About the adventure
The skies are squawking. The catacombs are pulsing. The apocalypse is gobbling. Deep beneath the quiet town of Berdusk, in endless tunnels, something ancient and unspeakable has hatched. The Mind Flayers have birthed a new brain parasite—Avian Flayers—twisted fowl infected with psionic horror, sprouting tentacles and hungering for humanoid brains. The Mother Egg has awakened. Her psychic yolk seeps into dreams. Her brood spreads through the wilds. And the heroes? They're caught in the open, hunted by flurkey flocks and stalked by the whispers of the Deep. You’ll play as desperate survivors, unlikely champions, and brain-battered wanderers trying to stop the spread before Berdusk becomes a buffet. Will you scramble the Mother Egg… or become breakfast? A one-shot for level 5 characters of any skill level.

About me
As an organized and detail-oriented Game Master, I bring rich plot lines and immersive story elements to every campaign. I specialize in weaving player backstories seamlessly into the narrative to create cohesive, unforgettable adventures. With experience spanning decades—from my start with the Red Box Dungeons & Dragons to my deep love for 3.5 edition—I’ve honed my skills and storytelling craft over time. After returning to 5E three years ago, I’ve been hosting weekly online games that keep players engaged and coming back for more. Currently, I run campaigns using the 2024 Dungeons & Dragons rules on the Shard Tabletop Virtual Tabletop (VTT) platform. Let’s roll the dice and make stories come alive!
