About the adventure

It only takes just one hour to complete this special one-shot adventure for 3rd-level player characters. The action opens outside the cave of a beautiful witch accused of charming men, luring them away from their families, and cannibalizing them in the darkness. Locals want her gone immediately but they don't care if you convince her to go, chase her away through intimidation, or simply kill her. WARNING: YOUR PLAYER CHARACTER MIGHT DIE! This adventure is short and deadly. There is no guarantee of survival. Player characters who triumph will be rewarded with a deed to farmland they can built on (or simply sell for 1000 gp). Combat will be handled with "Theater of the Mind" rather than a virtual table top (VTT) because it's faster. If you survive the whole hour, you win.

Additional Details

How to prepare

Discord and microphone are essential. Dice rolling will be done through Discord. You don't need to create a backstory (but of course you can!) or show me your character before game time.

What I provide

I own all the books.

Gameplay details

This 1-shot puts more emphasis on combat than exploration or roleplaying. My game is generally PG but any given session may contain depictions of gore, violence, cruelty, and prejudice that may make some players uncomfortable. X's and O's are used and player concerns are taken seriously so the fun isn't interrupted. My games are super LGBTQ+ and BLPOC friendly, and I respect your valuable time.
