About the adventure
The earth beneath Leya felt unusually warm. She reached down to confirm and pulled back in pain immediately. Her feathers were seared slightly. The season had been unusually dry, but this was a frightening temperature. After a closer look, it seemed like the ground was glowing. CRACK! Leya's eyes went to the sound. The large tree she'd played in as a child had fallen, and smoke rose from its remains. "Go!" her mind yelled, and she listened, rushing towards home. "Get to them before—" Suddenly, flames burst forth, travelling at an unearthly velocity towards Leya's perch. Her perch meant the world to her, but in the vast expanse of the Wood it was small and unimportant. Too insignificant for a Perch Guard outpost of its own. Her heart tightened knowing the remote settlement wouldn't be warned in time, and that aid would not be close by. Leya's hands began to move without thought as she whispered the words of her grandmother. It wouldn't be enough, but she wouldn't be able to live with herself if she didn't try. When taught to her, the spell was meant to help farms through rainless seasons. It wasn't intended to be used defensively. Droplets of a lost cause formed between her fingers. Conjured water fell to the ground, evaporating as soon as it hit the steaming forest floor. As she concentrated, a strong warm gust touched Leya's face. It's Altus, it must be! Leya thought. The Amaranthine of storms was bringing rain to quench this hateful wildfire. She looked to the sky, frantically searching for more signs of changing weather. Barely able to register what she saw, her arms dropped to her sides in defeat. Flying balls of fire were filling up the sky. A swarm broke off, headed in her direction. Leya sank to her knees, hoping with her last thoughts that someone would save Humblewood before it all burned.

Creating your character
Alternate Rolling Method: I have a preferred method for rolling stats, but I’m flexible. We can choose any stat generation method, as long as it’s standardized across the party. Inclusive Content: You’re free to use all of 5e’s official content, including the 2024 rules, as well as third-party classes and the character options from the Humblewood setting. Bring Concepts: Come with a couple of character concepts in mind. Together, we'll generate stats and decide which sources to include. This collaborative approach ensures each character is uniquely tailored and fits seamlessly into our ancient and mysterious world. Let's make your heroes memorable!
