About the adventure

**Love is in the air—and in the depths of a ruined citadel!** In "Love Locked in Iron," a lovestruck troll named Mauugh has returned to terrorize the region surrounding Aldua. With a twisted desire for romance, Mauugh has kidnapped Alya Finch, the daughter of a wealthy merchant, and encased her in an enchanted suit of iron—a bridal prison designed to shield her from his cursed touch. Now, the fate of a family and the delicate balance of the region hang in the balance. Hired by a concerned merchant, Matteo Finch, your party must venture from the bustling city of Aldua into the eerie expanse of the Kelmari Badlands, where the remnants of a necromancer’s ruined citadel serve as Mauugh’s lair. Along your perilous journey, you’ll face off against a quirky band of masked wererats—the Fang Gang—and elemental constructs known as the Fireborn, all while solving puzzles and navigating deadly traps. This one-shot adventure blends dungeon crawl, witty humor, and high-stakes rescue into a uniquely themed experience that’s perfect for players who crave both challenge and a lighthearted twist on the classic rescue mission. Ready to defy fate, challenge a lovestruck troll, and free Alya from her iron bonds? Gather your party, roll your dice, and dive into an adventure where romance and danger collide in a celebration of unconventional heroism!

Character creation

Creating your character

Character creation will need to occur in DnD Beyond prior to game start time. If you do not have a DnD Beyond account, you may create one for free at dndbeyond.com. Upon joining the adventure, you will be sent a welcome email that will include a DnD Beyond Campaign link; please join the campaign so that I can properly view your character sheet. All characters will be Level 7 for this adventure. Character Preferences - Sources: Please disable Homebrew, we will be favoring 2014 rules over 2024 for the sake of automation within Foundry. - Partnered Content: You may use Critical Role character and class options, otherwise please disable any other Partnered Content for this one-shot. - Dice Rolling: Whatever you like. We will be rolling within the Foundry VTT for this adventure but I will have the Beyond 20 module enabled if you prefer to roll in DDB. - Optional Features: I personally love these and welcome them, but they can be a bit overwhelming for newcomers. Up to you. - Advancement Type: N/A - Hit Point Type: Fixed is easiest for one-shots, but you may manually roll if you're fine with sending me proof of your rolls prior to game time. - Use Prerequisites: Yes to both. - Show Level-Scaled Spells: Up to you. - Encumbrance Type: Disable for one-shots. - Ignore Coin Weight: N/A - Character Privacy: PUBLIC. This is extremely important as its how I import your character over from DnD Beyond into Foundry VTT. Standard Array will be used for stats to ensure quick building and ease of balance.

What Dylan - Stolen Velvet brings to the table

**Relaxed & Engaging Gameplay** At the heart of every session is pure fun. I believe Dungeons & Dragons is collaborative storytelling at its finest, and I work hard to create a light, encouraging environment where every player can shine—whether you're new to the game or a seasoned veteran. **Premium Game Resources** I bring an extensive, ever-growing library to our table—over $1000 worth of digital and physical content from D&D Beyond, DMs Guild, Wizards of the Coast, and select third-party publishers. We play on Foundry Virtual Tabletop, enhanced with exquisite maps from The MAD Cartographer, Cze and Peku, Cassastereo, James' RPG Art, and many other talented Patreon creators. Our adventures are further enriched by immersive audio landscapes provided by both Monument Studios and Michael Ghelfi Studios. **Dynamic Gameplay Elements** Expect a balanced mix of swift, engaging combat, clever puzzles with multiple solutions, and rich, immersive social interactions. I embrace the "rule of cool" over strict adherence to rules, ensuring your daring ideas get the spotlight while the journey remains both thrilling and flexible. Let's create epic moments together!

Safety

How Dylan - Stolen Velvet creates a safe table

Commitment to a Safe and Enjoyable Experience -Respectful Session Timing: All sessions are designed to never exceed 4 hours, unless there's unanimous agreement to extend. The adventure includes a 15-minute break to ensure comfort and focus. - Ongoing Communication: I believe in the power of feedback to create the best gaming experience. All players are welcome to message me privately if they are experiencing any issues. If I detect any hint of discomfort or disconnect, I will reach out privately to check in. - Handling Boundaries with Care: We treat each other with respect, and any breach of established boundaries is taken seriously. Minor issues may result in a brief timeout for reflection, while significant or repeated breaches might lead to a group discussion regarding potential removal from the adventure. Your comfort and safety are my top priorities. - Zero Tolerance for Discrimination: There is absolutely no tolerance for out-of-character discrimination or hate speech. This includes racism, homophobia, xenophobia, and any form of sexual violence. Breaching these principles leads to immediate removal from the session and potentially the campaign, depending on the severity of the offense. - Join Us for a Respectful and Thrilling Adventure: Together, we'll navigate the rich and intricate mystery of "Love Locked in Iron", ensuring a memorable and respectful experience for all adventurers.
