Exandria: Ank'Harel is Burning (An Explorer's Guide to Wildemount stand alone One Shot)

About the adventure

Ank’Harel's streets are ablaze. The continent has just learned of the freeing of a betrayer god’s pet off the shores of Wildemount. The citizens of the continent of Marquet are rightfully terrified, and chaos now besets the city and her streets. Can someone calm the people down? Can the rampage in the streets be stopped? Will J'mon Sa Ord get the city back under control? "The streets are filled with chaos and destruction. Groups of people can be seen running and screaming, some with looks of pure terror on their faces. Many of the buildings you can see have been vandalized and set on fire, filling the air with thick smoke and the smell of burning wood and metal. Broken glass and debris litter the streets, making it difficult to navigate through the crowds. The sounds of shattering windows, screams, and the blaring of alarms can be heard all around. Amidst the chaos, small skirmishes and clashes between rioters and the hands of ord can be seen, adding to the sense of danger and unrest. It feels as though the city has descended into anarchy, with no one in control. Can anyone help?" Our story is set on the Continent of Marquet, in the city of Ank'Harel, in the world of Matt Mercer's creation: Exandria.

Gameplay details

💼 ~SAFETY TOOLS FOR CONSENT~💼 At my table I want every player to be comfortable, to ensure this I use safety tools in all of my games. Before my games I have all players fill out the a TTRPG Safety and Consent Questionnaire. All of this will be available from the Discord server. ⚔ ~COMBAT~ 🏹 I try to make all my combats Hard or Deadly when using the encounter builder on DNDBeyond. Quick thinking, and a good plan will be needed, although fleeing is always an option. 🧊~RULE OF COOL~🧊 While I use RAW and RAI, I also enjoy a fun scene that my players help create. If the idea if fun, we might just have to roll🎲 for it 🎵 ~Music~🎵 I play music through Kenku FM on my discord server to help immerse the players into the game 📖~NEWCOMERS WELCOME~📖 I am always open to helping newcomers learn the game. If you have questions in the game or before, don't be afraid to ask. I've never met someone to sit at the table for the first time and not have a question or two.
