About the adventure
Every story has a villain, and every villain has a lair. Do you have what it takes to venture forth into those dark and remote places Where Evil Lives? ~The Hanging Tree~ An infamous band of orcish mercenaries known as the the Ivory Throne have been wreaking havoc across the dales. Their merciless leader, Dohma Raskovar, has proven a difficult orc to pin down. Investigators have been searching for the Throne's hideout for weeks. Fresh evidence seems to lead to the Hanging Tree- a quiet roadside tavern. Could this innocuous alehouse be hiding a bloody secret? ~~~ We will use Roll20, (for its VTT) D&DBeyond (for its character sheets/content sharing) and Discord (for voice chatting.) Battlemaps, ambient music and dynamic lighting will be provided for immersive gameplay. LGBTQ+ and beginner friendly!

About me
(Games will be played using Roll20 for VTT, D&DBeyond for character sheets and content sharing and Discord for voice chat and logs) Add me: Xiaofang (Ben)#8856 Hello! My name is Benjamin. I have been playing D&D for a while, and have seriously started GMing since 2020! My love of literature means that crafting a compelling narrative driven by your character will be a top priority. My love of philosophy means that you will be given the space to explore ethical questions through your character's experiences. And finally, my experience as a teacher means that I'm already well used to preparing tailored content to engage groups for hours! I hope to roll with you soon!
