About the adventure
"Do good, no matter the cost!" directs The Golden Vault, your patron. Impressive deeds and heroic feats await you, if your heist crew is willing. Four unique heists will require tactical excellence and imaginative problem solving. Will your crew rise to the occassion, or fall apart under the pressure of the Golden Vault? Each week, your patron sends you a new assignment. As a crew, you will experience... Lvl 0️⃣8️⃣: ⚱️Heart of Ashes💗 The city of Ghalasine has shut itself off from the outside world, their King Jhaeros is no where to be found, and a dark void surrounds Castle Cinic, turning the city to ash while taking the souls of the dead in it. All you have to do is steal the King's heart to restore order... should be easy, right? Lvl 0️⃣9️⃣: 👹Affair on the Concordant Express 🚂 An outlaw known as the Stranger is being transported to Mechanus to stand trial for impersonating an angelic being, his latest offense after a lifetime of crime. The Stranger is suspected to have committed the true names of several demons, devils, and yugloths to memory, and you've been tasked with finding him and getting the Stranger to share these secrets with you. Lvl 1️⃣0️⃣: 💎Party at the Paliset Hall 🏦 It's the winter solstice, and Zorhanna Adulhare is holding her annual grand gala. You've been tasked with stealing Zorhanna's shard solitaire, one of five known to exist. Her shard is a magical diamond that she's outfitted into a necklace, which she'll be wearing at the gala. Only problem is, Zorhanna isn't herself...rather, she's been replaced with a simulacrum while she's trapped inside the shard, forced to watch the outside world with no control over her body! Lvl 1️⃣1️⃣: 😈Fire and Darkness🐦🔥 Vrakir, an efreeti who has spent centuries burning countless cities to ash, has locked away the Book of Vile Darkness in the prison fortress, Brimstone Hold. With the book, Vrakir's quest to spread and strengthen his evil hold will become nearly invincible. You've been given the task of finding and retrieving this book, with the potential aid of the hold's administrator Nebukath, an arcanaloth with questionable loyalties. Whether or not you survive the heist, much less withstand the book's influence, remains to be seen.

About me
When you love storytelling and have a penchant for chaos, all roads (eventually) lead to TTRPG. I came to tabletop roleplay later in life (2023) but my love for crafting stories and roleplaying online started in 2005. When you're plagued with visions and brainworms aplenty, there's nothing I love more than detailing a scene like I'm storyboarding a movie. Yes, we know where the action is leading us, but how are we getting there? Is it with a comedic flair, or a penchant for angst and dramatics? Those are the details I highlight when setting the scene. Offline, I GM for my friends on the weekend and during the week, I lead social skills groups for neurodiverse adolescents (including a bi-weekly D&D night!). When I'm not gaming (Sims4, CitiesSkylines), you're likely to find me doomscrolling on tumblr and organizing my 100+ open tabs on AO3.
View Profile →Character creation
Creating your character
Characters should be ready to go at session start, and made on DnDBeyond.com. Standard Array for ability scores should be used. Most homebrew and source material is welcome; just remember we start as Level 8 characters executing a heist.
This oneshot is best run with three players involved. However, an NPC (tiefling bard) will be added to the party if there are only 2 players signed up. This game will start 3/19 and run bi-weekly there after.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You will need a Discord & DnDBeyond account to play. Both accounts are free to create. My Discord server will be used for audio, and DnDBeyond for VTT. If you create your character within the campaign, you will have access to my source books. You Character's picture on DnDBeyond will be their token during gameplay.
What Erika Kathryn brings to the table
Character sheets, Maps, and Dice Rolling will be ran through DnDBeyond. Discord will be used for audio, including background music to help set the scene. We follow the Rule of Cool here, and make liberal use of in-character dialogue and narration. You can do as much as you are comfortable with, and I welcome the melding of minds if you have a specific vision for how a conversation or action goes down! Creative choices will be honored, 9 times out of 10. If it adds to the narrative, it's likely game!
Homebrew rules
I assume every character comes into session with two potions of healing. One rare, three uncommon magical items, and two uncommon/common consumables should be equipped. (If, instead of 1rare + 3uncommon items, you'd rather have 1 very rare item, that is OK)

How Erika Kathryn creates a safe table
Once you get set up in my discord server, you can message me any specific lines/veils you want to be observed. Similarly, we'll do a brief check in prior to game start to make sure everyone is comfortable with the set up. Breaks are taken about 60-90-minutes into gameplay, and you are more than welcome to step away should you need to outside of that. I appreciate stars and wishes post-gameplay, even in oneshots.
