A mysterious map hints at the gathering of sinister forces near Thentia.

I feel like life goes by faster and faster. We're here again, the final day of another Premier League season! Let's go back to The Ashburn Pub for the festivities. So, the way this works - you all come, whoever your team is, dressed to the nines in your team colors, regardless of the team and country or division. We all start arriving from 10 and hang out, shooting the breeze about the season just closing out, the ups, the downs, the upcoming World Cup, and whatever else happens to come up. The ten remaining Premier League fixtures all kick off at 11 am. The Pub is uniquely positioned as a venue with plenty of TV screens, where most of them are visible wherever you're standing. The Pub will do whatever they can do show as many of the games as possible. This is likely to be a minimum of 8 of them. Here is the lineup: * Crystal Palace v Arsenal * Manchester City v Aston Villa * Brighton v Man United * Liverpool v Brentford * Nottm Forest v Bournemouth * Sunderland v Chelsea * Fulham v Newcastle * Spurs v Everton * West Ham United v Leeds United * Burnley v Wolves We'll be congregating from 10 to get some breakfast (maybe a mimosa?) and keep an eye on as much of the action as we can with eyes everywhere for Championship Sunday - Join Us!

Rockville Vegans will be picking up trash on the outside of Poplar Spring Animal Sanctuary as part of their adopt-a-highway program. Poplar will provide all the supplies - gloves, bags, and visibility vests. We will be parking just inside the gate as you enter the farm property.

The mad lich Acererak built the Tomb of the Nine Gods not only to house the remains of Omu’s trickster gods, but also to slay interlopers. However, few today even know the tomb exists, and thus it remains an enigma. Rare are the tavern tales that lure adventurers to its gates, and its horrors remain undocumented in the libraries of Candlekeep. The reason for this is simple: not one person who has entered the tomb has lived to tell the tale. Your quest, should you accept, is to traverse to the heart of this tomb and bring down the evil that lurks in its heart. Legends tell the rewards will be beyond your wildest imaginings. If you survive. **This event is hosted using the Dungeons and Dragons 5th edition Adventurers League rules.
