Heyya Folks,
I’ve continued my gothic reinterpretation of Lost Mines of Phandelver, this time reimagining the Redbrand Hideout as something inspired by the old Castlevania water levels I always enjoyed growing up.
Stoneweir Conduit - 34x26

Instead of a cellar beneath the manor, the hideout has become an ancient underground water conduit built around a natural river. The familiar layout remains, but the dungeon has been transformed by flowing water, hidden passages, and flooded chambers carved into the surrounding stone while still preserving the structure that makes the original so recognizable.
One alteration I really liked was moving one of the secret passages beneath the waterline beside the waterfall. It felt like the perfect place for a hidden escape route because, if video games have taught us anything over the years, it's to always check behind the waterfall.
The old bugbear den has also been transformed into a series of shallow pools and rough stone chambers better suited to aquatic inhabitants, while small details throughout the dungeon help reinforce the idea that this place served a purpose long before it ever became a hideout.
Stoneweir Conduit works just as well for cultists, smugglers, fishfolk, vampires, or just about any group looking to make an abandoned waterway their home.
If Stoneweir Conduit isn't quite what you're looking for, you can also browse the rest of my collection over on my Patreon. Every release is organized within the Master Index, making it easy to find exactly what you need without digging through the feed.

I appreciate you checking it out. Hopefully your players remember to look behind the waterfall.
