See all- TAC S4-LVL 1-5: Searching for Love| W/DM JohnnyQ [thy_lord]Off the Shelf Games, El Cajon, CA
Levels: 1 - 5
Adventure Description:
Brookshire. A quaint seaside hamlet nestled outside of Grimhammer Mountain has long been a refuge to all of the people of Primordia. The quiet streets, the fair weather, and the gentle oceans that surround Brookshire Isle (or Grimhammer Isle, depending on who you ask) has been the draw for many a sea weary stranger.
Having found your way to Brookshire, you find the town charming and a bit rustic. It doesn’t have any of the big city feels of Duhl Beer’kra, Castra Taurinorum, or Darak’Var. But the ale is great, and the food is pretty decent. You are enjoying a nice lunch at the Wicked Harpoon tavern when you are approached by an older woman who asks if you are for hire. She has gold that she will be able to part with, but she is in desperate need of assistance. The countenance of the woman and her bloodshot eyes gave you the impression that she hasn’t slept for days which may have included weeping. You give in and she tells you to meet her at her home located on the north side of Brookshire.
You follow her instructions and come up to a modest home that has some semblance of a Rimorian manor home. You knock on her door and are greeted by a young boy who leads you to a study with a table and you see others sitting around a table. The woman is sitting at the head of the table and introduces herself as the Mayor of Brookshire, Shalia Elmstone. She explains that her oldest daughter has been missing for some time, and she believes that her daughter may have gone to the forest on the island across Blorg’s Bridge. She is asking that you find her daughter and bring her back home. It’s a simple job of locating a lost girl in a forest, what can go wrong?
Notes:
- The adventure is for 1 - 5 level players 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:
- Chance of death will be dependent on the PC’s actions or inactions.
