One-Shot: The Monster Hunters
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | One-Shot
About the adventure
A glittering gala. A traitor among the elite. And something very, very big that just burst through the hull. You’ve been hired to expose a would-be betrayer during a grand masquerade aboard House Lyrandar’s greatest airship. Find the traitor, survive the scheming nobles, and maybe — just maybe — don’t get killed. Spoiler: You’re absolutely getting killed. Everyone dies. That’s the point. Get Ready: • Investigate a mystery while dodging suspicious guests and fending off chaos. • Watch the party spiral into delicious, absurd disaster. • Die heroically, stupidly, or stylishly — your choice. The Setting: A lavish flying ballroom. Velvet masks, spilled wine, whispered betrayals… and suddenly, a writhing monster that makes all your problems very small. Quick Details: • Level: 1 • Tone: Wild, frantic, hilarious, over-the-top • Death Rate: 100% (seriously) • New Players Welcome: No experience needed — just bring a sense of humor! This game leans into cartoonish violence and absurd comedy. We’ll check in on tone and comfort throughout to keep things fun for everyone. Come in costume (optional)! If you want, bring a silly in-character mask or costume idea — it’s a masquerade, after all.
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.
