Daggerheart Beast feast campaign(The Meal Plan)

About the adventure

Long ago, within the heart of the Plover Caves, Hylaeus the Forest Mage (she/her) cast a powerful spell, creating a Lure that draws dangerous creatures from the surrounding area into the caverns. For centuries, this kept any harm from coming to the village of Elmore. However, the caves are now filled to the brim with strange, unexpected creatures from across the region—and the remnants of outsiders brave or foolhardy enough to venture into them. But nobody from Elmore is foolish enough to be caught dead in the caves. The quiet, rustic village is full of bakers and weavers, farmers and cobblers, with ne’er a sword in sight. The villagers are more concerned about not mucking up their contribution to the yearly Stewpot Festival than the dangers outside their walls. That was until the village’s beloved halfling mayor Doug Dougle (he/him) was attacked by a dangerous creature during his daily hike through Plover Woods. The Lure created by Hylaeus all those years ago is fading, and with it, Elmore’s protection. As increasingly dangerous beasts stalk the woods, the villagers have banded together to reignite the ancient spell, calling on anyone who might pick up a blade to descend into the caves and save their people. Unfortunately, the defenseless people of Elmore have ceased hunting and foraging in Plover Woods for fear of attack until the Lure is reactivated—there isn’t much to spare, so every bite in town is precious. Anyone venturing into the caves will have to hunt and prepare their own food while they’re down there! After the attack on Mayor Dougle, the local alchemist, Carat (they/them), approaches the party. Worried for the safety of the town, they ask the party to delve into the Plover Caves to locate a particular ingredient—acid burrower blood. Carat can transmute twelve drops of this blood into a spicy paste, which they can spread around the borders of the village to temporarily keep dangerous creatures at bay. Carat explains the acid burrower tend to make their nests by flattening the tall grasses of the Overgrowth into strange circular patterns. To get to the Overgrowth, the party can follow the smell of jasmine through the northernmost chamber of the Shallows. But if they ever smell lavender—RUN. (I am running a Campaign in the Beast Feast campaign frame(inspired by shows like "delicious in dungeon":on netflix if you want to check it out in US) , when choosing a character add the beast feast campaign frame to the demiplane character creation option. You will need access to demiplane(I can share my rulebook for character creation) Discord for Voice and roll20 to link your demiplane character so you can see your dice rolls better. This game will be mostly theatre of the mind.
