Corroding Frost | Rebirth in Ice and Venom | Levels 1-14
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign
About the adventure
THE ICE WILL SWALLOW THE WEAK. WILL YOU STAND AGAINST IT—OR RULE WITHIN IT? ❄️ Thalric Grimviel’s vision is clear: a world reforged in frost and venom, where only the strongest endure. Beneath the ice, primordial magic festers, spreading venomous corruption that fuels his ruthless dominion. ❄️ 💀 Now, his body is failing—but his will is eternal. Thalric’s ascension into a Demilich is nearly complete, shattering the limits of mortality itself. To stop him is to challenge an entity that has already transcended death. 💀 WHAT AWAITS YOU: 🌊 Brave frozen wastelands where the very land poisons those too weak to survive. ⚔️ Battle relentless undead warriors, bound by Thalric’s venomous will—soldiers who will not die until their purpose is fulfilled. 💀 Uncover the secrets of a world where ice and venom weave a new order, where strength alone dictates survival. ❄️ Stand at the crossroads of fate: resist the coming frost—or embrace the power within it. The land of Girindev is a frozen graveyard, but from its icy depths rises Thalric’s dominion—a future where only the ruthless endure. Through ancient power, he seeks to remake life and death itself, forging an empire that crushes the weak beneath its glacial rule. Now, as his body withers, he sheds his mortal shell, embracing undeath as a Demilich. His mind will outlive flesh, his soul bound to the frozen void. He will not stop until his vision is complete—a world where only the unyielding remain. To fight him is to defy nature itself. To stand with him is to reshape the world in his image. As ice and venom seep into the fabric of existence, will you be the force that stops his reign—or the hand that helps build it?
Game style
Rules as Written (RaW)
Games that are ran “Rules as Written” emphasize realism and stick to the letter of the rules, allowing players to explore creative solutions while still operating under a consistent rule set. Players have the ability to utilize the rules in creative ways to create awesome characters and moments in the game.
Dungeon Crawl
A “Dungeon Crawl” is a scenario where players navigate a dungeon or labyrinth-like environment for the entirety of the adventure. It emphasizes battling monsters, collecting loot, and avoiding traps to survive to the end!
Combat Heavy
“Combat Heavy” games emphasize the combat mechanics within their systems over roleplay or puzzle solving. There are frequent and longer battles with enemies and a greater emphasis on tactical game play.
Roleplay Heavy
“Roleplay Heavy” games place the focus on the story, the characters, and the world they live within, and tend to lean hard into the various roleplaying elements of the game. These games will frequently find the party talking with NPCs, exploring the personal elements of their backstories, or even having emotional moments around the camp fire.
🌀 Joining the adventure late? No problem! If you enter the party mid-campaign, you have the option of a 1-on-1 one-shot session to seamlessly integrate your character into the overarching plot. This session will help establish your character’s backstory, motivations, and connections, ensuring a smooth and immersive transition into the main story. Let me know if you'd like to set one up!

Gameplay details
This campaign introduces survival mechanics that challenge not just your combat abilities but your resourcefulness. In the perilous lands of venom and ice, you will need to carefully manage supplies, navigate treacherous terrain, and make difficult decisions to stay alive. Harsh weather, a venomous environment, and unpredictable enemies will test your endurance. As you advance, your ability to adapt to these survival elements will determine your success, adding a layer of tension and realism that deepens the story and enhances replayability. Lines and Veils will be discussed during Session 0 to ensure everyone is comfortable with the content available in this campaign, and we will go over everyone's X's, N's and O's to guarantee a safe and enjoyable environment!
