Magora wants to Battle!

About the adventure

ONESHOT! This is one of the games in my portal series(like tales of the yawning portal) so we are dropping a willing party of adventures in a portal that brings them to an area of conflict in the world. The intent is for them to solve it and come back, but the adventures vary. This adventure focuses on the town of Chorgin. The mage guild there has recently discovered that an important spell scroll is missing from their archives. They've searched the town up and down for the outsider who came through town when it happened, but they can't find her. They think she must have escaped into the surrounding swamp. Can you find the woman and recover the spell scroll?

How to prepare

Prepare by making a level 6 character as described below(How will character creation work)! They will need a mic and ideally everyone adds me on discord so that I can make a group chat. You need discord and a free Roll20 account to join the game. We will do dice through Roll20's dice rolling function.

What I provide

I have my prep materials and a couple drawings I've done for flavor purposes. I've premade the maps on Roll20 because I've run this game before.

Gameplay details

Session zero: For oneshots the session zero is the first 20-30 mins of the game. This is when other safety tools will be addressed as well. Lines and Veils: My lines are sexual assault and racism/sexism/homophobia/transphobia. Anything sexual at my table is veiled, and will only occur in 18+ games. Luxton Technique: If anyone has any outright triggers that they are worried might come up in the game, you can say them now. My main triggers are sexual assault and parental abuse. If something comes up that is triggering, refer to XNO XNO: Because this is an online game, I don't have physical cards. When it comes to this, you can type the letter in the roll20 chat or as a private message to me on Discord. X is for triggers and when bad things happen. When an X happens the scene stops and there is a small break. N is for when something is headed a direction you don't want it to go. This will be addressed as a scene shift or a tone shift to steer away from the topic. O is for me to check after a dark scene that everyone is OKAY! Can also be used by players during dark in character moments. Breaks can be taken as needed. I usually plan a break about halfway through the session, 10-15 mins for bathroom or getting food/drink Gameplay Details: Half investigation half combat. Homebrew monster mechanics to spice things up! Varied terrain combat.

How will character creation work

Create a level 6 character. No race or class limits. The characters will be part of an established adventuring party who have been drawn to an adventurers' guild. The guild's high wizard has crafted a portal that brings players to a random zone of conflict to solve. You can use standard array, point buy, or roll 7 4d6(drop the lowest, like if you got 4, 4, 2, 1 on a roll you would drop the 1 and have 10). You get one uncommon magic item! If you want to use a homebrew item, you gotta send it to me for approval! You can create it before or during session zero(just the first 30-45 mins of the session).

Players can expect

• Find a game to join solo or search for a professional game master for you and your friends/coworkers/family.
• Book your session and wait for the Game Master to approve you.
• If you don't have a blast with your first game, your next game is on us.
