About the adventure

AT MY SIGNAL, UNLEASH HELL! The Elsir Vale has known a decade of peace following the rise of the Red Hand. The valley, as well as the town of Brindol, has flourished after adventurers defeated the threat posed by the hobgoblin armies. But now, from out of the hills to the north, a new threat has emerged. Natives of Brindol have been abducted, and the town’s war museum—dedicated to those fallen in the war against the Red Hand—has been raided and desecrated. Meanwhile, beyond the Vale, the rumbling rumors of more trouble have begun to surface. Warbands forming in the mountains… Monsters crawling forth from the dark bowels of the world… And people everywhere have begun waking up at night in a cold sweat, uncertain where their feelings of dismay and panic come from…

How will character creation work

▶ I share my D&D Beyond content through a Campaign Link and link it with a Discord bot (Avrae) ▶ Roll for stats in the bot-rolls channel or default back to point buy or standard array. ▶ We will use average health. ▶ All WOTC sourcebooks are available, no banned content. ▶ If you don't want to make a character, that's fine. I have a list of pre-generated characters available.
