The Chase!: A West Dungeon One Shot

About the adventure

Standard D&D, Done Well. Once again we find ourselves in the Port City of Luskan. Normally a bustling city on the most regular of days, today the city is alive and buzzing with a recent theft! A rogue mage has stolen the key to the entrance of an old tunnel in Lurkwood Forest far to the East of Luskan. The tunnel grants access to a grove where a former wizard of the Arcane Brotherhood is buried. The Arcane Brotherhood has placed a hefty reward for anyone who can return the key, kill the mage, or preferably both. This is a DND 5E one shot suitable for 2-5 players at level 3 looking for a quick polished game. It is a great game for newcomers and veterans alike, with a roughly 50/20/30 mix of Combat, Roleplay/Mystery and Exploration. It contains puzzles and mysteries which the players will need to solve as they explore. If you're looking for a short game with a few short puzzles and combat, then this is for you!

Additional Details

How to prepare

You must have a roll20 account, discord account and a good mic. There is no requirement for webcams. You will need to have created a character and be ready to go at game start. A pen/pencil and paper will help with the puzzles in this game! Because it is a one-shot, try and keep your backstory simple and be ready to adapt your reasoning for being with the party on the fly. I will ask each player to come up with (or roll for) a reason they are related to the other characters in the party or on this adventure.

What I provide

I am a roll20 pro user and will provide access to all 5e rules and compendiums, patreon exclusive maps with dynamic lighting, custom tokens, and a unique storyline. I will also provide ambient music that changes with each "scene" through discord.

Gameplay details

Players can expect to fight through a mystery as they explore their surroundings in a classic style DND game with a solid grasp of 5e rules, but flexibility where needed. Because it's a one-shot we'll get into the gameplay as quickly as possible. If you have any special requirements please let me know in advance.

How will character creation work

After joining look in your player dashboard to find the roll20 and discord link. Please message me if you are unable to find this. You will create a 3rd level character on roll20 prior to game start by either rolling for stats or using standard array. Please send character art (so I can make tokens) in the Discord if necessary.
