Leverage: Waterdeep - "Putting the Cart Before the Horse"

ADD TO WISHLIST >

As more customers trickle into Trollskull Manor, you find that service has become standing room only. After much of the furniture was destroyed while the tavern stood derelict, you discover that you must replace most of your tables, benches and stools.

One of your neighbors has worse luck than you — he has a degenerate gambler brother-in-law who is about to lose his livelihood. Luckily for you, they’re both in the furniture business, and you’ve developed a reputation for helping these kind of people. If you can sneak into an elegant gala and recover the magical leatherworking tools from a dastardly coachman, they will fill Trollskull Manor with all the furniture you need.

When planning a job of this magnitude, it’s imperative not to put the cart before the horse. Can you infiltrate the gala and recover the leatherworking tools before time runs out?

Update 3/15/19: We have included an appendix on how to run the Coachmen's Gala as a Fey Day masquerade ball — perfect for running on St. Patrick's Day!

Leverage: Waterdeep is a series of adventures that help put the heist back into Dragon Heist. Set during chapter of the adventure, the PCs help the good folk of Waterdeep take back what's their in exchange for affordable repairs to Trollskull Manor. 

"Putting the Cart Before the Horse" is an heist-style adventure designed for 2nd level characters who are playing Chapter 2 of Waterdeep: Dragon Heist. It also provides an early taste for the villains in all four seasons. Fret not - DMs can easily scale the adventure for play up to 5th level, and with a little work it can be inserted into any urban fantasy setting. 

This adventure makes use of the Complication Points mechanic. This narrative tool allows players fail forward to keep the plot moving, all while the DM sets up a bigger threat in the future. 

If you enjoy this adventure, check out the first two episodes in this series: One Hand Washes The Other and Waste Not, Want Not. For our other products on the DM's Guild, check out our author page

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.

Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
