Cincinnati Adventurers Guild

Book Rack/Hero's Hearth is staying open late for these events. For the $40 admission, you get a guaranteed spot for all nights of one multi-session adventure and one soft drink every week.*

Four adventures will be offered at levels 10, 11, 12, and 13. You may use the same character in each successive adventure. Please have at least intermediate experience with D&D 5\5.5e.

It always begins the same way, "You find a book..."

The book is a heavy tome with covers of white marble bound in pale blue leather. A large padlock prevents the book from being opened and resists all attempts to open it with magic. You were intending to take it out of Candlekeep to research the Wind Dukes of Aaqa, when it suddenly opens and a djinni appears.

This game will use the most current D&D 5.5 edition ruleset published in 2024. Please completely generate your own character beforehand. Contact event organizer for help.

Character Creation:

• Only the following sources can be used: 2024 PHB, XGtE, TCoE, MotM.
• Level 10
• Standard array or point buy.
• Average HP per level.
• Starting equipment + 5000 GP (you may not buy additional magic items).
• 1 rare, 3 uncommon, and 2 common magic items from the 2024 DMG (subject to approval).

Ironspine Keep is all that stands before a monstrous horde sent by the villainous lich Szass Tam. The heroes must defend a section of the fortress walls from encroaching monsters and internal spies, or the region will fall to Szass Tam’s tide of death.

The adventure is designed for four to six level 4 characters. Accompanying the adventure are character sheets for the six protagonists of the beloved 1980s Dungeons & Dragons animated series: Bobby, Diana, Eric, Hank, Presto, and Sheila, all presented in young adulthood. The seventh character sheet presents Niko, a Cleric from a different set of adventurers who recently tumbled into the D&D multiverse. Each player can choose one of these characters or provide a character of their own.

The Curious Tale of Wisteria Vale is bound in green leather, with leaves and vines carefully burned into the corners of the front and back covers. The title is embossed in gold on the front, but no author is credited on the outside or inside of the book. The book is six inches wide, nine inches tall, and an inch thick. The thick, cream-colored pages emit a faint scent of flowers and grass. The writing is neat and steady, each line inscribed in practiced calligraphy.
Although the design of the book is simple, the crafting and materials are of the highest quality. The Curious Tale of Wisteria Vale is the script of a play written in Common. It is split up into three acts, telling the story of a heroic bard before he becomes corrupted by evil. In fact, the book is a magic object that transforms into a portal when the activation phrase is spoken...
