Fireball - a Waterdeep: Dragon Heist DM's Resource

Chapter 3: Fireball is the real 'hook' of Waterdeep: Dragon Heist. It's where the adventure starts in earnest, as an explosion of fire pulls the adventurers from their leisurely lives at Trollskull Manor and right into the middle of a criminal investigation - and a hunt for 500,000 gold dragons! But how to make sure the party actually get involved? And that they find the clues they need to get where they need to go? And how do you handle the chaos of Gralhund Villa?

The goal of this document is to provide you, the Dungeon Master, with tools and thoughts that'll help you make Chapter 3 of Waterdeep: Dragon Heist easy for you to run and enjoyable for your players. This document includes:

  • The Hook - You'll find advice on how to make sure the fireball-incident causes your players to become interested and get involved.
  • The Investigation - Going over each step of the investigation, we give advice on how to present clues, adding new optional clues, as well as how to make sure the party gets where they need to go without clumsy DM intervention.
  • The Confrontation - We take a closer look at Gralhund Villa and the series of encounters that play out here, ensuring that you're ready to plunge your party into the deadly standoff between the Zhentarim and the Gralhunds.
  • Map - a more detailed version of the Gralhund Villa map in the campaign book, primed for use on your favorite virtual tabletop!
  • DM's Notes - You'll also find a single page of condensed notes covering the entire chapter, hopefully saving you from flipping through the campaign book at the table.
  • Monster Stats - Last, the document also includes the statistics for each potential enemy in Chapter 3: A Friend in Need, conveniently put together on the same pages.

I'm preparing to run this campaign in a few weeks and have already bought the first 2 parts. Going to buy parts 3 & 4 today. I really appreciate having a supplemental guide like this to sort of fill in the cracks that WOTC has left. For a new DM like me to try and figure it out on my own would be difficult and time consuming. Can't say enough how much this helps!

Thanks to you! I'm really looking forward to buy and read the final chapter of your interesting books. I hope they will help me to use all or most of the material in the book - as much as cool it is to play the same adventure 4 times with a different setting and villain each time, I'm realistic about being able to play it only once with my group, so I hope there will be suggestion or ideas how to "mix and mash" the various "treasure hunts" storylines. Thanks for your answer!

Reading through this now, and it's good so far. There is a small typo on page 2 "(but sooth-stained) dress".

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.
