Ashes of the Hollow | A Humblewood Tale
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign
About the adventure
Navigate the burning heart of Humblewood, where an ancient curse threatens to consume everything in its path. Emberhollow, once a vibrant woodland burrow, now smolders in ruins - a grim testament to an elemental fury awakening from centuries of slumber. As the ashen plague spreads and the Avium Council debates, a lone Jerbeen survivor arrives with a cryptic wooden talisman, whispering of a forbidden discovery buried beneath the devastated settlement. The Scorched Grove expands inch by inch, transforming lush forests into barren wastelands, while emberbat clouds swarm beyond their natural territories Can you unravel the mysteries of Emberhollow before the flames consume everything? Will you restore balance to the woodland, or become another story whispered around dying campfires? The fate of an entire ecosystem rests in your hands.
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.

How to prepare
Players should have the following: - access to a webcam/mic - a dndbyond account (for building characters and accessing the campaign and map/VTT) - a discord account (for playing the game) - dice (virtual or physical)
What I provide
I will provide the dndbeyond campaign which has content sharing available so anything I own you can have access to as well, a discord server where we will play the game. I have a music bot in the server that will provide some nice background music and the occasional sound effect. I am a big believer and practitioner of the Rule of Cool and the "yes and" philosophy. Players can expect a rules light, roleplay heavy experience that focus on telling a good story.
