About the adventure

Beast Feast: Campaign Recipe Serves: 4–5 adventurers Prep Time: One session zero Cook Time: 18-20 sessions, rapid leveling from 1-10 Skill Level: Beginner-friendly INGREDIENTS A heaping helping of Delicious in Dungeon (fellowship in food, forgotten depths, and frightful foes) A smidge of minced Hollow Knight (ruins, mystery, a scattered community of characters) Distinct villages, all clinging to survival, for our heroes to hail from 1 forbidden dungeon made from 1 chopped ancient palace (full of a smorgasbord of beasts and blooms) A cracked, barren world surrounding the last remnants of civilization (do not consume) A sprinkling of terrible attempts at character voices (may include accents that wander, volume fluctuations, and regret) Far too many food puns PC backstories to inflict emotional damage At least one weird little guy PREPARATION "Long ago, a great kingdom prospered across the continent, then a cataclysm shattered the land. The earth cracked and withered. From the fissures rose monstrous beasts and unnatural blooms. Civilization collapsed, and the surface world became uninhabitable. As the scourge grew, so too did the peoples hunger. Many heroes fought back against the encroaching horrors. For every creature cut down, more rose to take its place. Among these heroes was Hylaeus the Mage who sought to end the scourge entirely. As the last stronghold of the old world, the capital became a refuge for survivors. Hylaeus placed a powerful magical barrier around it, shielding the city from the beasts and blooms that ravaged the land beyond. For a time, the capital endured, and the mage was celebrated. But then a colossal beast laid siege to the capital. The beast devoured all in its path, including the barrier and the great palace. Hylaeus confronted the colossus in a final battle and petrified its body in a desperate act of magic. Its body turned to stone and earth, but Hylaeus was gravely injured. Her last spell was to create a lure that would draw all the surrounding beasts and blooms of the land to the insides of the petrified colossus where they would wander its insides forever. As centuries past, the remnants of civilization survived atop the mountain of the colossus, and came to call it home." - Village Sage COOKING INSTRUCTIONS Create a character willing to brave the depths Descend into a dungeon shaped by lost history, ancient magic, and ecological nightmares.
