About the adventure
The Cormanthor forest is a vast expanse of forest largely abandoned by civilization. Caravan duty through the forest to Kuringrove can be dangerous. Normally you only have to deal with bandits and the odd goblin band, but recently there are rumors of strange goings on in the forest: A malevolent spirit, frenzied wildlife, and a strange creature roaming the forest. The sleepy and idyllic little villagers of Kuringrove know of a well-kept secret deep in the Cormanthor Forest. If you're lucky, you might stumble across the home of two elderly seers, who have lived here for longer than there's been a village. They may be the only ones who can provide answers for all the strange goings on in the forest!

Gameplay details
***My table is not a place for racism, homophobia, ableism, body shaming, transphobia, and misogyny, including microaggressions in or out of game.*** Before the scheduled game, I will send a consent checklist where you can set your comfort/boundary level with various topics. Once collected, I will anonymously reveal results prior to the game so everyone is on the same page. Before the game starts, I will ask the party if there are any last minute Lines and Veils that need to be set. The "X" card is a tool that can be used at any point during the session to skip any uncomfortable content. This adventure will be played using battle maps with tokens (forge/foundry VTT) with some Theater of the Mind. Out of the three pillars of play (exploration, roleplaying, and combat), this one-shot features exploraton and combat with some roleplaying sprinkled about. Players will face various creatures and encounters that may have more than one way to resolve the ordeal.

How will character creation work
Characters will be at 3rd-level. You can use standard array or point buy to roll characters and use any platform/app/paper to record your character. I would ask that you send a copy of your sheet to look over and have as reference. I can also provide blank character sheets if needed. Please limit character creation material to those in official D&D/WotC books. I am happy to help with character creation prior to the session.
