In room 14A it says "If the adventurers sprung any of the traps in Area 12..." but I dont see any traps in Area 12. Which room did it mean?
This is a good question.
I used the room the crown is in, but that was just a guess.
Great mod other than that.

Can you play a pact of the chain warlock with the Variant Imp Familiar talked about in the Monster Manual? The players guide says "Most monsters can be found in the Monster Manual" suggesting that the monster manual is a valid rules source. It does say "D&D Adventurers League play does not use any other optional or variant rules as presented in the Dungeon Master’s Guide" but this isnt the DMG. And the varient human statistics are allowed.

Has anyone done a better map for this? THere are no gridlines and the white box which =10 is next to useless.
Regarding the 'traps' in area 12 - it is clear that this area was changed pre-publication and there must have originally been some traps in area 12 (and accompanying instruction that the kobold and zombies would investigate if they were triggered); and the file was incompletely edited after this change was made. The simplest change is to (as someone noted above) assume magic mouth spells here as in area 3.
I was also concerned with the fact that (according to the stat block) the Knight is wearing Plate Mail, but Plate Mail doesn't show up anywhere in the treasure list. That is a pretty significant reward and they need to either justify why it isn't available for the PCs (and if it isn't shouldn't the Knight have a lower AC?) or they probably ought to include it on the treasure list (after all - its worth more than the sum of all other loots in there; and a Knight isn't a kobold -his/her gear should be in at least serviceable condition).

They don't need to justify why it's not in the list at all. It's in the ALPG why you don't get to keep equipment you find during an adventure.
I must admit I did see the Plate Mail but my first reaction is sadly they wont be able to take it.
The rule they're talking about is from Page 10 of the Adventurers League Players Guide:
"Arms and armor taken from defeated monsters is worthless and cannot be sold unless specified in
the adventure (the party can use the items during the session in which they are found, though). As
a general rule of thumb, if an item is part of a monster’s statistics, it’s not sellable."

I love running this mod, its a smash hit.
If Steve Winter is reading this, thank you Steve.
This mod makes me appreciate the Dragon Queen story line even more.
I just assumed that 'area 12' was a typo and the text was supposed to say 'area 10'. The trap in area 10 is pretty noisy, after all. The idea that area 12 has similar magic mouth 'traps' to area 3 is reasonable, though since there's no treasure listed, it's not clear what the magic mouths would be there for.

For those of you that have already run this.... Did any of your parties just go into room#2 and use the block and tackle to descend to area 13 (The Necropolis) to get to Rorreth's lair, thus negating half of the module?

Tif: No .. my group were .. very hesitant. They knew the undead were about and nobody liked the idea of being lowered down into a danger zone 2 at a time. In fact they locked the gate to the area after investigating so nothing could come... up, after them

I have a question similar to Carl above. I ran this last weekend at a Con. My group was able to defeat the plate mail wearing fighter and all of his friends......I dont want to include any spoilers in case some folks have not had the chance to run this yet. But at the end of the run our DM awarded us one magic item from a caster that he did not have a card for. Do I get to still keep it or does it fall under the same rule as the plate mail? Does the fact that the DM awarded it change this? Its a great item that my rogue would love to have but I am not CN in real life so I follow rules. Thanks.
Dire one: You can still get the magic item in question as long as the table is going by the rules. The cards are just there so people can trade the items. Essentially No Card, No trade.
My local shop has never received the cards, so none of my players will ever be able to trade their items. As long as you record the item on your log sheet correct all you need to do is write the items name in the notes section of the logsheet and its yours!.
At the end of the module all the permanent treasure items, mundane or otherwise, are listed. There is only one permanent item listed and they are the Goggles of Night. If that's the item you have then you're fine. The only difference with having a cert is that the cert allows you to trade the item to another player. Without a cert you're stuck with the item and you're only allowed a certain number of magical items and when determining who gets an item at the end of a session, the tally of current items your character has is taken into account and therefore you may not get an item that you really want.

We're running this tomorrow at Tabletop Tyrants so I decided to redraw the map for easy reference for all three of us DMing it.
Dang, at the very least put that in a spoiler tag!
Sorry thought this was a thread for DMing Dues for the Dead.

I don't think it's assumed that if you go into a thread to discuss a module, you'll find the map of the whole dungeon in that thread.
As I said, it should at a minimum be put in a spoiler tag, if it has to be posted at all. There are other ways to distribute material to other DMs, after all.
