About the adventure

Adventures! We beseech you! A great and terrible entity from the Farm Realms seeks to enter the mortal plane. Its sick and malicious cultists gather in droves to beckon Its return. Will you go with a small group that was hand picked by our priests, given our great God Helm's blessing, and infiltrate the cultists' meeting and find out how to banish this being back to the Far Realms? Or will you allow yourself to fall to Its temptations and ludicrous promises of power beyond reckoning? Will you survive five days worth of: - 🥵 Hot NPC cultists that also seek to become the vessel for The Great Old One? - 🫣 Temptations that pull you from the path of the Temple? - 🐙 The mortal visage of The Great Old One Themselves? - 🏃🏽‍♀️ A series of challenges and events that will show you who your true friends are, and who are waiting to throw you into the maw of a monster all to save the Mortal Realm? Come play "I ❤️ The Great Old One" to find out what awaits your characters when they flirt with the thing that goes bump in the night or that which haunts their unfathomable nightmares.
