About the adventure
Beneath the mountain, chained in darkness for five thousand years, sleeps the Monkey King, the immortal trickster who once stormed the gates of Heaven and made the gods themselves tremble. Above him, a wall of violet mist pours endlessly from the volcano's mouth, sealing an entire valley away from the world, and the world away from it. For as long as anyone can remember, nothing has passed through the Veil. Nothing has escaped it. You were not born to this land. You fought your way here across mist and blood and ruin, chasing a destiny you never asked for. Now you stand at the mountain's roots, where a war older than any living memory waits to end. The gate is guarded. The door is sealed. And the only way out of this valley leads straight through the dark where a god lies waiting. The mountain is all that remains between you and your freedom.

About me
I've been a game master since 1984. I have run D&D, Space Master, Shadowrun, Call of Cthulhu, and Paranoia. I wrote and published my own game system (Paradox RPG) in 1996. I write my own adventures, as well as adopt and modify existing adventures. No two of my games are ever the same. I do this for a hobby. I do this for the love of the game. I would love for you to join me.

Creating your character
I will have all the resources and information necessary to create your character listed in my discord server. We will create the characters in D&D Beyond and import them into Foundry. I will launch Foundry VTT 30 minutes prior to game start and give a quick tutorial on how to use Foundry prior to starting time.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Participants should have the following items: 1. Microphone (a laptop mic suffices in a pinch). 2. Discord account (it's free—utilized for game planning and voice/video chat during the session). 3. Webcam (optional but encouraged!). 4. D&D Beyond Account (it's free—utilized for building characters).
What Faight brings to the table
A virtual tabletop experience with Foundry VTT that includes elements such as music, animated effects, and maps and assets from creators I subscribe to or created myself with various tools like Inkarnate.

How Faight creates a safe table
This is a fantasy adventure, so the bad guys will do bad guy things. Your characters will be confronted with unsettling situations and empowered to overcome them. There will be no gratuitous engagement in these topics, but they will arise. I am happy to take breaks and use tools like "Fade to Black" to reduce any discomfort.
