About the adventure
What is the price of Justice? The merchant you passed on the trader's road handed you a parchment suggesting a number that raised some serious consideration. A call for help with a palpable reward has gone out around the southern Dragon Coast, and now many are headed to Cedarsproke to collect a bounty to help citizens defend itself against tyranny. Will it be strictly business, or will something else take hold that was not expected? That will depend on who arrives first and who can endure what the true cost for freedom might entail. How far will you go? What cost are you willing to pay? ___________________ This adventure is tailor-made for both newcomers and veterans of Dungeons & Dragons 5e (2024 edition). You'll venture into mysterious town, relying on both brute force and clever tactics to regain your footing. Along the way, you might uncover hidden secrets and even forge unexpected alliances. ****SENSITIVE CONTENT**** There may be what would be deemed "sensitive content" for some in the area of gender-based violence. If you still wish to play, but are not sure, please message me immediately so that I can clarify the degree and ensure I have the ability to make you feel comfortable. Charactes will start at 3rd level for this adventure. **NOTE: This is a regulated story to ensure time accuracy within the allocated time frame specified. As such, this is not a sandbox-oriented adventure as you may experience within a campaign. My adventures contain 3 parts - Opening, Adventure, and Epilogue. To meet expectations of players participating, I may make adjustments as we play to meet the expectations players have signed up for, which includes managing the time so it doesn't end too early or take too long than was expected.

About me
I’ve walked the realms since the days of first edition, back in the misty age of the 80s—but that’s not the tale you’ve come to hear, is it? What you truly seek is the experience. Take a seat by the fire and lend me your ear, for I see the same restless spark in your eyes that lit mine all those years ago. If you’ve ever lost yourself in the pages of a fantasy tome, or watched heroes clash steel beneath storm-dark skies, then you already know the call. That deep, undeniable yearning to step into the story—not just read it. To feel the weight of a sword in your hand, or trace your fingers over the brittle vellum of an ancient spellbook. To behold mountains that scrape the heavens, and to ride snarling beasts through emerald forests older than time. Yes... I know that call well. No more waiting. The winds of Faerûn stir once more, and destiny is calling your name. Let's go...

Great for people new to the VTT experience.
What Oscar (Starwood Adventures) brings to the table
• Rule of Cool is my main DM gaming style. • I use music and sound effects to help build the experience. The focus is always on story first, mechanics second. I take character backgrounds into account where it makes sense in the story if I can. Most of my games will always aspire to provide an equal balance of every areas of enjoyment - combat, puzzles, and role play. I try to ensure there is something in every adventure for everyone, and will alway try to ensure everyone is getting attention and being heard. I love VTT like all of you, and for me, it's a passion I want to share and allow others to express as they wish.
