About the adventure
A strange object crashes from the sky, and the Lord's Alliance has called for some agents to go forth and investigate the crash from the sky! As the adventure goes forward, we discover the true nature of the crash, a devious and plotting cult, and a terrible foe looming in the dark depths of the Sword Coast. This adventure is a swashbuckling epic which builds quickly, before it transforms into a seafaring Lovecraftian story! You will find no shortage of choices to be made, places to explore, realized secrets, and fun to be had as the group uncovers the truth about the object that fell from the skies!

How to prepare
Here are the essentials to ensure our adventure runs smoothly: 1. **Discord, Mic, and Internet**: Make sure you're equipped with a Discord account, a reliable microphone, and a stable internet connection. These are our lifelines to seamless communication and epic storytelling. 2. **Webcams (Optional)**: While not mandatory, webcams can add an extra layer of fun to our gameplay. Feel free to switch yours on if you're up for it! 3. **Handout for Background**: To immerse you in the world we're about to explore, I'll provide a handy handout giving you a glimpse into the setting's background. Consider it your passport to adventure! With these basics covered, we're all set to embark on an unforgettable journey together!
What I provide
I will provide high resolution battlemaps via Foundryvtt during combat. There will also be ambient art works, music and character illustrations to help provide immersion to the game.
Gameplay details
Hey there adventurers! Welcome to our D&D journey! Here's how our sessions usually unfold: We kick things off by gathering on D&D Beyond, hopping onto Discord, and then diving into the immersive world of Foundry VTT. Once everyone's settled, we embark on our grand adventure filled with exploration, role-playing, and thrilling combat. If you're into a mix of gritty realism and high fantasy, you've come to the right place! I love blending serious storytelling with a dash of humor, and yes, expect some heart-pounding moments where character survival isn't always guaranteed. After all, navigating through encounters that range from manageable to downright perilous is what keeps the adrenaline pumping and the world feeling alive. Now, let's talk expectations: punctuality is key, and I do ask that everyone commits to the full session unless real-life emergencies crop up. Staying in character adds depth to our tale, and let's steer clear of metagaming to keep the immersion intact. This is a mature game, meaning any topic might arise during our adventures. If there are any boundaries you'd like to set, just shoot me a message, and I'll make sure we respect them. Oh, and don't worry about hunger or nature's call interrupting our fun – we'll take a 5 to 10 minute break mid-session for snacks, drinks, and bio breaks. So grab your dice and get ready for an epic journey!

How will character creation work
- Players will be able to create their characters via DnDbeyond or Foundryvtt. - Each player will have the chance to roll for their stats once. If the player is unsatisfied with the roll, the player can use Point Buy instead. - Only official races and classes are allowed. Anything homebrew must have an approval by the DM first. - The characters will start as level 1 and will advance to level 12 by the end of the campaign. - Characters roll for HP beyond level 1, if the result is less than average, you may take the average result.
