About the adventure

Investigate a once proud fortress that fell into the earth ages ago. Travel to the ruined stronghold of Khundrukar in search of superior blades. Seek out the ruins of Tamoachan and the treasure-laden temple within. These and several other quests await you in the world famous Yawning Portal inn and tavern. You may even choose to pay your gold piece and be lowered into the vast dungeon complex of Undermountain. Just remember, should your nerve fail you, you can always be pulled back up. Im sure the tavern patrons wont judge you at all.

About me

"As you step into the candle-lit tavern, your senses come alive. The smell of alcohol soaked wood. The echo of your footfalls on the stone floor. The slight temperature change. You want nothing more than something to clear the dust of the road from your throat. It takes a moment for your eyes to adjust, and as they do you see a man behind the bar, absently polishing a cup. He stops and motions you closer with his eyes." Hello. My name is Chris, but you can call me Cap. I am a DM/player with five years of experience in the 5e system. My favorite aspect of TTRPG is the collaborative story telling. While rolling tons of math rocks and battling monsters is amazing, being a part of an overall narrative that veers off into unexpected and surprising ways is pure chef's kiss. I pride myself on running a fun and welcoming table. Everyone from first timers to seasoned vets have seats with me and I am always available to my players for questions and comments. My price range per session, per player is between $15 and $20 for published modules and between $20 and $30 for complete homebrew, depending on the features you want. So, brave adventurer, if you would kindly speak to the tavern keeper. He is in desperate need of your talents.
