White Plume Mountain

White Plume Mountain, originally a PnP adventure module for the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game, has been announced as being adapted into a DDO quest, release currently targeted for Summer 2018.

From Producer letter/January 2018:


 * ...we are pleased to announce our next classic adventure! An eccentric wizard has hidden three famous Sentient weapons inside of a volcano, and challenged all comers to try to retrieve them. Can you make it through fiendish obstacles and deadly traps? Have you guessed the pack yet? It's White Plume Mountain, a classic 1979 dungeon that was also recently brought to 5th Edition in the Tales from the Yawning Portal book. We'll be giving this intense test of skill the DDO treatment later this summer in an adventure pack that will also feature several other stand-alone dungeons themed around wizards and their arcane environments.

The Pen-and-paper adventure is a classic dungeon crawl, consisting of 3 separate paths filled with traps, obstacles, puzzles, and fairly powerful monsters, each leading to one of three different sentient weapons hidden at the end of each path.

Sentient weapons in the module

 * Blackrazor: soul-eating greatsword, weak vs constructs and undead, grants haste, immunity to charms and fear
 * Wave: trident with various water powers, dehydrates enemies (half hp)
 * Whelm: dwarven warhammer with shockwavey stun, true sight; good vs traditional dwarf enemies

Adventure Pack
This will be an adventure pack with multiple quests.
 * Main quests (actual White Plume Mountain content)

The main quests should be heroic and legendary. The side quests might be early epic level.
