Forge Premier One-Shot: The Clockwork Castle

2024 D&D 5th Edition | Level 8 | Monday, October 12th | Limited Seats
Once every hundred years, the legendary Clockwork Castle of Aurelion descends from the clouds and opens its gates to visitors.
For one day, adventurers are allowed to walk its impossible halls, cross bridges suspended over the sky, and witness the enormous magical mechanism said to keep the castle—and perhaps time itself—running.
This year, the celebration lasts exactly seventeen minutes.
Then the clocks stop.
The gates slam shut.
The royal family disappears.
And every clock in the castle begins counting backward.
The party quickly discovers that the castle is transforming around them. Staircases rotate into walls. Entire rooms move between towers. Portraits argue with visitors. Suits of armor begin enforcing laws written centuries ago. Bridges retract without warning, and enormous gears turn beneath floors that were never meant to open.
Something has taken control of the castle's Grand Astral Clock.
To escape, the party must race through the ever-changing fortress, restore its shattered mechanisms, recover the missing Crown Gears, and reach the highest tower before the countdown reaches zero.
Along the way they'll face clockwork knights, malfunctioning magical servants, impossible puzzles, moving rooms, and creatures that have been trapped between seconds for generations.
But when the party finally reaches the Grand Clock, they'll discover that someone stopped it intentionally.
Because the castle isn't counting down to its destruction.
It's counting down to a reset.
And if the Clockwork Castle rewinds itself, everything caught inside its magic may be sent back with it.
