About the adventure
Phandelver and Below: The Shattered Obelisk is a high-fantasy adventure that begins in the beloved town of Phandalin as it faces unimaginable danger. The heroes discover hints of a threat lurking below the town. They then soon learn that the cult of a malevolent entity has set its sights on transforming Phandalin into the capital of its evil empire. To save the town from oblivion, the good guys must uncover a nefarious plot and confront the otherworldly cultists directly. Expect plenty of dungeon crawling, and a fairly linear, easy to follow plotline, as expected for something written for new comers. But with enough flexibility and options to not feel limited.

About me
Hello there adventurer, i see you crave adventure, grab a tankard and let me tell you a bit about myself. Once upon a time, there was a handsome, likeable and funny fella, hanging out with a group of friends, i was there too. We agreed it was time to try out a bit of Dungeons and Dragons shiny new FIFTH EDITION!!!, and yes we yelled the name. But there was no Dungeon Master around us, so i decided i didnt like having free time and took the mantle of what turned out to be... THE FEARED FOREVER MASTER. Now im stuck in this digital world, tasked with entertaining some weirdos who decided they wanted to be un alive, so they became adventurers instead of bakers or medics or veterinarians, i like dogs, they are cute, i will present you with doggos in your adventures, and you better pet them, seriously, the guy who put me in charge said i have the power to control reality or something, he turned me into this gloomy floating head with unattached hands, its creepy, but hey, i can cast cool lightning bolts!. Oh yes the aventure, well i dont know, tell you what, i will ask you and the rest of your party what do you expect to do and i will figure out how to procure said content with my magic hands. I will wait for you in the only dark spot in this tavern, looking at you all mysterious until you decide to talk to me, hurry up tho, the drinks in this bar are expensive and of course you are paying, i dont have pockets!. I also do funny stuff on camera so you can laugh at me. Here is a short video showing off some of the cool features i have for my games: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7FFU4rNzkA ^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^
