About the adventure
On the eve of the winter solstice, within the frontier village of Rybalka our adventurers find themselves ensnared in the malevolent grasp of House Gullion's drow forces. Their nefarious intent unfolds with a dual purpose: firstly, to pilfer the villages ancient artifact, hurling Rybalka into pandemonium. Secondly, to snatch a myriad of mortal souls, shackling them in servitude as offerings to the an ominous artifact concealed in the depths of the Underdark, nestled within the accursed Dark Elven City of Spiders. A meticulous orchestration composed by Drow slavers, their cunning strategies envision the imminent arrival of Upperworld champions, drawn forth as inevitable saviors, unwittingly ensuring a bountiful harvest of captives destined for the nefarious rites beneath the umbral canopies of The Drow city. As the pall of darkness descends upon Rybalka, the stage is set for a harrowing tale where the boundaries between heroism and despair blur in the cold, eldritch embrace of the winter night.

Creating your character
Character creation will happen through D&D beyond or even through the Foundry VTT application itself. I will also help anyone who needs it with character creation. If you get confused on any step I can build your character and stream the process over discord as you tell me exactly what you want and I can give any advice if needed. Keep in mind with your backstory that you need to be going to the city of Rybalka on the night of the winter solstice to meet a dwarf named Miah of Embla about a job requesting powerful adventurers. I keep an open door policy!
Wanted: Brave Souls to Join a Journey into the Depths of Darkness Prepare to Descend into the Shadows... The Underdark churns with horrors unknown, where the ever-present shadows seethe with the twisted machinations of demon lords and blood-hungry drow. Our party, four legendary heroes battle-worn and weary, have fought their way through the winding tunnels, risking life and limb against fiendish horrors summoned from the Abyss itself. Now, they arrive at Embla, the Dwarven City of Lights, a beacon of dwarven might in a sea of darkness. But even this bastion of a city shudders as the tides of evil dark elves rise. The Drow, no longer mere shadowed stalkers, have rallied armies, igniting a brutal campaign of conquest that sweeps across the surface and below. Cities fall, swallowed by their legions, as the Demon Lords of the Abyss such as Demogorgon and Orcus themselves walk the caverns of the Underdark, bringing ruin to all who dare resist. The very walls of Embla echo with fear as our heroes call for aid. The dwarves can no longer fight alone, and neither can we. What We Seek: We need adventurers of indomitable spirit and unparalleled courage to join us. Allies, warriors, mages, and souls unafraid of facing the horrors that only darkness knows. From fiendish drow generals to the abyssal powers themselves, our path will be perilous beyond words. Homebrew will be allowed as long as it is balanced and pre approved by DM (Fair warning most our players are active soldiers so theirs a bit of dark humor 18+) Do you dare step into the darkness? Our Path Forward: This journey isn’t for the faint-hearted. The road is long, from here to the rise of our legend. Together, we will traverse the blackened heart of the Underdark, face the drow’s deadly vanguard, and confront the Demon Lords themselves. Only those unafraid to confront the unknown, the terrifying, and the otherworldly need apply. This is no simple mission; this is a calling for those who seek to shape the world, to end a nightmare, and to be remembered as heroes. This is more than a battle; this is a war for the fate of the realms. Will you join us?
What to expect
Preparing for the session
All you will need is a stable internet connection and the Discord application to communicate as foundry will be launched via a web browser link I will send at the start of the game. We will build our characters together as a group but its fine to think up character concepts
What Nick Wilder brings to the table
I bring through the Foundry VTT module a way to roll dice, view maps and character tokens, with various animations and effects for attacks and spells. We use discord for our VC. I will be doing a lot of funny voices to bring the NPCs to life around you. I also bring Ambience background music for combat and other locations for immersive roleplay opportunities.
