Castle In the Sky! Any Experience Level Welcome!

About the adventure

A mysterious castle floats high above the land, emanating strange magics into the land and trailing behind it a flock of large, winged creatures that are attacking & killing the local denizens. Our adventurers must make their way up to the castle, climbing the roots that dangle from beneath it and figure out how to stop the winged beast's attacks before they cause even more harm. This is a fantasy, one-shot, 5th level adventure for D&D 5e that should last for 1-3 sessions depending on session length and progression rate. Any and all levels of experience are welcome to join. This will be a mix of Roleplay, Exploration, and Combat with great opportunities for each.

How to prepare

If everyone could please have access to a working, decent quality microphone and if possible, a webcam, that would be great. Don't worry about getting a webcam if you don't already have one. Please feel free to use your own dice! If you don't have any, then you can just use a dice roller app or the roller on Roll20 for the games. If you want to print out your sheet that is perfectly fine and I will be happy to help with putting it in a pdf and formatting it for you. Don't worry if you don't know the ins and outs of the game, I am here to help and guide you along so that this is the most fun possible.

What I provide

I will bring with me everything that I know to bring. I know D&D 5e rules and spells like the back of my hand and have the resources necessary to check myself on all of them. I have PDFs of fillable character sheets and online supplements to share. I will also bring supplemental handouts and item cards so that you know what all of your items do. I have a plethora of tokens for Roll20 and have a token editor that is free and great to use. There are also multiple, small quality of life things that I do/bring with me so that everyone can just focus on the game and have fun.

Gameplay details

Players can expect a balance of Exploration & Adventure, Combat, & Roleplay in fairly equal parts. This specific adventure leans a little more towards combat and exploration, but still has great opportunities for roleplay.

How will character creation work

If anyone wants to make a character beforehand, I'd be happy to sit down before the session and make one with you. If not, I will have premade characters ready for anyone who wants to simply show up and play! I prefer story over power when it comes to a character so I like to steer away from power/meta-gaming. Also, I love to reward inspiration for good storytelling or RP, so go ahead, give that character a flaw or three!
