Lovely day in Luskan: A Waterdeep Dragon Heist themed Adventure
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | One-Shot
About the adventure
The City of Sails is known to be a place of pirates and ruffians, but this particularly day in Luskan is a holiday. Every ship in the harbor and nearly every building in the city is glittering with magical lights, lanterns, or candles. To conclude the festival a grand firework display is planned. All financed of course by the generosity of Beniago Kurth the High Captains of Luskan. Some see this festival as a bid to impress the Lords' Alliance a powerful political and economic union of city states along the sword coast. On this the the last day of the Harbor Lights Festival many shops and businesses have closed to host staff parties, however packages still need to be delivered and you've all been hired to deliver shipments previously delayed by poor weather. It might not be the sort of work you like, but at a wage of 100gp each you're willing to be courier for a day. Inspired by Waterdeep: Dragon Heist and the Legend of Drizzt Series this one shot adventure is a cozy visit to the usually blood drenched streets of Luskan.
Game style
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.
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.

How will character creation work
Players will need to create a 10th level character prior to the adventure. You can use any character creation method listed in the Players Handbook or Tasha's Cauldron of Everything. For player options you're welcome to use any 5e book. Many will be available via Roll20 if you choose to make your character there. As we will be visiting Luskan, you're welcome to make a character with ties to Bregan D'aerthe, the Host Tower, The Ships, or any other Forgotten Realms Faction. If you prefer to use a pre-generated character. There will be options available in the Roll 20 room.
