About the adventure
Evil has returned to the Temple of Orcus! Shambling corpses rove the valley at night and dig up old graves. Ominous figures wearing crimson robes and goat masks lead the undead horde. They’re stealing food, tools, and paint for some sinister purpose, and it’s just a matter of time until they unleash a new reign of terror. Only you have the power to stop this evil. Venture to the hidden temple, defeat the sinister cultists, destroy undead, and take back what was stolen! The Will of Orcus is a 2024 5.5e adventure module from Dragon Delves, set near the dwarven stronghold of Greysmere in the world of Greyhawk. Prepare for a dungeon crawl filled with sinister villains and sympathetic NPCs alike, classic traps, and fun twists in this one shot for 4th level characters!

About me
I like to weave a dramatic narrative through a balance of roleplay and tactical combat, setting the stage for heroes to be brave in the face of overwhelming odds. I aim to create an experience where players are thrilled by epic challenges, have lots of laughs, and feel the emotional weight of a shared story in a highly immersive experience. I strive to create a welcoming, respectful, and safe community for LGBTQ+, BIPOC, and neurodivergent players. I am a transfemme person myself, and I have no tolerance for bigotry of any kind. This is a space to create, collaborate, and share in the fun of the hobby together. I am an avid user of safety tools to keep my games fun and light-hearted. Even when the fictional tensions are high, the game stays fun! I will handcraft an adventure for you based on your group's interests, featuring my own custom maps, characters, and storylines. Do you prefer a thrilling narrative where RP takes priority, do you enjoy a good dungeon crawl, or maybe a harmonious blend of the two? I will happily accommodate your group to offer the best play experience I can provide! Additionally, if you have an adventure module you would like me to run for you, I would be more than happy to provide such an experience as well! My price for a custom game is $30 per person. Sessions are typically 3-4 hours, but the session duration can be tailored to your preference. I will provide a captivating experience featuring custom maps, fun NPCs, and quality voice acting. I will incorporate your characters' goals, flaws, and backstories into the narrative. For me, the comfort, wants, and needs of my players always take priority.

What Sovaelis brings to the table
- A comfortable and safe environment - An immersive experience - High-quality maps and music - Professional character voices - Years of experience as a professional GM - Discord server with a vibrant community I use the Foundry VTT through Forge. I can support character sheets on either Foundry or D&D Beyond; you can choose which one to use.
Homebrew rules
- Flanking provides a +2 bonus to an attack roll. - Moving through allies counts as Difficult Terrain. - You can attempt to move through an enemy's space by succeeding at an Acrobatics or Athletics check. - You can take the Study action during combat to learn the strengths and weakness of a creature you can see. - When you reroll a d20 Test using Heroic Inspiration, Advantage and Disadvantage apply to the reroll as they did the first roll. - You can use Heroic Inspiration to allow an ally to reroll (but not an enemy). - If you roll a Natural 1, you gain Heroic Inspiration. - Natural 1 always fails, Natural 20 always succeeds. - When you make an attack roll but miss the target's AC by 5 or less, this is a "Near Miss" and deals minimum damage to the target. - If you reach 0 Hit Points and don’t die instantly, you start Dying, but you're not out of the fight yet. You may continue to take actions, but doing so risks certain death. - Recovering from Dying leaves you Wounded, giving you Disadvantage on Death Saves until you're no longer Bloodied.
