About the adventure
Take your party on an adventure through a village plagued by a strange darkness. Will they save everyone, or will they, too, forever be trapped in an endless nightmare? A one-shot for 4 characters of 3rd level, but can be adjusted to accommodate 2-6 players. This adventure is for new and old players, alike.

Additional Details
How to prepare
I plan to run this game on discord using a voice channel, so players should have an account and it is preferred that players have a mic. If players built a character on D&DBeyond, the can roll virtual dice on there. Players do not need prior experience or knowledge of the rules.
What I provide
We are playing online, so I will provide digital game components like maps, tokens, etc. If players wish, they can provide an image for me to use for their character portrait.
Gameplay details
Players should expect a light and fun environment with a patient DM who doesn't mind players asking questions. As written, this adventure is a good mix of combat, exploration and roleplay. Some parts may be cut as time allows. The rating for this adventure ranges between PG and PG-13 depending on the players, but there is no explicit content of any kind. Players should respect each other. No player vs player. Playful banter is ok. Before the game starts, I will go over things like player boundaries, game structure, breaks, etc.

How will character creation work
Player characters should be level 3, but it may differ depending on how may players we have. I can provide pre-generated characters or I can help to guide players through character creation. If we create characters, it should be done before the game, preferably on D&DBeyond.
