Neverwinter: Tomb of Annihilation is a campaign expansion module for the Neverwinter massive-multiplayer role-playing game. Released in July 2017, the expansion added a number of new features and new locales far away from the North and the Sword Coast.

Tomb of Annihilation starts with Sergeant Knox asking you to look into a dreadful death curse afflicting people across Faerûn. You begin your investigation in Helm's Hold, where many victims of the sickness have gathered for treatment. As you find clues, you are offered to set up an expedition, funded by a secret patron to the Jungles of Chult hoping to find a cure.
— Excerpt from the going-live announcement.[1]

Features[]

Plot[]

When the clerics at Helm's Hold began to report that people were turning up in varying states of decay, suffering from some sort of curse that their magic could not stop, the Heroes of Sleeping Dragon Bridge went to investigate. After receiving an anonymous letter telling them that the "death curse" could be found in Chult, an expedition to the jungle land was financed by the half-orc Waterdhavian noble Morga Longlived, who was served by the scholar Tristopher Chettlebell. Joined by Minsc, Celeste, and Volothamp Geddarm, Tristopher and the heroes set sailed along the coast, and ventured south to Chult. When they arrived in the Bay of Chult, their ship was destroyed by a dragon turtle and the expedition was scattered and the heroes washed up on the shore.

Believing that the others would head for Port Nyanzaru if they survived, the heroes made their way through the jungle and were reunited with Minsc, who had already been hired by one of the city's merchant princes, Wakanga O'tamu, to fight the undead in exchange for the use of a compound in the city by the expedition. While Volo and the captain had survived as well, Minsc had seen no sign of Celeste or Tristopher. They were soon joined by Makos, who explained only that he had set up contingencies in the event of his death and was the one who sent them the letter at Helm's Hold. While aiding the Order of the Gauntlet at Camp Vengeance, the heroes learned of a crone at Mbala named Nanny Pu'pu who might have knowledge of the death curse.

Nanny Pu'pu agreed to help them, in exchange for recovering magical supplies stolen from her by the batiri of Yellyark. There they also found Celeste's dead body, but when they returned to Mbala, Nanny Pu'pu offered to help restore her to life. She demanded a sacrifice in exchange, and Makos offered up a captive batiri. Celeste rose in undeath, angry at Makos for helping bring her back in such a state. While dead, however, Celeste received a vision from Selûne about a Chosen paladin of Ubtao named Ras Nsi who had betrayed his oaths, and had now pledged himself to a great evil within the Lost City of Omu. The heroes finally uncovered the location of Ras Nsi, hidden within within a shrine of Ubtao called the House of the Crocodile.
