About the adventure
The counsel of Redwood Watch have requested your help! First, the sacred Redwood Grove showed signs of corruption, and then villagers started going missing. You've been hired to solve this problem once and for all. This one-shot for level 2 characters will teach you how to interact with some of D&D's key mechanics: investigation, social interaction, and combat. Your choices matter at every step of the adventure!

About me
I've been playing 5e with other systems scattered in since 2020, and GM'd a homebrew game since 2022, completing the campaign after 2 1/2 years. I am married to another GM and raising a youngster who is as nerdy as we are.

What Jessica brings to the table
Rule of cool always is #1 at my table! I voice characters as much as possible and highly encourage role-play. Atmospheric music will be used which can be muted if needed.
