Arcane Library - Valley of the Gilded Tower [Level 2 One Shot]

Dungeons & Dragons 5e | One-Shot

About the adventure

Baron Henrick Rennet's wife is dead. But she isn’t gone. The Baron believes he is being haunted by the ghost of his late wife, Eleanor. Bedridden and slowly going mad, he enlists you and a small group of adventurers to lay his late wife's ashes to rest. In doing so, he hopes to give Eleanor peace. What seems to be an easy task unravels as you enter the hauntingly beautiful Forest of the Painted Valley, where her final resting place, the Gilded Tower, lies. What unseen secrets and horrors await our adventures? Come find out as we explore The Valley of the Gilded Tower. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Are you new to D&D? Do you want to try it out but don't want to start a FULL campaign yet? Do you like roleplaying? If you answered yes to any of these, this is the game for you! Hi, my name is Ryan. I am a Los Angeles-based veteran Improvisor and newer DM looking for players like you! I encourage roleplaying and use my years of Improv experience in the game to keep it interesting, surprising, and FUN! So come along and join me for a few hours of spooky fun!

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.

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.
