Secrets of the Amber Temple ~ A Dark and Dreadful Dungeon

Dungeons & Dragons 5e | One-Shot

About the adventure

Nested in the mountains, far from civilisation, is a place known only as the Amber Temple. For those who are willing to bargain their souls, the Amber Temple is said to grant them powers alike to those of gods. The power to see truth, the power to bend the wills of others... even the power to conquer death. Yet all manner of monster protect the Temple's coveted gifts. Of those who have sought the Temple out, vanishingly few have returned. And those that did return... were changed. You dare to tread the halls of the Amber Temple. But why? To seal away the darkness that lives there? Or... to harness it? ~~~ Secrets of the Amber Temple is a deadly dungeon one-shot for those with some D&D5E experience under their belts. We will use Roll20, (for its VTT) D&DBeyond (for its character sheets/content sharing) and Discord (for voice chatting.) Detailed battlemaps, ambient music and dynamic lighting will be provided for immersive gameplay. LGBTQ+ friendly.

Gameplay details

The Amber Temple is a difficult dungeon packed with dangerous enemies. Some can be reasoned and bargained with, others not so much. It is highly recommended that you have some experience before playing.
