Out of the Abyss

About the adventure

Captured and enslaved by a drow raiding party. Who were you before this terrible incident? Were you some nobody who barely knew how to swing a sword, a farmer with some strange innate magic resonating within you, or perhaps you were a noble who *had* an armored escort that just happened to be in the wrong place in the wrong time? Regardless you and several others need to escape this enslavement by the drow, but can you do it while deeper, darker forces make themselves known throughout the underdark?

Additional Details

How to prepare

You will need a mic and a discord account mainly, and anything else can be sorted out through the discord server I make for these games. A general knowledge of the rules is appreciated, but if you are new to playing I will be more than happy to teach as well. I will assist in character creation if needed as well. The only other thing you will need is an account on Roll20 so you can actually be where the game is happening.

What I provide

The game is in Roll20 where I own a vast majority of Wizards of the Coast content, and you will be afforded full access to it. You will be given handouts for any and all items/important npc's or whatever else you may see in game.

Gameplay details

Out of the Abyss at its core is a story about making the best of a bad situation. It will be survival heavy with a focus on problem/puzzle solving. Fights will happen, but know that fighting may often not be the right answer. You will often be outmanned, out-equipped, and simply unprepared. The travel times and focus on survival does however lend to a much higher focus on roleplay and exploration over combat.

How will character creation work

Characters will be made at level 1 with using the stat rolling method to generate stats. Any and all official content will be allowed and U.A. content will often be hesitantly allowed. Homebrew will only be allowed after I have scrutinized it thoroughly. Character creation will be done in game through Roll20.
