CAN YOU SURVIVE WATERDEEP'S MOST INFAMOUS DEATHTRAP?

Blue Alley lies hidden in the heart of Waterdeep. Built by a secretive wizard, it is a magic maze full of tricks, traps, strange monsters, and rich treasure. Countless adventurers have ventured inside to test their bravery and skill, yet few have returned. And now it is your turn…

Blue Alley is a 3-4 hour Dungeons & Dragons adventure for characters of 1st to 4th level. It expands upon the material presented in Waterdeep: Dragon Heist, but can be played on its own or as part of any D&D campaign.

My players feel like they have to both disrobe and hold the gem when grasping the gates. What happens then? The way it's written, it sort of handles the cases of disrobing without the gem, or carrying normal stuff and having the gem (which is sort of how you "successfully" exit.) They've found and collected the various items successfully, so it'd be weird to teleport them out without anything (including the items they went in with.)

I ran this for my group as a detour from Dragonheist because we were short a couple of people. It was so much fun. Highly recommended. Honestly probably the highlight of the campaign so far. Thanks!

What kind of lighting conditions does the Alley map have? It's an alley, so I assumed whatever time of day lighting because of the Wall of Force above the alley being invisible, but some rooms are domed etc, and there are plenty of monsters that use darkness etc. Clarification por favor.

Except where there is an obvious light source (e.g. the panic room), assume interior rooms are dark.

Looking at room 24. Twisty & Narrow, and I'm trying to figure out a way for the trap ever trigger. I see the players just following the 'Yellow brick road' without any complications. I guess what I'm trying to understand is what is the 'gotcha' moment outside don't touch the grey blocks. Is the room intended to be that simple trap and I'm just overthinking it? (maybe that is the trap.)

It is that simple. A surprising number of players, in our experience, will step off the path to find out what happens. There is also a big contingent of players who will be highly suspicious of the yellow path because it is "too inviting." Will be interesting to see how your players handle it!

From a DMing point of view, how is the hallway between 26 and 6 intended to accessed? If the bars cannot be bent are the players supposed to just chip away at the window with their weapons until it breaks apart?

The hallway is accessed from the south. It is not intended that the players can break through the bars - the purpose of this window is for them to see what's in room 26 but not be able to reach it immediately.

Thanks for responding! Oh, I was looking at the PNG map files and thought that the south to north passage reaches a dead end because the west to the east passage of 5 bisects it and not that 5 was above that south to north passage. Looking at the map in the PDF I can see how the south to north passage does cut through as you described.

Clarification on room 25:

"Keilier has enchanted the room to claim “ownership” of anything that a visitor can see, so once a visitor leaves the room, anything that they are wearing or carrying is teleported to the center of the room as the wizard’s boisterous laughter rolls through the chamber."

Does this mean that once the players enter and then leave the room they are in essence naked? Assuming the same trick to get the status would apply to getting their gear back.

Question: what does the clue: “FIFTY FEET SOUTH OF THE BARRED WINDOW IS A SECRET DOOR.” mean? - is it a "gotcha!" red herring or did I miss something? I would have added SOMETHING if I knew how obsessed my players would have become because of it. thanks for the AWESOME adventure and clarification.

Roughly 50 feet south of the barred window to location 26 is a secret door to location 6

after reading the comments to research my answer I came to the observation that the guest book is a one way entry and can be re-entered as often as needed by signing again, but not exited through. That leaves the gates of paradise as the only exit at #22. However, that room description mentions pass or fail the pc leaves everything behind but their bare behind. how do the pc's get the unicorn out? or does the gate gem offer the only way to exit with gear intact? or is there another exit I am missing?

Hi Kelly, yes, you need the gateway gem to get out at exit #22 with your gear

Format

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
