Eberron: Confidential. Hallowed Halls Heist (D&D5e 2024)
Details
From afar, the glittering towers of Sharn seem warm and inviting. But that beauty belies a seedy underbelly where the common citizen ekes out a living and those with some amount of talent or experience can ply their trade as an agent for hire. The dark alleys erupt with slung spells and whizzing bullets. Tales of intrigue, crime, and double deals abound. This adventure is one of those tales... Join us for Eberron: Confidential.
Note: Please join the event even if its full! We are trying to gauge community interest so we know how many DMs we should recruit to support our player population!
Questions Concerns: If you have any questions, please feel free to message me on Discord(@vinbear) or here on Meetup.

This week's plothook:
Your neighborhood watering hole has drawn the attention of the local Boromar Clan capo, Sammy "the Stork" Storcoulla, and has tasked the barkeep to find some able agents to break into a museum to recover a priceless artifact. If you fail, the bar will be burnt to the ground...
Feel free to make a character or use one of the Pre-Generated Characters available! (See below for Pre-Gen bios and Character Creation Guidelines)
Pre-Generated Characters:
The Punchy Priest: Tiefling Pugilist (Street Saint)
As the Priest of a small neighborhood parish, sometimes donations weren't enough to keep up with upkeep for the chapel and grounds. Thankfully, there are always those willing to pay for someone who knows how to engage in some rowdy fisticuffs.
Tags: Melee, Tanky, Intimidating, Heals
The Cautious Convict: Dwarf Rogue (Soul-Knife)
Everyone has a calling, unfortunately this Convict is acutely aware of a little voice in his head that goads him into committing crimes. Granted, it also makes him pretty good at getting away with it.
Tags: Melee or Ranged, Perceptive, Stealthy, Jack of all Trades
The Wandering Warmage: Tiefling Sorcerer (Divine Soul, fire focus)
In the Last War, Warmages changed the face of the battlefield, taking and saving lives in equal measure. After the War you got used to a certain level of comfort, but without a Warmage's salary, you have to keep up appearances somehow. Your way with words, both mundane and magical is the skill you ply when it comes to taking up jobs.
Tags: Ranged, Magic, Intimidating, Persuasive, Heals
The Whimsical Wandslinger: Khorovar(H.Elf) Warlock (Archfey patron)
Winning at a game of cards is almost child's play to you. It makes for an easy living, but the thrill of being chased is like no other. In Sharn, there are plenty of dangerous crews to join up with and get that thrill!
Tags: Ranged, Magic, Charismatic, Mobile
The Alcoholic Alchemist: Gnome Artificer (Alchemist)
Without a war, there is less need for a potion master. But alchemy is only a stone's throw from brewing, and the product must be tested before sale! You've always liked testing your product, but sometimes it gets you into trouble... So far, it's nothing that your trusty sidearm hasn't been able to handle.
