At the bottom of Betrayers' Rise in CALL OF THE #NETHERDEEP, the PCs run into a pre-scripted cutscene.

(Or maybe the cutscene runs into them? Either way.)

Aloysia Telfan shows up with the Rivals and says, "Gimme the McGuffin!" Image
Things assumed by this cutscene:

1. The PCs have the Jewel.
2. The Rivals aren't dead.
3. The Rivals aren't working with the PCs.
4. The PCs aren't working with Aloysia.
(Oddly the cutscene DOES provide a contingency plan for Aloysia being dead -- her understudy shows up and read her lines -- even though I see no plausible way for her to BE dead in the adventure as written.)

Running Betrayers' Rise.

Our goal is to take the micro-dungeon found in Call of the #Netherdeep and present it in a way that's consistent with Betrayers' Rise being an ancient dungeon with vast, unexplored depths from which abyssal horrors are emerging. Image

On several occasions on the road to Bazzoxan, Call of the #Netherdeep has food so good that it gives you temporary hit points.

I've mentioned previously that these NPCs are given great back stories and personalities, which are then expertly presented in 3-4 paragraph briefings. Each also has an individual goal to pursue.

Very easy to pick up and play. Lots of varied opportunities for cool interactions.

In our Let's Read of CALL OF THE #NETHERDEEP, it's time to leave Jigow and head to Bazzoxan.

But here's a question for you:

Why are we going there, exactly?

Don't bother checking the book. It doesn't know.

Anybody interested in a Let's Read of CALL OF THE NETHERDEEP?

My POV here is someone with virtually no knowledge of Critical Role. Image
No sourcebooks. No comics. No animated series (yet).

I've watched the first episode of the current season, a couple dozen short highlights, and @mattcolville's incredible recap of the Season 1 finale (which still brings tears to my eyes).

Nonetheless, CALL OF THE NETHERDEEP is something I've wanted WotC to do for awhile now: Release a sourcebook for a campaign world (e.g., Explorer's Guide to Wildemount) and then support that with a full campaign book.
