Join Dungeon Master Lexi McQueen as they run the Prisoner 13 adventure for our heist crew, comprised of Luis Carazo, Omar Najam, Sarah Chaffee, and Michael Galvis.
What Is Revel's End?
Revel's End is a prison located in the frigid north of the Sword Coast in a region known as Icewind Dale. The prison first appeared in Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden, where it served as a setpiece to contain the region's dangerous criminals. An impenetrable fortress carved from a tall, blade-shaped rock, Revel's End is situated on the shore of the Sea of Moving Ice, allowing it to be accessed by land, sea, or airship.
The prison is under the control of the Lord's Alliance, and they use it to house those that have committed serious crimes against the member's cities, including Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter, and Waterdeep.
Any way you look at it, Revel's End is a tough nut to crack. The unforgiving environment, total isolation, and fortress-like defenses make the prison all but impenetrable. That is, unless you know the right crew.
Your Mission, Should You Choose to Accept It
You've been hired to infiltrate Revel's End and extract information from one of the prison's earliest inmates, a dwarven crime boss now known as Prisoner 13. How you break into the jail and gain the intel is up to you.

Posted Feb 3, 2023It would have been nice if there was some twist to the adventure, such as you speak to the prisoner 13 and she reveals that the treasure is actually a weapon (maybe some strong air based poison that could take out a whole town) and that she was paid to transport it but when she found out what it was locked it away. Then the characters have the moral dilemma and the heist changes from talking to a prisoner, stealing some records and walking out to a jail break with options for combat and actually interesting.

No thanks. You can't buy back trust with free handouts. This won't be enough to make me renew my subscription. Nice try though.

Posted Feb 4, 2023Yeah, I'm with the last couple of guys. These "here's a freebie, come look at more," tactics are extremely transparent. There's gonna be a new reason y'all ain't making as much money, and it won't be because "undermonetization."

Posted Feb 4, 2023Not everyone has RotFM.
The heist is "You've been hired to infiltrate Revel's End and extract information from one of the prison's earliest inmates".
Agree that since they are reusing a already published 5th Ed location, that WotC should have added more new material. The info about the parole hearings is irrelevant to this particular adventure, so it should have been cut to make room for new lore & characters.

Posted Feb 4, 2023I know there’s nothing stopping me changing the scenario, but considering the whole book costs money it would be quite nice if some effort was put in to its creation, it shouldn’t be up to DMs to completely rewrite the story in order to make it worthwhile. Hopefully this is not an indication of the book as a whole but if Radiant Citadel is any example then it will be
