watch is over. A massive spectral tornado erupts from the manor, visible across all of Phandalin. The manor is finally clear. Othorion joins the party during the downtime week — Jonah spotted him staring and invited him to drink. — A05

At Old Owl Well, the party discovers an ancient lantern containing the soul of Sylphrena, a Netherese archivist trapped for thousands of years. Roland permanently attunes to her. Hamun Kost warns the attunement may be a curse. — A06–A08

A white fox leads Kelvin and Othorion through a portal into the Feywild, where Titania of the Summer Court waits. Kelvin loses his name to fey magic. Othorion's missing fingers are mysteriously restored. The party returns changed. — A10

A mysterious archway pulls the party into the Feywild. Kelvin confronts his suppressed power. The trials reshape what each member believes about themselves. — A11

North of Conyberry, the party finds Haldak Tencloak — a time-displaced halfling chronomancer from the fallen Netherese Enclave of Rasilith — collapsed on the road. On the journey home, Othorion's drow cousin Zilnath ambushes the party in a life-threatening test. Othorion dies. Haldak reverses time itself to undo the death. In his foretellings, Othorion survives only in timelines where these companions stay with him. — A12

The group pushes north to Thundertree, where Reidoth the druid marks Cragmaw Castle on their map and brokers a tense deal with the young green dragon Venomfang. — A14–A15

Magic sigils on the High Road are capturing travellers. The party tracks the source to a hag's cave in Neverwinter Wood, kills the hag, and recovers the soul gem of Igwine — a tiefling swashbuckler. Othorion attunes and Igwine's consciousness permanently merges into his mind. — A16

The party storms Cragmaw Castle, slays King Grol, and rescues Gundren Rockseeker. The path to Wave Echo Cave is open. — A17–A18

Returning to Phandalin, the party finds it under attack from frost giants led by Queen Gerti Orelsdottir. The giants are repelled. Haldak brokers a deal: find the Codicil of White and deliver it to Gerti in Icewind Dale. — A19–A20

Gundren leads the party into Wave Echo Cave over two brutal days. The Black Spider Nezznar is captured, the Forge of Spells is secured, and Arc A closes. — A21–A24

After a month recovering and resupplying in Phandalin, the party departs late on Nightal 15 — tasked with escorting the captured Black Spider to Revel's End prison in the far north. — B01

On the road north of Saltmarsh, the party encounters Kefkas Artoriel — half-elf bard and arena fighter from Waterdeep — escorting a noble wagon ambushed by bandits. He falls in with the group. — B03

Pip is ambushed and poisoned by House Baenre assassins in Neverwinter. Guenhwyvar — Drizzt's legendary panther — appears to rescue her. The Baenre connection to Othorion is laid bare. — B05

The party reaches Neverwinter on Nightal 22. Lord Neverember tasks them with recovering the lost Crown of Neverwinter from beneath the ruins of Castle Never, promising Phandalin vassal status in return. — B02–B04

Delving through Castle Never — phase spiders, undead shards of Selûne, the Cloaked Descendant's agents, and a heavily trapped vault. Haldak loses his arm to a guardian construct. The Crown is secured. — B07–B10

The party boards the Ice Serpent and sails north from Neverwinter. Robert Hidswell — rescued mid-voyage from a giant crab attack — joins as their arctic guide. — B11–B12

A brief stop in the City of Sails packed with complications: Kelvin is recognised as famous (and indebted) here. Captain Gregorovich is unmasked as the goblin Gum Gum. High Captain Throa Taerl is using Othorion's family as leverage. The party resupplies and presses on. — B13–B14

The Ice Serpent turns north into the Sea of Moving Ice — the only route to the remote arctic prison of Revel's End. — C01

The party reaches the arctic prison and infiltrates its defences. Under pressure from Grazzt's agents, they move to free a specific prisoner — bypassing the prison's security layer by layer. — B15–B17

Haldak's food poisoning gambit incapacitates the warden. The party raids her office and discovers Prisoner 13 is Korda Glintstone. Kavu forges Lireal's parole documents. Valera Vandree is sighted near the prison. — B19–B20

A bargain is struck with the demon prince Grazzt. Prisoner 218 — Lireal — is freed and joins the group heading north. The party leaves Revel's End the same day. — B18

At the fringe of the tundra near the Underdark entrance, the party finds two dead drow locked together in death — clutching a pendant bearing the merged insignias of House Baenre and House Xorlarrin. Something stirs in Othorion. — C02–C03

"Robert Hidswell" removes his disguise — the party's arctic guide is the legendary Jarlaxle Baenre, leader of Bregan D'aerthe and Othorion's uncle. He distributes House Baenre gear and reveals Elminster's letter warning Othorion of deliberate memory loss. — C04

At the Underdark entrance, Lireal assesses Othorion's swordsmanship and finds it sorely lacking. "I want to see you live long enough to make a decision about what you and I are." — C05

The party infiltrates the drow prison Velkynvelve under cover identities. Othorion poses as Xarvon of House Baenre. A chaotic prison break frees Stool, Eldeth Feldrun, Prince Dendril, Caspian Falk, and others. Chasmes swarm the escape. The party dives into the underground river. — C06

The party reaches the Kuo-toa settlement of Sloobludop. Othorion has visions of his parents — Ceravel Xorlarrin and Tiago Baenre. Demogorgon erupts from the lake and destroys the town. The party flees into the tunnels. — C06

The bridge across the Long Chasm collapses and the party plunges through dozens of layers of the Abyss. Araushnee — the fallen goddess, Lolth before her transformation — catches them in her webs and delivers personal prophecies to each member. She warns that Othorion will find a blade the party must keep from him. — C07

Returned to the far side of the bridge by Araushnee's magic, the party evades the drow pursuit. A tense standoff with the drow commander Xynia follows. Valera Vandree sends a threatening Sending — hunting her own brother. — C07b

What appeared to be a fallen research tower was the interior of a sleeping Tarrasque. The party explored for days — meeting Society of Brilliance scholars, battling symbiotic horrors, and churning through acid. On Hammer 16, 23:00, Kavu's Compass activated: half the party was displaced to Flamemeet (Arc D). For those who remained, the absent group vanished and returned in an instant — no time passed. — C09–C14

Half the party is dropped 72 hours into the past — landing in Kavu's hometown of Flamemeet. On the following morning, cultists seize the tavern and bind hostages. Timer: 72 hours. — D01

The cultist attack is broken. Elder Drakkor reveals Volcathar is using mass sacrifice to force the dragon to adulthood. The party visits Flamehold, plans the assault with Ivor's Purple Dragon Knights, and marches for Toothmaw Cliffs. — D02–D03

At Flamehold, the party discovers the cult leader Father Corven has bound Volcathar to his will through magical bracers. The party rescues captives and prepares for the assault on Toothmaw Cliffs. — D04

At the ritual site Volcathar ascends to adulthood and seizes Kavu. The party pursues into the Scar. Kossuth and Ashteth appear above the crater. Kavu activates a separate function of the Compass inside Volcathar — triggering a divine convergence that crystallises the dragon. The 72-hour displacement countdown expires; the displaced party is returned to the present. — D05–D06

Reunited inside the beast, the party fights through intestinal horrors, commandeers a dead Stool elemental, and forces the Tarrasque into unconsciousness with an ancient command word. Othorion pulls Blackrazor from the creature's flesh — a sentient, soul-devouring sword that consumes Igwine's soul and begins warring with his will. — C15

Resting in the Underdark after days of running, the Traveler speaks through Kefkas — revealing knowledge of Blackrazor, the Dragonshards, and the Forge of Spells. A new thread opens. — C16
