About the adventure
Rumors begin to swirl of something evil beginning to trap the souls of the dead and draining life from all who have been raised from death by magic. This worldwide "Death Curse" not only prevents the raising of the dead but also causes those that were previously raised from the dead to wither and die. The source of this "Death Curse" is rumored to originate within the vast archipelago of Chult. A widely unexplored group of islands shielded to the west, south, and east by a collection of reefs, unrelenting storms and sea creatures known collectively as the Dragon's Maw. A name largely earned due to its reputation for being the home to many Dragon Turtles, whose ravenous hunger for treasure is legendary within the Shining Sea. But those dangers pale in comparison to what lies within Chult's heart, an untamed wilderness of dense jungles, impassable mountains, and belching volcanoes. Where mighty reptilian beasts roam, undead armies march unchecked and cannibals lurk behind every shadow.

About me
Fluent in GIFs and puns alike, I, as your GM, am here to bring your fantasies to reality. To craft a shared world where you can be the Hero (or Villain) you have always wanted to be. Whether that is with something prewritten or a custom creation where you are able to recreate your favorite Anime, Movie, TV Show, Video Game and so forth. If interested in my StartPlaying Credentials, I have been chosen to represent both 5th Edition and its 5.5e revisions during the following Events: š Players Handbook Celebration (2024) š Dungeon Master's Guide Celebration (2024) š Monster Manual Celebration (2025) So, with 1,000+ Paid Games under my belt, not a single TPK (or permanent Player Character Death) to date (despite keeping things challenging), a 5 Star Review Rating across the board and being chosen for a number of important StartPlaying Events, you can trust that you will have a satisfying D&D experience with a cooperative & knowledgable GM who will fulfill your desired experience at the Table.

Creating your character
Your Character Level is 15th. You do not pick a 5.5e Background; instead, you pick a pre-5.5e Background and an Origin (or any without a +1) Feat that makes sense for it. āāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāā All official Class and Species options are available, including Third Parties on D&D Beyond. Should you desire something Homebrew and/or from a Third Party not yet on D&D Beyond, my approval is required and may be subject to modifications, should the selection be considered imbalanced i.e. too strong and/or too weak. The optional Rules of Multiclassing and Feats are allowed. Standard Array, Point Buy and Rolling are available for Ability Scores. If Rolling, you will Roll with me present. Additionally, should you choose to Roll, I have a Mulligan Rule allowing you to reroll one Roll or the entire set of Rolls should the odds not be in your favor. Keeping the final result. āāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāā Additionally, you receive extra Items beyond normal Starting Equipment that include: ā¶ļø 5,000,000 GP ā¶ļø A Magical Boon You can spend your GP on Magic Items. Common = 100 GP, Uncommon = 400 GP, Rare = 4,000 GP. Very Rare = 40,000 GP, Legendary = 400,000 GP; halved for consumables. ā There are Rules for Attuneless Magic Items. Inquire if interested.
Salathiel Rivard (Human Drakewarden Ranger) The Party has docked at Baldur's Gate and is journeying toward Candlekeep to gain what knowledge may be helpful on the remainder of their time on the Sword Coast. Their ultimate destination is Waterdeep, where they will begin collecting pieces of a stolen Ancient Green Dragon's Hoard.
