About the adventure
This one shot is designed for 15th level characters, and features dungeon crawling, exploration, and narrative in equal measure. Deep beneath the ruins of the pyramid of Aravashi Vo lies a strange, winding tunnel down into the depths of the Underdark below this world! After the earthshattering events of the Pyramid of Snakes adventure, ancient secrets have been uncovered! Archaeologists have returned to the pyramid dig site to resume excavation. Now that the plans of the Yuan-Ti cultists of the Night Serpent have been halted by a brave band of adventurers, the historians can work uninterrupted and safe. However, they have discovered something terrible: a passageway to the Underdark! The dark path downward is steeped in grave danger, villainous monsters, and more ties to the mysterious Night Serpent. Clerics of Ioun believe the cult of this false idol may have originated from the evil caverns below, but they have no one who can survive the horrors that await! Furthermore, they fear the monsters beyond the light may emerge from their dark den of evil and bring their vile nature with them! Daring heroes are needed once again to brave the dangers of the Underdark below, uncover any secrets they can find, and get to the bottom of the origin of this maddening cult! Unknown to the surface world, immense otherworldly forces move in the darkness, plotting to unleash untold devastation on the world of the dawn. The heroes must stop them!

About me
I like to weave a dramatic narrative through a balance of roleplay and tactical combat, setting the stage for heroes to be brave in the face of overwhelming odds. I aim to create an experience where players are thrilled by epic challenges, have lots of laughs, and feel the emotional weight of a shared story in a highly immersive experience. I strive to create a welcoming, respectful, and safe community for LGBTQ+, BIPOC, and neurodivergent players. I am a transfemme person myself, and I have no tolerance for bigotry of any kind. This is a space to create, collaborate, and share in the fun of the hobby together. I am an avid user of safety tools to keep my games fun and light-hearted. Even when the fictional tensions are high, the game stays fun! I will handcraft an adventure for you based on your group's interests, featuring my own custom maps, characters, and storylines. Do you prefer a thrilling narrative where RP takes priority, do you enjoy a good dungeon crawl, or maybe a harmonious blend of the two? I will happily accommodate your group to offer the best play experience I can provide! Additionally, if you have an adventure module you would like me to run for you, I would be more than happy to provide such an experience as well! My price for a custom game is $30 per person. Sessions are typically 3-4 hours, but the session duration can be tailored to your preference. I will provide a captivating experience featuring custom maps, fun NPCs, and quality voice acting. I will incorporate your characters' goals, flaws, and backstories into the narrative. For me, the comfort, wants, and needs of my players always take priority.

What Sovaelis brings to the table
I will bring a solid grasp of the rules of 5e and a deep excitement to go on this adventure with you! I have the following books on dndbeyond. I will share the player options within them with you to use in this game: - The 3 Core Books (PHB, DMG, MM) - The "Everything" Books (XGtE, TCoE) - Fizban's Treasury of Dragons - Van Richten's Guide to Ravenloft - Mordenkainen's Monsters of the Multiverse Any other published WotC content is also allowed at my games, but unfortunately, I cannot provide them for digital use at this time. I use Roll20 VTT with my custom maps and Dynamic Lighting enabled, and I use Hero Forge to create custom tokens for use in-game.

How Sovaelis creates a safe table
The links to the discord server, the dndbeyond campaign, and the Roll20 game will be available here on startplaying once you have joined. The adventure is set in my homebrew high fantasy world. This is a game for brave heroics, for laughter, and incredible dramatics. I enjoy rewarding collaboration, imagination, and dramatic descriptions with DM inspiration. This is a safe space for the LGBTQ+ community, as I am a part of the community. Please join the game only with an open mind and acceptance in your heart.
