About the adventure
The Siege of Pirn, the City of Clouds One-shot | Level: 14 | Location: Pirn, the western wall Pirn, the City of Clouds sits as the only city touching the Cloud wall. The strange wall of swirling mists is normally a sight that brings folks from around Eldor to see it. Veilfall is the one night a year that the city is all but abandoned, cut off to tourists and the like. The night when fell-green clouds creep past the wall and into the city and the dead march with it. The Steel Drake have made it a sort of right of passage to endure the night to reach the upper echelons of the Drakes. Now, it's your turn. Players can expect: - Combat Heavy - Classic undead theme - Siege Defense Tactics - Deadly boss encounter

About me
Hello, everyone! I have run several games spanning about 5 years and ranging from DnD5e/5.5e to homemade TTRPGs with my family, friends, and kids. I have never found a medium quite like TTRPGs and believe it is the ultimate storytelling and gaming experience that's out there. The way it can bring together folks from all walks of life to tell a story unique, interesting, fun and heartbreaking all at once is nothing less than narrative magic. I hope to bring my character central gameplay to those interested in a story focused environment where we can experience the magic DnD has to offer. Options for Family friendly environment available as well. Your first session with me is free! Please message me to secure your free session.

What Killiyan brings to the table
As a GM, it is my job to ensure that you are enjoying the game as a whole. With the structure of the rules as a guide and the freedom of leaning into Rule of Cool if necessary, I attempt to create engaging and satisfying gameplay. I typically run a more serious game, but laughter and humor have a firm place no matter the stakes of the world. Sometimes you will trip and fall on your face, and it will be hilarious. Key Points: -Roleplay is needed to experience the game to its fullest. Whether you explain your characters actions in third-person, voice a line or two here and there, or come complete with a special voice and character accurate quips, it is all accepted and encouraged. -Combat will feel dangerous and threatening most of the time with later levels having chances of being "EZPZ". Strategy has its place but active combat is quick; 6 seconds of time translated into 1 round of turns. There's no time to ask your party what to do once combat is rolling! Logistics: We will run our game on Roll20 and DnD Beyond. Discussion will be had in discord on topics such as attendance, character creation, and more. Fixed level One-Shot | Ambient Music | Player Story | Intense Combat
Homebrew rules
Potions of Healing Drinking a potion as a bonus action heals as normal—roll the dice. Drinking a potion as an action gives maximum healing—no roll. Example: Potion of Healing (2d4 + 2): Bonus Action = Roll 2d4 + 2 Action = Heal for 10 HP (max)

Safety
How Killiyan creates a safe table
Every session will have allotted times to discuss things in the Stars and Wishes format as well as any outright concerns. This will be before and after the session. If concerns arise mid-session, each player is able to request a break to discuss, reach out through direct messages on discord, or voice concerns in the campaign chat; all without scrutiny. I will do my best to create an enjoyable environment that is both thrilling and irl safe. Feedback is strongly encouraged!
