About the adventure
A strange aura now resonates near the northeastern edge of the Semberholme Forest, approximately 30 hours after the cataclysm event resulting in 3 Moons now occupying the night's sky and dawn has still not arrived. Goblins from a local tribe have randomly gone missing without a trace of their whereabouts. Yet rumors of a strange place filled with an eerie aura and lights had been spreading recently...A circus. This unexplored attraction has rallied the suspicion of Queen Rylopena, leader of the goblin tribe known as Zhovic. New word from nearby Goblin, Hobgoblin, and Bugbear tribes suggest that this is not just some random occurrence for they too have had random tribal members go missing. In hope of quickly finding the source of this problem, an agreement had been made between the three tribes to investigate this circus to find and bring back those that have gone missing. Each player will choose between one of the following species to play as: ⚔️Goblin ⚔️Hobgoblin ⚔️Bugbear

About me
Peace to everyone, I started playing D&D at a very young age thanks to my brother who introduced D&D to me. I've been a dungeon master since my late teens and I'm currently in my early forties. I started out playing the D&D 2E(Thac0 hell) right before it got revised in 1995. then later to 2E Revised but I was saved when D&D 3.0 released, which is when the D&D life began to make sense which morphed later into D&D heaven (3.5). Later I dabbled into 4.0 then Pathfinder but decided to only DM using 3.5 rules. Then I jumped into 5E late in it's years which was sort of refreshing for early level casters. I enjoy being a dungeon master because of the joint storytelling and role playing aspects that bring life to the D&D experience, while ensuring a fun and peaceful environment. It's always nice to encourage players to come together with a common goal.

Creating your character
D&D beyond will be used to create your actual character. All characters will begin at level 5. Character stats will be rolled on my Discord server using Avrae, a total of seven stats will be rolled three times minus the lowest number to help produce some decent stats.
Aside from the fact that dawn has not yet arrived after at least 30 hours of night, the goblins, hobgoblins and bug bears have received word of the temporary peace treaty agreed upon by the leaders of each goblinoid tribe neighboring each other. An eerie silence amongst the forest has been quite consistent throughout your march to the meeting point. There's no sound of any animals, only the wind and the clatter of footsteps can be heard. Tribal banners are held high as the horde battalion of at least 100 gobinoids from each tribe have set out to a meeting point where volunteers will have the opportunity to prove themselves by retrieving their missing horde members. Who will be the bravest among them to step forward? (Warning: There's a clown present🤪)

What The holder brings to the table
Peace to everyone, I first bring 27+ years of DM experience which was mostly of DnD 3.5 edition which includes great story telling/weaving. Then I ensure a non-metagaming atmosphere making it easy for players to stay in character. We'll be using DnD beyond for character building + VTT maps. Most of the content we use will be Homebrew. I will be using character voices with ambient music in the background. Voice chat is required by everyone through the Discord application. Speaking of Homebrew, this particular 1 Shot is custom made within the realm of an ongoing custom made evil campaign created by me called: 3🌛(Moons). Yes you read that correctly...Evil campaign! And I know exactly how to get it done the right way 😁. This 1 shot will consist of mainly neutral aligned players. Also, I do have certain Homebrew style custom mechanics that I will discuss with those attending during our zero session. I do not allow metagaming because I want all players to emerge in the game through the capacity of their characters which creates a unique experience for everyone attending. But let's discuss what's truly important...😊FUN FUN FUN😊... Need I say more? Having fun and socializing in a peaceful atmosphere with a bunch of deranged minds🤪 while playing the game that we all love: 🔥Dungeons and Dragons🔥 And that's what this is all about✅
