Into the Spider's Web [Homebrew] [3-4h]

About the adventure

Have you played almost every official module? Does the predetermined end of a story sap out the excitement for you? Is a linear story getting on your nerves? Do want to explore worlds that you never heard of before? If you answered yes to two of those at least, you'll love this campaign! In the Lands of Arda, during the 4th era, fate brought a few individuals together in the remote village of Owlreach. It was a night at the circus, one that many others found as normal, but for you, it was something that changed your life. A shabby magician went up the stage, declaring to perform a simple trick of turning some volunteers temporarily into frogs. To your surprise he picked you among some other people from the audience. People clapped and cheered for you, ignorant of what would follow, made you unable to refuse his invitation. Up the stage you were, in line with the others. He started showing off some moves and tried to impress the audience with fancy words. Then you saw the others getting transformed to frogs and your turn came. A puff of smoke. Your vision went black... Your life will never be the same. The campaign takes place in a completely homebrewed world called Lands of Arda and has only basic similarities with Forgotten Realms. It is high fantasy, but grounded world with vast explorable landscapes.
