[Beginner One-Shot][DND 5e] The Price of Gold
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | One-Shot
About the adventure
π‘ The Price of Gold is a mystery-focused D&D 5e adventure set in the glittering and dangerous city of Ravenvault! π‘ Play as hired mercenaries under contract to protect a noble threatened with assassination and uncover the truth behind the plot. π‘ Explore a multicultural city divided by class and power, from the marbled Inner Ring to the desperate Outer Ring. π‘ Interview suspects, gather clues, and make difficult choices as you investigate secrets lurking beneath golden wealth. The Price of Gold offers a low-combat, high-roleplay experience thatβs perfect for beginners or anyone looking to dive deep into a suspenseful narrative. You wonβt need any prior experience, just curiosity, a sharp mind, and a willingness to help shape the story. If you love mystery, roleplaying, and a good ethical dilemma, Ravenvault is calling. Ready to protect a city thatβs rotting from within? Letβs solve this together. βΛ β§ βββββ±ββ°ββββ β§ βΛ Here are some of what my players have said about my table! π "Kendrick is an experienced DM who is always on the player's side. He cares about his player's backstories and helping them complete their narrative arcs during gameplay. He has a thorough understanding of the rules, but more importantly understands when they need to be bent for the betterment of the table." - Aaron π "I've been playing at Kendrick's table for about a year now. He's been great at making NPCs feel real, and creating interesting and complex encounters, whether in combat or roleplay! He's also managed to survive DMing a combat with just about 10 players, and not only survive but managed to make each person's actions still shine individually!" - Adrien π "Ken is an amazing dm who really knows how to get players invested in the campaign. The settings and mood is set in a way that makes you feel as though you are actually there yourself. They create different voices and vibes for any NPCs and they are extremely helpful and patient with beginner players such as myself. They helped me understand the moves I could do and helped me remember anything that I may have forgotten. They are an amazing dm and I always look forward to the weekly DnD campaigns." - Gretchen π "My first ever GM and he is the absolute best!! Helped me build my first character, was super welcoming and understanding when I first started playing d&d and had no idea what I was doing." - Machaila π "Kendrick is one of those DMs who makes sure everyone is heard. Their sessions are always in-depth and allow for constant player engagement while painting a vivid fantasy world that feels alive and reactive. Whether through dynamic NPCs, rich lore, or clever plot twists, Kendrick always ensures the players' choices matter. They're attentive, adaptive, and create a space where every player, no matter their playstyle, feels valued and immersed. Couldn't recommend them more!" - Justin
