Giant Raid on Broken-Finger
DM: Max
Levels: 5+ Dangerous Combat!
Trade Points for Porto Sicuro: 5-10
Adventure Description:
Our reconnaissance reports told of a massive Giant raid upon our Goliath allies in the Stormlands of Kald, in violation of treaty. The time of the raid is upon us now, and Prince Virhan has called upon our help once more!

Frost Jarl Gilith and Chieftainess of Stone Srezzar have united in common purpose. Their tribes will wreak terrible violence upon the village near the Spire of Broken Fingers–and the Goliath army is expected to respond with a strong defense.

However, our adventure reports reveal that the giants will use fog and the shoulder of the mountain to hide their approach. They may very likely try a flanking maneuver–and a few well-placed giants could do a lot of damage to the scattered dwellings and Goliaths in the region. Thus, Prince Virhan has requested our aid with a few elite adventurers to forestall this potential flanking maneuver and reduce the enemy raiders at a critical location.

In addition, the Adventurer’s Hall has another mission for you. We have reason to suspect that dark forces have been trying to get ahold of giant corpses, as part of their corruption of the isles of the West Marches. Obviously, no good can result of such an outcome, and we greatly fear what may happen; so be on the lookout for this activity, and if an opportunity arises to investigate–seize it! Bonus rewards available upon completion.

Notes:
- This will be a combat-heavy adventure, although some exploration, skill challenges, RP, and even puzzles may show up.
- In combat and skill checks, I usually employ a deeply tactical style, including Flanking rules, a grid, and 3.5e-style diagonals.
- Sometimes, a more narrative style is called for.
- Content warning for descriptions of D&D violence.
- Let’s have fun!

This is a Dungeons and Dragons 5E event.

**Season 3 starts Wednesday February 1st and ends Friday May 5th**

The Arena awaits the souls of those destined for combat. The Master of Conflict forged a realm from the primordial essence of the Astral Plane, and created a demiplane known to adventurers and luminaries from around the multiverse as The Arena. Herein, those selected participate in deadly combat. Winners gain fame and fortune, while the fallen are forgotten.

The Arena is a game focused on player vs monsters combat, great for learning the raw mechanics of the game, & trying out new builds. Players can bring 1 to 4 characters for arena-play, or a pre-generated character can be provided by the store. Use the point-buy system, average HP rounded up for levels 2-20. As a house-rule, all arena characters start with a feat. Variant humans & custom lineage are not playable races in the arena. The Arena is drop in/drop out. Your characters will retain all prestige and loot earned from game to game.

All official wizards of the coast 5e books are fair game, & you can use any number of books for your builds. All arena characters start at 1st level.

The phases of play are as follows:

1. Players and DM prepare. Ask questions, precast spells, purchase items, etc.
2. Players will be teleported into the arena and their objective is to survive, find the treasure, and defeat all enemies. If the loot is not secured by the time the enemy is defeated, loot will be forfeit.
3. Roll initiative
4. Try and Survive...

Gameplay starts at 5:30, but tables may start forming at 5pm as players and DMs arrive. If the tables are full and you would like to play, please let the DMs know. We will do our best to get you on the next match as we do multiple sessions each Arena day (Wednesday / Friday).

**Characters that competed in the arena prior to the current season will not be eligible to join, players will need to create new characters each season.

This event is at Off The Shelf Games and there is a $5.00 entrance fee for non-members to the store.

COVID Notice: Please stay home if you have reason to believe you have any contagious illness including COVID. As at other businesses that offer food, masks are not required at the table. By RSVPing you assume full responsibility for your own health and safety.
