About the adventure
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.

About me
Hello, I'm Michelle I started playing and GMing TTRPGs more frequently back in 2018. It was around that time I played my first D&D Adventurers League game and I was hooked. The idea of having a character that could travel from one table to another and interact with this large immersive world, was really appealing to me. This is idea of larger than life stories has really influenced both my play and GM style. As dreadful as the pandemic was, the only thing I'm thankful for was the opportunity to experience so many virtual games. It was during this time I was really able to develop my skills as a GM with groups like Unite the Factions, AL Nordic and later Baldman Games. In addition to GMing I love writing both fiction and TTRPGS. I mostly write through DMS Guild, and my titles include Gold Best Seller Waterdeep: Kitten Rescue. (which I've had the absolute joy of seeing played by other GMs on Start Playing Games) I run mostly D&D 5e, and I'm a big Forgotten Realms dork. Waterdeep: Dragon Heist is my favourite hardcover adventure. Many of my campaigns and one shots draw inspiration from that storyline. I also think the Underdark is so neat, I love spiders and have pet tarantulas. Any day I get to create stories about cozy caves and geek out about spiders is a great day.
