The Dream Delvers: More Than a Tithe (Religious Corruption for Absolute Beginners)

About the adventure

A threatening force has taken over a monastery in your home town. Voluntary tithes that have been long donated by some of your childhood friends have now turned into shakedown money. What do you do? --- Are you new to Dungeons & Dragons? If you're been watching Stranger Things on Netflix as I have, then maybe you've thought about what it would take to kill a Demogorgon. Personally, I've never battled one as a player, nor have I conjured one for my players to face. But unless I'm plunging into the depths of the Abyss with a small army of epic-level companions, I try to avoid them. Most Dungeon Masters start you out at level one and let you figure things out yourself. But if you're new to D&D in my game, you will be starting at level zero. You will learn D&D by playing, picking out your class (and maybe even your race), while being guided by various story characters you meet in your adventures along the way. No prior knowledge of the game is required. I specialize in helping players with zero knowledge of the game. Character creation is one of D&D’s most critical aspects. It's often the very aspect that many DMs overlook. Beginning entirely in the theater of the mind, I'll make sure that you take a central role in a story about you and your future adventuring companions. It will be my job to help guide you in character development. So you want to be a hero? Welcome to Dungeons & Dragons! ---
