Flight of the Fireflies: Exploring Wild Magic Mysteries in the Wake of the Flood

About the adventure

What should have been a relaxing trip to a riverside music festival quickly turns into a fight for your life when a tidal wave sweeps away the inhabitants of the tiny town you're visiting, leaving terror and destruction in its wake. Hours later, a trail of orange fireflies appears, leading deep into the swamp. Where the trail ends, no one knows... In this wacky mini-campaign, you find yourself in a vast swathe of mystical swampland bubbling with strange and unpredictable Wild Magic. To traverse it safely, you'll need a copy of the Traveller's Guide...and maybe a boat! On your journey, you will: -Explore the Bubble Bogs and Burning Fens -Discover and battle otherworldly plants and creatures -Uncover a coven's horrifying plot -And much more! You must brave the unforgiving landscape, investigate the mystical events surrounding the surges, and don't forget to follow the fireflies. Can you survive the swamp and save the Soddenweald? And if you can...what price are you willing to pay?
