About the adventure
Power shifts in the city of Fournemouth. The deep web of high society moves in delicate and cunning silence. Nobles, Lords and Lady's, Business tyrants, and everything in between all move quickly to keep hold of whatever part of the city they control and taking more every chance they get. But when High Lord Griffin calls for a meeting with all the most powerful individuals in the city, several orders are passed down to adventurers for high-priced and well rewarded "bodyguards". Tension within the city grows as the final few strings before total rebellion begin to be tugged. Join this spin on the classic module. Set in a custom city filled with cunning villians, seedy theives, and hidden monsters. It will be an adventure filled with danger and intrigue, where alliances shift as swiftly as shadows and every choice could tip the scales of power. As you navigate the treacherous underbelly of Fournemouth, you'll encounter a cast of morally ambiguous characters, each with their own agendas and secrets. You'll be tasked with not only protecting your clients but also uncovering hidden plots that could reshape the city's future. Are you ready to step into the heart of a city on the brink of chaos and emerge with more than just your life?

Creating your character
Players will need to have a standard level 3 character prepared before session 1, discussion of which will be had at session 0. Stats can one of these three arrays. -The Specialist: 17 / 12 / 12 / 11 / 10 / 10 -The Mad Man: 15 / 15 / 14 / 11 / 11 /10 -The Razzle Dazzle: 13 / 13 / 13 / 13 / 13 / 13 All standard books are acceptable, but please confirm with me before going with any homebrew. Character sheets can be kept on DND beyond, in pdf form, or directly in the foundry campaign as long as I have a copy.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Before joining a session, make sure your microphone is working and is connected to discord. A webcam can be used but is not required. Make sure your character sheet is complete before session 1. No need to have a complete character for session 0 but do have some ideas in mind. Please join my discord when you're ready to join https://discord.gg/Qqm4HC4jgD
What Neemster brings to the table
We will be playing out of the Foundry virtual table-top. I build all of my campaigns on custom maps I make myself. Characters can be stored in any fashion that you desire, as long as I have a copy, and you are comfortable rolling in the text chat or through macros of your character sheet. During the game I prefer to have my camera on to emote more with the characters I'm playing, but no players are required to be on camera as long as you have a working microphone. I utilize discord music player to set the mood with ambient and battle music, and have sound effects to add a little flair to you and your enemies actions. My style leans to the role-play side of things, I want you and your characters to grow and have immersive experiences. So while rules are written to be followed, I will always side with roleplay over ruleplay. Everyone's "Fun" at the table comes before anything else.
