About the adventure
Our story begins in a mirror plane of suffering and death. It's not all bad, though... The Grove, an underground sanctuary, acts as a bastion of healing and charity in a place where very little exists. A holy aura keeps the dark and its worst villains at bay, and for those who dare to challenge the light, an angel of a war god stands ready. Daeve is ever vigilant. Daeve is mighty, but he needs your help. He's got the surface covered. But the Grove must spread as more refugees find their way here. That's where you come in! Map the ancient catacombs! Eliminate dangers! Gather lore! Get involved in local politics? Become a civil engineer? Seriously, there's so much to do. Spread The Grove! Heroes Needed! This story will start as a classic dungeon crawl. Using that method, we will develop a custom story that incorporates everyone's character. Expect a healthy mix of dynamic combat, intriguing roleplay, and tricky puzzles.

About me
Hello! I have been playing and hosting TTRPG for 22 years. I enjoy playing, but it doesn't fulfill me the way hosting a game does. This is my life's passion. I have my own original world, named Convergence, that's large enough to accommodate multiple interlacing stories over distance and time. I'm also a classically trained chef, a writer(of course), and I love to create miniature art. I can accommodate new and experienced players alike. I love to teach; watching people make progress and develop personal play-styles is very fulfilling for me. My world awaits. Will you join me? -AJ, DM
