Aliens Vs Predators: a sci fi themed level 20 oneshot

About the adventure

Low level adventurers have recently gone missing while traveling through the city of Phlan, including one of your own mentees. You've decided to team up with several of your fellow level 20 friends to investigate what's going on. But not all is as it seems, and perhaps the real enemy is only minutes away... The final countdown begins... and only the strongest will survive!

How to prepare

Players need a working mic and access to a computer. The game will be held over discord and roll20, so you will need an account on both. Players will need to make their character sheet ahead of time in roll20 or dndbeyond. If dndbeyond, they will need to have the chrome extension beyond20.

What I provide

If you play with me, you'll be playing with one of the most recommended dms on the site, as well as one of the most experienced dms for balancing high level play in 5e. I have six level 20 oneshots I run regularly on SPG, as well as several ongoing level 20 campaigns. Before I became an SPG dm, I was running level 16-20 adventures for years. I use unique monsters, strategies, and my experience to deliver an amazing game. I run my games RAW, or rules as written. If you have a rules question for me that I haven't come across before or forgotten about, I will pause the game momentarily to look it up and make sure everything is according to the spirit of the rules. I reference Sage Advice/Jeremy Crawford tweets, but have my own opinions as well (such as the interpretation of magic missile, shield master feat, and dispel magic). I have one homebrew rule, which is you can drink a potion as a bonus action.
