The 15:17 to Sharn: An Eberron Story

Dungeons & Dragons 5e | One-Shot

About the adventure

House Orien has opened a new lightning rail in the city of Sharn. The grand opening is this morning and your party has been hired as extra security. There's been a threat of an attack on the rail from an unknown source with the only clues being a message received by the member of the House in charge of the opening, your associate and employer, Salazar d'Orien. The message, stored within a sending stone, stated only, in a distorted voice that this rail would be the "first to fail." Salazar isn't taking any chances and hires you on immediately. This grand opening is his opportunity to raise his stature in his House and he's determined to rise in the ranks. Expect a high fantasy, high magic, high action style of gameplay. Eberron is a setting full of wild and crazy magitech devices and pulp hijinks, so players should be prepared to encounter over-exaggerated plot points and drama. Enjoy a hardy helping of combat and roleplay opportunities, mystery and intrigue. Create a level 3 character using a mix of old and new rules. Can choose from the list of Eberron species and subclasses. Any official material is welcome. Start with uncommon and a common magic items.

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.
