Red Hand of Doom

About the adventure

The Wyrmsmoke Mountains shook with the thunder of ten thousand screaming hobgoblin soldiers. From the phalanx emerged a single champion. One by one the tribes fell silent as the warlord rose up, red scales gleaming along his shoulders, horns swept back from his head. A hundred bright yellow banners stood beneath him, each marked with a great red hand. He stood upon a precipice and raised his arms. “I am Azarr Kul, Son of the Dragon!” the warlord bellowed. “Hear me! Tomorrow we march to war!” Red Hand of Doom is a Dungeons & Dragons adventure designed for characters beginning at 5th level and ending around 10-11. Confronted with the relentless advance of Azurr Kul’s horde, the characters must undertake vital missions to influence the outcome of the war. Can they shatter the armies of the enemy, or will Azarr Kul’s dreams rain destruction upon the human lands? This scenario was originally published for D&D3.5, but I have converted it to 5th Edition in Roll20.

Gameplay details

About your GM… I have been GMing off and on (mostly on) for over 25 years. I have probably run more D&D (3.5 and 5e combined) than anything else, with Dresden Files RPG (and other FATE games) coming in second. I am also familiar with D&D 4E and remember parts of 2nd edition AD&D. I do NOT subscribe to the thought that any single system is the best system. Instead, I believe one should match the system and the setting together.
