About the adventure
Your traveling cart has crashed into a deer and you all have tumbled down the side of a large mountain, losing your way. You’re hurt, and the only nearby assistance is the village beside you. The villagers will help you if you can get a large enough Quarry for them in the woods and bring it back for their harvest festival. You have only until nightfall to do so, as their festival begins then. They insist that the Quarry you hunt have big teeth and big claws, for their souls gain strength from eating powerful creatures... This game is a Homebrew world. It also tackles cult and folk horror extremely directly, including hunting and sacrifice. This game is intended for Intermediate or Advanced players. CONTENT WARNINGS: FOLK HORROR CULT HORROR This one-shot is extremely dark. You may encounter things like: Blood, gore, death, suicide, psychological horror, descriptions of body horror, murder, animal sacrifice, and torture.

About me
Hello, hello! I'm Addigale, though I go by Addy. I've run countless games in mostly DnD, but in multiple other TTRPGs (some of which aren't even available on the dropdown list!) for the past almost 10 years. I have played DnD for even longer than that, just over a decade of time. I'm always itching to tell a story and to invite others into the process with me. I thirst for creativity and the arts, and have been a wearer of many hats. I've been a voice actor for longer than I've played DnD, have published my own TTRPGs, audio dramas, and short stories, all while now being a stay at home step-mom! I'm always making something, whether its a story, new campaign, or a drawing for my players. I love to make things easy for players to understand, and love to make lists, write out "cheat sheets", schedules, and pretty calendars for everyone to be organized and have a good time.

Creating your character
You can make your character sheet using: DnD Beyond: https://www.dndbeyond.com/en OR Dungeon Master's Vault: https://www.dungeonmastersvault.com/pages/dnd/5e/character-builder If you want to use a Homebrew Class or Species, please send the information to me first for approval. There are two ways to make your character statline: -Rolled via 4d6 drop lowest. If you do not like your first roll, you may reroll once and MUST keep the reroll. -Standard Array.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
If you do not have one already, please make accounts on: Roll20 Discord You will need these to join the Roll20 game and Discord server.
What Addigale brings to the table
I will provide the Discord server, Roll20, and music that I curated. We will embrace homebrew and Rule of Cool.
Homebrew rules
The Table Rules: - From the Brink: Being downed and brought back to greater than 0 HP gives you a level of exhaustion. - Potion Drinking: Drinking your own potions is a bonus action. Helping someone else drink is an action. - Flanking grants advantage. (Must be on opposite sides.) - Criticals Explode: On a critical hit, roll double damage as usual. If you roll max damage on any die, reroll that die. (Example: you roll 2d12 for a critical hit. One of those is a 12. Roll it again. If it's a 12 again, roll it again. Add all these numbers together for your damage.)

Safety
How Addigale creates a safe table
For one-shots, I do not hold a Session 0. But I do absolutely debrief. I will clearly state all content warnings aloud for each player. If any of these are an issue, they can easily be written out of the story for your comfort. We will be using the X, N, and O cards. These will either be typed in the public chat or DMed to my Discord if you would rather not be public about it. After the game, I will stay an extra 15 minutes for aftercare to make sure you are feeling safe.
