Danger in the Dripping Place | A D&D 2024 Space Opera One-Shot

About the adventure

Twelve years ago the Shoth landed on Primordia. The Shoth are a sentient race of oozing humanoids originating deep in the astral plane's darkest corner. Originally the Shoth posed no clear threat to the civilizations of Primordia. They began to collect a cult-like following, promising their members everlasting life by being assimilated into the Shoth society and becoming one themselves. Upon assimilation, their life experiences, wisdom, and skills are all uploaded into the zom, a communication device similar to a hivemind. Assimilation appears to be painless, a willing person steps into a pool of glowing pink ooze, known as a zolv, they emerge a minute later as a low-status Shoth called a sooze. Only after serving their god and namesake, The Shoth, for many years will one be allowed to obtain a higher rank in the Shoth society. The Shoth have stepped up recruitment lately and have chosen more aggressive tactics to gain more followers. They moved on to kidnapping, bribery, and blackmail to receive willing converts. Recently the Shoth have turned to violence overthrowing the city of Tubridge, holding its people hostage until a certain number of humanoids "volunteer" for assimilation. Over the years great minds have studied the Shoth looking for a way to stop them.
