About the adventure
More than five hundred years ago, clans of dwarves and gnomes made an agreement known as the Phandelver's Pact, by which they would share a rich mine in a wondrous cavern known as Wave Echo Cave. In addition to its mineral wealth, the mine contained great power. Human spellcasters allied themselves with the dwarves and gnomes to channel and bind that energy into a great forge, called the Forge of Spells, where magic items could be crafted. Times were good, and the nearby town of Phandalin prospered as well. But then disaster struck when orcs swept through the North and laid waste to all in their path. In the resulting conflict, the Forge of Spells was destroyed, and the location of Wave Echo Cave was lost. For centuries, rumors of buried riches have attracted treasure seekers and opportunists to the area around Phandalin, but no one has ever succeeded in locating the lost mine- that is, until now. The Rockseeker brothers - a trio of dwarves - have discovered the entrance to Wave Echo Cave, and they intend to open the mines. Unfortunately for the Rockseekers, they are not the only ones interested in Wave Echo Cave. - Beginner player friendly! - Character driven, exciting roleplay - Strong narrative storytelling and worldbuilding - Uses voice acting skills to bring NPCs to life - Engaging combat, everyone gets to do something cool - Uses background music to enhance gameplay/atmosphere

About me
Hi, I'm Athena. I'm 26, female, and queer, with a love for my cats, videogames, and tabletop roleplaying games. I've been playing D&D since 2017, and it's a hobby and an obsession that has only gotten stronger over time. I've run enough games and campaigns to know how to make sure everyone has a good time, and I can only get better through practice. I'm happy to learn about your characters, figure out what excites you about the world or the story, and just run hog-wild with it. I like roleplay and character driven stories, and my favorite official campaign is Curse of Strahd. Definitely related, my favorite D&D realm is Ravenloft, with the Domains of Dread being a particular fascination of mine. Fun fact: the first campaign I ever played in was called Oops! All Bards, and everyone was a bard.

How AthenaxVio creates a safe table
Details and gameplay will be discussed over the Session 0, character creation can also be done here but doesn't have to be. Expectations for the game and rules will be discussed so that everyone feels comfortable during play and can have a fun time. Absolutely no bullying, sexual harassment, racism, hate speech, queerphobia, or prejudice will be tolerated. Any player that engages in these behaviors will get one (1) warning, and if the behavior continues you will be kicked from the game and you will not receive a refund. There will be a mandatory 10 minute break halfway through the session for bathroom, refilling drinks, snacks, etc. but always feel free to ask for a break at any time. I have an optional feedback survey for the end of the adventure.
