Grim Hollow: Riddles in the Dark

Grim Hollow: Riddles in the Dark

Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign

About the adventure

Step into a realm yearning for champions. This richly layered landscape, set in the Grim Hollow setting on the world of Etharis, is steeped in history, teeming with culture, and fraught with conflict. As players navigate this intricate world, they will grapple for each hard-earned triumph and grieve every setback, all while the environment itself pushes back against their efforts. Amidst this darkness, an ancient fortress beckons, rumored to be filled with lost treasures and haunting secrets. Adventurers are drawn to its foreboding presence, compelled by tales of its malevolent forces that threaten the surrounding lands. As they explore its perilous halls, they will confront strange creatures, unravel intricate puzzles, and discover the intertwined fates of the citadel and its past. Each choice will shape not only their journey but the very essence of this shadowy world.

How to prepare

I regularly check-in with my players and tailor the adventures to meet their needs and ensure everyone has an amazing experience. A typical session will be everyone joining the Discord voice channel, and then joining the Foundry VTT link a few minutes before the start to load the map and have some time for social chat. After everyone is situated and ready to go then we will jump right into the game. Exploration and Roleplay will be large portions of the game as well as Combat, but these things will be tuned to meet everyone's needs.
