Dungeons & Dragons 5e | One-Shot

About the adventure

# The Heiress of Hollow Hill ## One-Shot Adventure (4-5 hours) *The strange tales of Duror Island have long been dismissed as sailors' superstitions. Few travelers ever reach its misty shores, and fewer still return with their wits intact...* Your characters have taken on what seemed like a simple job: guard a shipment of exotic bananas bound for the mainland. But when the merchant refuses to pay you in anything but the very fruit you were hired to protect, you find yourselves stranded on a remote island with nothing but your equipment and several bunches of rapidly ripening bananas. Just as desperation sets in, salvation appears in the form of Eve Duror – a peculiarly formal child who approaches your group with an unusually generous offer. That is when she takes you to her manor on Hollow Hill. But something isn't right on Hollow Hill... What secrets lie buried in the Duror family history? Character Level: 4

Just played a one-shot with Colette. She was great at setting the mood and keeping the story moving. She was good at explaining how to navigate Roll20 for a new player. I loved the fact that she knew the rules well--it really helps when players want to try something and the DM knows how to adjudicate-- but she also knows when to allow for the rule of cool.

Colette is tons of fun. (: She is always animated and excited to be guiding you through a story. She enjoys mixing things up with homebrew and has created her own campaigns from scratch. Always encourages out of the box thinking and solutions.

Colette is one of the most fun DM's I've ever played 5e with. She always balances the intensity of combat with the desire to create the most satisfying story possible. She was always willing to work with us players to maximize our agency within the fascinating worlds she built for us to explore. She always worked hard to make every session a good time for our group as well. Highly recommended!

Colette is so awesome. Over Christmas she ran a great one shot campaign for my girlfriend and I, I was a halforc sneakthief rouge, my girlfriend was a nonverbal golden retriever paladin who licked people to use lay hands and heal. It was awesome and we had so much fun. Colette is very imaginative and versatile to handle such a scenario and make it entertaining!

Colette is a creative storyteller with a unique style of guiding players through her campaign. There's always something interesting going on in the background of her worlds. If you're looking for a new experience then I'd 100% recommend Colette

Colette has incredibly colorful and vibrant choices in her worlds and settings, and I've seen her handle every range of player from the reserved and uncertain first-timer, to seasoned vets, to the manic murdersex hobo all with aplomb. She is very much the take-a-crazy idea and run with it type, and she goes out of her way to make sure others feel comfortable and engaged. If you are feeling insecure in your ideas or your acceptance, I encourage you to take a chance on Colette.

How to prepare

This is a horror-mystery one-shot that rewards investigation and careful observation. Bring characters who would be motivated by both money and curiosity.

What I provide

I am very much a dm who emphasizes player agency. If the party wants to go off the rails, I will let you and I will adapt.
