About the adventure
3 months ago, a large band of disfigured men and women in purple robes came to your village asking for volunteers to join the stary void known as Mugdulblub. They praised and spoke of him as a God. Being devout followers of the Nine none of your kin were inclined to join. Days later people were being reported as missing in your village. After extensive searching only one conclusion could be made, they were taken as "volunteers". 3 months on the road while following in the wake of the purple robed cult. Village after village more people had become "volunteers". More people had joined the desperate search for loved ones. People of all kinds, from all walks of life, none were immune to the purple robed cult. It consumed all. Vows were made in the dark to the fire at night to search until the end. And some have met their end before now. Very few are left, you are one of the lucky ones who made it out of the desert alive. The forest was a welcome change at first. But the trees have grown ever so dark and cold. Deeper and deeper into the forest the path has taken you. Shadows seem to have a life of their own here. An uneasy feeling fills you daily now, and the trail has gone cold. Can you find your lost family members before they are lost to the void? Welcome to the Gloaming! This hex crawl adventure will be taking place in Cursed scroll #1. This is grim dark fantasy. It will be played using Foundry VTT and discord.

What {GM/DM} Jerrett brings to the table
I will be using Foundry VTT for all elements of the game. I do voices, not the best, and I like to Roleplay. Rule of cool always will apply. I am always open to a new idea as long as you can explain why it makes sense.
