They ransack and pillage, hunting for the last key to their evil ritual, the Book of Cylinders. The Grippli despair, unable to drive the Yuan-ti out of their swamp. Unknown to them however, there is hope. The Pond Mother has escaped the village, and employed a courageous band of adventurers to save the Grippli, and stop the dark ritual.

Creating your character
Currently Heroic Quests does not use the 2024 Players Handbook. Heroic Quests will begin using the 2024 Players Handbook when Foundry VTT automation tools have integrated it. I will send you a link to the D&D Beyond campaign in which you can create your character. All Heroic Quests do not allow the following character options: Tieflings, Warlocks, Twilight and Peace Domain Clerics, Ecco Knights, Chronurgy Magic Wizards, and Moon Druids. Players can choose to generate their ability scores with the point buy method, or by using the rolling method with the GM present, allowing them to re roll one ability score. For this Heroic Quest, in addition to a characters starting equipment, they can begin with: 🗹 Two uncommon consumable magic items. 🗹 One common item. 🗹 One uncommon magic item. Experienced players are free to create their character on their own through D&D Beyond following the above guidelines and the homebrew rules found in the Heroic Quests Discord server. Characters created in this way need GM approval before being added to the adventure. All players are offered a free session 0 to help create their characters and establish expectations for the adventure. Session 0's for one-shots are done one on one, while session 0's for campaigns are done with the whole group present. Character creation and advancement is done through D&D Beyond. The characters are then brought into Foundry VTT. Furthermore, any players who have completed their session 0 and are new to Dungeons and Dragons 5e or Foundry VTT, are offered an additional tutorial session free of charge. This session takes around 15 minutes, and is used to help the player learn some of the core rules of Dungeons and Dragons and important controls for Foundry VTT. This way new players can hit the ground running during session 1.
