Echoes from Below - Weekly D&D Hades Campaign!
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign
About the adventure
This story begins with a group of highly acclaimed adventurers, praised as the strongest to ever call the city of Himdale home. You've been enjoying your time resting since your last campaign, but abruptly you're once again called to action as a mysterious and ferocious beast attacks your city. You and your companions stand against a massive, rot filled monster that you successfully take down... but at a great cost. After the battle you awaken in a strange place filled with the smell of blood and rot, remembering little more than your own name. Do you have the resilience to cling to your memories and climb your way out of Hades? Or would you let your very soul rot away like the hollowed around you... š¹ - Traverse and conquer the realm Daemons and wicked beings call home š° - Explore the new Bastion rules and create the perfect stronghold for you and your party! š ļø - Utilize forgotten war machines and hellish technology from the blood war! This is a weekly campaign revolving primarily around Hades and it's three layers: Oinos, NIflheim and Pluton. Your main goal will be to escape from Hades with your newfound knowledge and to find a way to keep the whispering rot of the underworld from destroying your memories in the process. It's expected to take 20 to 30 2-3 hour sessions to complete, and end back at around 15th level. Any experience level is absolutely welcome! I love teaching the game to new people and believe this story can be a great introduction to Dungeons & Dragons. I have nothing against homebrew and am always happy to entertain ideas for any unique character idea you're cooking up, just shoot me a message!

How will character creation work
D&DBeyond Campaign Link: https://www.dndbeyond.com/campaigns/join/64409214228758021 Characters will start at 15th level, and quickly be brought down to 5th level. - Point Buy Ability Scores - Milestone Leveling - Standard Starting equipment - 1 free uncommon magic item or +1 weapon - Everyone starts with a free feat unless you start as variant human or take a background that provides a feat/spells. - Every race/class is a-OK Your characters are the "Heros of Himdale" a smaller city in the Material Plane (the normal world). Your story/lore are fairly unrestricted, feel free to go crazy with whatever story you have in mind! Since you're technically starting at 15th level, it would make sense if your character had some experience and achievement under their belt. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to shoot me a message I'll respond ASAP!
