Waterdeep: Dragon Heist - Winter Thievery

Hlal, the copper dragon goddess of wit and trickery, made an announcement ahead of this year’s Winter Solstice festivities: while the citizens of Waterdeep are distracted by their Simril parties, Hlal is going to break past the Dragonward, sneak through the city, and drop a copper dragonscale down one hundred of the city’s most deserving chimneys.

In the wealthy Sea Ward, nobles have opened their halls to the common folk, hoping to attract Hlal’s good graces – and her copper dragonscales.

Which is great for you, because it makes robbing those rich fools so much easier.

Winter Thievery is a oneshot supplement to the Waterdeep: Dragon Heist adventure book, which takes 3-6 characters on a heist through the Cassalanter Villa on winter solstice night. This easily adaptable adventure is perfect for a winter campaign of Dragon Heist as it introduces players to the three other potential villains of the book. Players take on the roles of thieves working for Xanathar, who have been tasked with stealing as much from the Cassalanters as they can in one night. There are other guests at the party tonight, however, who may cause a bit of a stir....

Winter Thievery can be played with any time limit, but 3-5 hours is ideal. Characters of level 5 are recommended.
