The Truth Behind the Spine of the World!
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | One-Shot
About the adventure
Archaeologist Silja Stengravar has put out a call to adventurers across the Forgotten Realms to aid her on an excavation in Icewind Dale, for a reward of 1,000 gold. You have decided to answer the call. What is it you will find? Riches? Magic long lost? Your own death? Be prepared to explore the Spine of the World and possibly beyond in this D&D 5e Oneshot. Use gems with mysterious powers, fight an ancient curse, explore places unknown, all while getting paid!
Game style
Theater of the Mind
“Theater of the Mind” uses little to no visuals for scene settings and combat. Instead, the narrative imagery comes from the Game Master’s descriptions and character action and movement comes from Players’ descriptions.

Additional details
How to prepare
Discord will be used to talk before the game and discuss anything that is needed. Players can make their characters how ever they want but I can provide character sheets with content for those who want them. If you for some reason want to use a pregenerated character let me know and I will provide you with one. Using a Webcam is optional but encouraged.
What I provide
I will provide autofill character creation sheets for anyone who wants them. I will also be providing music. While I do follow the rules of D&D if you want your character to do something that makes the story better I will enact the the Rule of Cool.
Gameplay details
General Rating: PG:13 - Can be past this depending on situation and group We will be using the Lines and Veils tool, this tool is intended to put limits on the game. Lines are things you as a player don't want to happen at all in the game, hard stop. Veils are things you don't want described and if they happen in game it will just 'fade to black' and then the game will continue. Open Door means that is any player wants to they can take a break from the game if they feel they need it, no questions asked. Stars and Wishes is at the end of a session where players can say what they liked and what they want to change. CODE OF CONDUCT - NO Bullying, hazing, or otherwise picking on a fellow character. You are a team and as such will treat each other with respect. - NO Sexual content (sweet talking may be used as a form of persuasion but ONLY with NPCs) Try and keep it pg-13 at least in this area - NO Shutting down other players ideas or actions. Each player has a chance to voice their thoughts or intent. If you say "My character will try..." after I determine if the game allows that action, we will then play out the outcome. If you ask the party for their opinion, then that action can be decided upon by the group (in or out of character). There are no wrong answer or suggestions. This is overridden if you feel uncomfortable with something someone is doing. If during a live game something comes up that is making you uncomfortable, please speak up and the event/action will cease immediately.

How will character creation work
Characters should be made beforehand but I am willing to help out anyone who is in need of help. Level 3 characters. I will provide access to a autofill character sheet for character creation for anyone who wants it. This has access to most content. Rules for creation: You may use point buy or standard array for stats. No SpellJammer races. If you want any equipment that is not starting equipment ask and I may let you have it. Please only official content no Homebrew.
