Shard Shunners - a Zhentarim Faction Mission

'Shard Shunners' is the name of the third faction mission given to Zhentarim characters in the Waterdeep: Dragon Heist campaign. In this elaborate version of the brief given in Chapter 2: Trollskull Alley, finding the missing Dasher Snobeedle is no longer a simple errand, but a deep delve into the seedier portions of Waterdeep, as the party must face the dangerous halfling wererats that inhabit Waterdeep's sewers. Will the heroes be able to brave foul sewage and the devious Rat Queen as they return a lost youth to his wealthy family (for a hefty reward, of course!) or will the Shard Shunners nibble on adventurers tonight?

This document includes: 

  • Additional flavour for the Zhentarim – more information about the Doom Raider Zhentarim and ideas that can help you make the Zhentarim more interesting as your players interact with them (Note: this section is nearly identical to the information given in our other products in this series, 'Hatred Surfacing' and 'Deadly Delivery').
  • Shard Shunners - a full-fledged faction mission based on the third mission brief in Chapter 2, that has the party delving into Waterdeep's seedy Dock Ward as they must deal with treacherous wererats, devious traps and the cunning Rat Queen to claim the reward for finding a young, wealthy halfling.
  • A Night Dock Ward Encounter Map - a full 48x48 battle map primed for virtual tabletops, showing several streets in the Dock Ward during the night, usable for this faction mission and other encounters in Waterdeep's Dock Ward!  (Note: this map is the same included in 'Hatred Surfacing').
  • A Rats' Nest Map - a 40x20 battle map showing part of the sewer and 'Rats' Nest', the Shard Shunners base.
  • A DM's Cheatsheet – we've made the notes for you, distilling the 'Shard Shunners' faction mission down into notes that can fit on a single page, as well as pages with statblocks for all enemies the party might encounter during this mission.
Note: Instead of buying just this product, you can save nearly 40% when you buy all four Zhentarim faction missions at the same time.

Ran this last week, although in modified form. It was well laid out and enjoyable to run. In our personal story Dasher is actually a friend of one of the PCs so I modified it to make it more of a genuine rescue mission and changed one trap but otherw [...]

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.
