Eberron: Confidential. Forgotten Relics (D&D5e 2024)

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 either on Discord(@vinbear) or here on Meetup.

This week's plothook:
Inspector Germaine Vilroy of the Sharn Watch has reached out to agents of your skill to retrieve a witness from the Cogs, the poorest and lowest district of Sharn. She believes her witness has key information regarding a case that could expose connections between the criminal Daask gang from Droaam and one of the Dragonmarked Houses, but can't afford to be seen below the Lower City. Will you and your fellow agents be able to retrieve the witness and get to the bottom of the conspiracy?

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)

Tags: Melee, Observant, Intimidating, Healer

The Cautious Convict: Dwarf Rogue (Soul-Knife)
Everyone has a calling, unfortunately the Convict is acutely aware of the little voice in their head that goads them into shady ventures. Granted, it also makes them pretty good at getting away with it.

The Enthralling Enchanter: Changeling Warlock (GOO patron)
