Siege of Ashfall

About the adventure

The town of Ashfall is under siege. Smoke rises from the mountains as the Black Ash Horde, a goblin war-host led by the terrifying Gorvax, the Ash King, marches toward the town with fire, chaos, and destruction in their wake. The townsfolk are terrified, the gates are vulnerable, and only a small band of heroes can hold the line. That’s where you come in. Siege of Ashfall is a fast-paced, combat-focused one-shot designed for players who thrive on tactical decision-making, teamwork, and high-energy action. Over the course of three thrilling acts, your party will defend Ashfall from waves of cunning goblins, fire-wielding bombers, berserk forge ragers, and massive war machines—all while managing the town’s defenses, rallying allies, and making split-second choices that could mean life or death.
