The Tower Trials |10th lvl| Dungeon Crawl Through a Wizard Tower
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | One-Shot
About the adventure
That which our eyes do not see upon first glance is often that which we most need to know. ___________________________________________________ In legends and fairy tales abound, mages have been known to build great, illustrious towers to call home. Sanctums to their great, magical machinations which give them the solitude to not be bothered by the world, while offering the constant opportunity to look down upon it. While they weave their magics, those from below are forced to wonder and speculate at the great mysteries dwelling within; the unimaginable arcana that these great mages sow. What if you didn't have to wonder, though? What if you could get the chance to see that which the story books most taunt and titillate? What if you could open the door of mystery to reveal and revel in its secrets within? What if... ___________________________________________________ In this high magic, dungeon crawl-esque game, you will take on the roles of adventurers looking to make a name for themselves and learn more of the mysteries of the world. To do this, you embark together to defeat the Tower Trials, a manufactured wizard's tower of many threats, tribulations, and treasures. You will climb as many floors as you can, with the hope to make it to the tower's mysterious peak and retrieve its treasures; each floor holding intriguing and deadly obstacles for you to endure. Can you make it to the top? Can you best the Tower Trials? Or, will it claim you as its next victim? Art by: Matt Forsyth https://www.deviantart.com/mattforsyth

Great one-shot. Flavorful, challenging, and the best kind of rules-bound DMing that enables fun and fairness. Bravo!

He will always be known as the leprechaun dm to me ever since one of his amazing riddler npc. His voice acting is a key attribute and I loved his puzzles for extra loot. His combat was also well run and smooth even for a larger party.
