Dark Whispers: The Wizards Gambit - Level 3 Adventure
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | One-Shot
About the adventure
In the heart of a bustling city your party encounters a mysterious figure. A subtle and enigmatic wizard, cloaked in shadows and secrets, quietly beckons for your aid amidst the stench of city life. His eyes are a blend of hope and dark desperation. He tells you a tale of a hidden danger and unspeakable power, he implores your group to liberate the artefact and restore balance to the world. But beware, for this quest is fraught with peril and shrouded in moral ambiguity.
Game style
Rule of Cool (RoC)
“Rule of Cool” emphasizes creative story beats over sticking to a system’s rules as written. Players have the ability to push the limits of the rules or even break core rule mechanics at times if the Game Master thinks it is interesting, fun, or cool enough.
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.
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.

Gameplay details
Though my play style is very light hearted, this session potentially involves a tough moral decision involving child abuse and murder. References to this will be kept at a high level without any vivid descriptions, but if you're unsure please discuss with me in advance.
