About the adventure
🐉 🐉 Classic dungeon crawls! 🐉 🐉 Can you stop the elemental prophets from completing their rituals and summoning a Prince of Elemental Evil to destroy the world? You will have to delve deep to find out in 5e's love letter to the 1985 AD&D module: The Temple of Elemental Evil! The Dessarin River Valley had been relatively peaceful for more than a hundred years. However, over the past six months new threats have arisen in the valley. Unbeknownst to the townsfolk, four elemental prophets are assembling cults for some nefarious purpose. Bandits now rule the roads, pirates travel openly on the Dessarin River, and stories circulate that even more horrific monsters have been coming out of the Sumber Hills. Even the weather has been abnormal and twisted. Now an important delegation from the northern city of Mirabar destined for Waterdeep has gone missing. Can you find the missing delegation, discover the true threat, and put a stop to the evil threatening to consume the world?

How John W. creates a safe table
Because the focus of the campaign is fighting a variety of evil cultists and their allies the campaign has a lot of combat and violence. Themes like slavery, murder, and the inhumane treatment of others come up frequently. We will have a session zero to set expectations and discuss any lines or veils that should be included. You are always free to take a break with no judgment if things get too intense, and you can message me using the X, N, and O cards to signal that we need to move on from a tough topic or situation. At the conclusion of each session we can also take a minute to discuss what's happened so far and how everyone is feeling about the campaign.
