D&D 5th Edition

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...

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.

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.

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.* Tags: Ranged, Magic, Support, Heals. **Character Creation Guidelines:** [D&D Beyond Link w/ Shared Content](https://www.dndbeyond.com/campaigns/join/7563996667606540) **Rulebooks:** *PHB, DMG, Eberron: Forge of the Artificer, Eberron: Rising from the Last War, The Pugilist Class(2024), Fizban's Treasury of Dragons, Mordenkainen presents: Monster of the Multiverse, Tasha's Cauldron of Everything, Xanathar's Guide to Everything, Book of Many Things* **Character Level:** *4,* **Fixed HP option, Multiclassing w/ pre-requisites** **Attributes:** *Point buy or Standard Array (no rolled stats)* **Starting Equipment / Gold:** *Per starting class and background OR gold option offered by either.

**NEW GAME LOCATION at The Board Room** Let's play board games. Not the ones your ancestors played but the really cool ones of the new millennium. We play everything from fun, social games to light to heavy strategy games. Don't know how to play? Not a problem - we're happy to teach. It's a great chance to learn new games or play your favorites with non-competitive people who like to laugh. You can build a railroad, eradicate a plague, or explore the far reaches of the galaxy in one evening. While many will bring their own games, you can show up gameless and still play. We play at the Board Room in Clarendon on Wednesday from 6:30-10:00. It's within walking distance from the Clarendon metro. **Find us in the far left by the fermentation tanks.** If that area is reserved for a private event, look for us in the middle. Look for a group that has containers and carrying bags with multiple games. We're very fortunate to have this great venue for our game nights and they take care of us for 3-1/2 hours, so please spend a minimum of $10 on food or drink and tip generously (at the very least $2, even if 20% of your bill would be $1). Thanks!

A Starfinder Society Scenario designed for 3rd- through 4th-level characters, playable in 2-3 hours. Kor-Montak is an ancient ritual site where shobhads of old communed with the spirits of the planet Akiton itself. A place of power and pilgrimage, Kor-Montak was abandoned sometime during the Gap and is believed to be cursed. In the ensuing centuries, numerous mystics, leaders, and warriors attempted the pilgrimage up the glacier passes to Kor-Montak, but none returned and Kor-Montak remains a place of myth and memory, lost to time but never forgotten. Impressed by the Starfinder Society’s dedication and ingenuity on a recent joint rescue mission, shobhad geomancer Aruk has invited the Starfinders to explore Kor-Montak and determine the cause of its long-standing curse. Aruk is hopeful the Starfinders can break the curse and return Kor-Montak to its people, as the Starfinder Society is known the galaxy over for their expertise in excavating ancient ruins and handling strange magic. Will you survive the ruins of the world soul? This is an adventure in the ongoing Invasion's Edge metaplot. Written by David N. Ross.
