Dungeons & Dragons 5e | One-Shot

About the adventure

This one shot is a fun little mystery for 3rd level adventurers! The party receives a letter from the mayor of Millswick, requesting their aid in ridding the village of a vile monster in the nearby woods. When the party arrives, the mayor is no where to be found... To track him down the party must investigate this little farming village to uncover the truth of the monster in the woods. A mixture of investigation, social roleplay with NPCs, and combat suitable for all players from the first timers to the seasoned dungeon divers!

How to prepare

We will play on Discord and DnD Beyond, and Webcams are preferred, but mics are needed! Don't worry about your familiarity with the rules, I am happy to help during the session.

What I provide

I will bring vivid descriptions, character voices, a fitting soundtrack, and custom maps. You bring a 3rd level character and have a good time! I am more than happy to help completely new players learn the ropes, or offer a fun adventure for veteran D&D players!

Gameplay details

This adventure has light folk and body horror themes, but is not meant to be disturbing or uncomfortable. This adventure is similar to official DnD one shots in terms of subject matter.
