He's got some problems, as well as some fiddly and/or vague modifications. Tloques-Popolocas: They should have done a proper statblock for this guy.Presumably this is meant to refer to the goblin bandits in the area 36 to the north of this room (there is another area 36 to the south of area 39). Practice Range: In area 33 of the fortress level of The Sunless Citadel (pg 22), it states that if things go badly, one of the goblins "attempts to warn the goblin warriors in area 39." The problem is, there are no goblin warriors in area 39.Underdark Access: In area 23 of the fortress level of The Sunless Citadel (pg 19), the read-aloud text incorrectly puts the Underdark tunnel on the east side of the room.
This check should actually be for the mechanical lock. Dragon Door Lock: The description of the locked door in area 6 on the fortress level of The Sunless Citadel (pg 14) indicates that one can make a Dex check with thieves' tools to bypass the magical lock.Also the description of the age of the rope conflicts with the age of the camp fires, tracks, and introductory summary. Ravine: The description of the ravine conflicts with the description of the ledge and doesn't match the map very well.DM's might prefer to enlarge the maps, or allow their giants to be Large, given it's assumed that the Giants built their own lairs hence would size them appropriately. This is a hang-over from the AD&D days, when most giants were Large not Huge the 5e maps have not been re-sized. Giant Strongholds, General: Most corridors in all three Giant Lairs are too narrow for the Giants to actually fight in without squeezing, which is a significant penalty in 5e.According to the map from the original adventure, there should be a door on the east wall, opening into the hallway. Map 6.1: Hill Giant Stronghold, Upper Level, Room 5: The maids' chamber has no door.Map 1.1: Fortress Level, Room 30: This room appears to be an open balcony with a parapet on the map, although this is not backed up by the room's description on pg 21.Map 1.1: Fortress Level, Room 10: The map shows a statue icon in every alcove, despite the fact that the text on pg 15 makes it clear there should not be one in the southwestern alcove (as that is where the quasit was originally bound as a guardian).Considering that much of what was on the PotA list made it into that adventure's official errata, it's possible the same thing might happen here.
Much like I did with Princes of the Apocalypse, I'm working on compiling a list of all the major and minor errors and discrepancies in Tales from the Yawning Portal.
