About the adventure
Something is stealing the fish beneath the Otari Fishery, and the owner, Tamily Tanderveil, needs brave hands to fix the problem! What starts as a simple job tracking down missing cargo quickly turns into a descent through forgotten cellars, ancient stone ruins, and treacherous underground caves. As you push deeper below the town, you will uncover hidden dangers, solve mysterious traps, and face off against sinister creatures lurking in the dark. This introductory adventure offers a classic, action packed fantasy dungeon crawl with a lighthearted, heroic tone. Expect a balance of exciting tactical combat, hands on puzzle solving, and opportunities to interact with memorable local characters. You will work together as a team of adventurers, exploring room by room, gathering treasure, and uncovering the secrets hidden right under the townspeople's feet. You do not need to know any of the rules, lore, or system mechanics before sitting down to play. Everything is designed to teach you the game naturally as you explore! You will learn how your character moves, casts spells, swings weapons, and works alongside teammates through direct action. If you love collaborative storytelling, rolling dice, and high stakes adventure, this is the perfect entry point into tabletop roleplaying.

Safety
How Geoff creates a safe table
Your safety and enjoyment are my highest priorities. We begin every campaign with a dedicated Session 0 to align on tone, themes, and expectations. To ensure the experience is tailored to everyone’s comfort, I utilize the Monte Cook RPG Consent Checklist, allowing me to calibrate the adventure’s content to the group's needs. During live play, I maintain an Open Door policy, players are always free to step away or pause the action if things become overwhelming, no questions asked. Finally, we conclude our sessions with a Stars and Wishes debriefing; this allows us to celebrate what we loved and collaboratively adjust the narrative for the future, ensuring the game remains a welcoming space for all.
