S4: Wintertides ’25 MTE: Death Off The Shelf | Lvls. 3 - 6 | DM Johnny Q

Levels: 3 - 6

Adventure Description:

‘Twas the night before Wintertides . . . and all through Primordia a rift opens as a grand spell is cast by Mama Rue, a Bheur hag, that is causing a giant pine tree to stop all travel between the Father of Wintertides workshop and Primordia. One of the elves of the workshop, Buttons, has asked you and others to help him to stop the hag. But as soon as the rift opens, Buttons gets sucked up into it as he calls out, “Help us! It’s up to you to stop Mama Rue!” Now Wintertides is in crisis, and you see the joy of this special time of year being sucked up into the tree and the rift. So, it’s up to you and others to stop the hag from ruining this special time of year.

Notes:

• The adventure is for players with characters that are levels 3 – 6 only.
• All my adventures do include the following mechanics at my table:
• I do a modified initiative system (DC20) – Each combat encounter will have a DC that the group initiative roll must beat to be first in the initiative order. If the group fails, then they will be last as a group in the order. I will provide more information at the table.
• I do a crunchy-crunchy crit system – any natural 20’s will do double max damage and then the player will roll for their last part of the damage.
• I provide a pool of inspiration for each player at the beginning of each session.
• I encourage all players to add their character to my D&D Beyond campaign and will provide a great incentive to do so.
• I encourage teamwork and RPG at every possible moment.
• Most of all I want to see all my players having fun!

Additional Notes:

• This is an MTE where you should expect to assist and be assisted by characters at our partner tables.
• Chance of death will be dependent on the PC’s actions or inactions.
