MASSIVE SPOILER warning now in effect!
Edgin Darvis spent years working as a member of the Harpers, until his wife was killed by a Red Wizard he had confronted on a mission. Accompanied by barbarian Holga Kilgore, Edgin attempted to make a new life for himself and his daughter Kira by turning to theft, forming a team with amateur sorcerer Simon Aumar and rogue Forge Fitzwilliam. One mission led to them infiltrating a former Harper stronghold to acquire a resurrection tablet that would have allowed Edgin to resurrect his wife, however, Forge’s new acquaintance Sofina is revealed to be a Red Wizard who uses the break-in to steal something else from the stronghold. Simon and Forge are able to escape, but Edgin and Holga are captured.
The two escape their prison two years later, learning that Forge has been acting as Kira’s guardian and become the Lord of Neverwinter. Forge has been claiming that Edgin was captured because he just wanted to be rich rather than reveal the true reason for the break-in, the resurrection tablet for Kira’s mother. When Forge attempts to have Edgin and Holga executed, they escape and decide to recruit a new team to break into Forge’s vault and retrieve the resurrection tablet as proof that Edgin is telling the truth. They track down Simon to use his magic expertise, and Simon suggests Doric, a tiefling druid, as another member. Doric’s animal shapeshifting allows the group to confirm the defenses around the vault, but Simon declares that he lacks the power to disable the complex enchantments.
Recalling a tale of a relic retrieved by her people that would have such power, Holga leads them to an old graveyard that allows Simon to question the dead with a talisman. Confirming that the soldiers claimed the helm they seek in their last battle, the group trace the relic to Xenk Yandar, a paladin and survivor of the Thay after the Red Wizards destroyed their country. Xenk guides the group to the underground city where he left the relic, which also leads to Simon receiving a Hither and Thither Staff allowing for short-range teleportation. With the helmet retrieved, Xenk departs, but Simon has trouble mastering the relic. Dungeons and Dragons: HAT continues as Edgin suggests a new plan where they use the staff to teleport inside the vault and steal Forge’s riches during the new Games he has re-opened.
However, when they infiltrate the vault, it turns out to be empty, leading Edgin and the others to realize that Forge has been working with Sofina to cast an ancient ritual to turn those attending the games into her zombie slaves with a horn she stole in the original raid, while Forge escapes with the riches. Edgin is able to escape execution by persuading Forge to put them in the games by playing on his ego, allowing the team to escape during the contest. Returning to the boat where Forge had moved his riches, Forge proves Edgin was telling the truth when he threatens Kira to convince Edgin to give up the boat, only for the group to steal the boat back.
Witnessing Sofina begin her ritual leads Edgin to decide that they have to go back and save the people, using the teleportation staff to transport Forge’s stolen riches out of the boat and spread across the city to draw people out of the stadium. Outraged at her defeat, Sofina attacks the group, but in the process Simon is able to master his magic. Sofina’s attempt to use a time-stop spell fails when Simon nullifies the spell, allowing Kira to use an invisibility pendant to place an anti-magic bracelet on Sofina so that the team can defeat her. Holga is revealed to have been fatally injured in the battle, but Edgin and Kira use the tablet to bring her back to life. With the old Lord of Neverwinter restored, he declares the team heroes of the realm and Forge is sent to prison.
Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves is slated to release on 31st March 2023.
