About the adventure
Fear is the mind killer. Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration. ___________________________________________________ Death comes for all of us eventually. Some run from it, some embrace it, and some even try to master it; only one ever truly has, though. The Whispered One is a name known to many, as few are willing to speak their true name. With two simple syllables, it can send a chill of fear through the spine of the peasant and king alike. Hundreds of heroes have been sent or tasked themselves to put an end to the Whispered One's grave machinations. Few return, many die, but most find themselves added to his undead legions. Now, the Whispered One has reemerged once more, in the Astral Plane. Already the world has begun to stir with whispers of him once more, and fear carries upon that same wind. Stories from across the continents of people going mad at the mere sound of his name being spoken. Few know what to do to stop or even confront the archlich, but have tasked a small handful of brave heroes to seek out his new lair. The only advice they have to offer... "Don't say 'Vecna'!"

About me
The tension is weighty, suffocating: a moment suspended on the edge of a blade. Live, or die. Fight, or run. Figures move in the shadows - wolves, goblins, sweeping robes, shapes only seen in nightmares. Panic threatens to drown you; you glance about, danger everywhere. From behind, you hear the sound of steel against a scabbard; a low incantation begins; a growl reverberates. You divine the presence of trusted companions, and you swallow your fear. You are not trapped - these shadows are. In your hand, you sense your power - your quiver, your sword - and you cast it forth. Time slows, fates bend, and the silence breaks with the sound of destiny manifesting: Natural Twenty. ____ Welcome, friends, to the Cherry Tree! My name is Randall, and I’m here to do what I love most in this world: tell stories with others. Those stories may range from the horrific to the hilarious, from epic high fantasy to small-town whodunnits. No matter the themes or tone, I try to make every story unique. Sometimes this means tweaking a module to get a better fit, sometimes this means writing a whole new story - and sometimes it means setting the tale in my own homebrewed world of Ilian. Anyone who is willing to collaborate with, listen to, and respect their fellow players is welcome at my table. Whether our story is fun and goofy or dark and spooky, everyone should feel safe and comfortable with it and each other.
