In the Heart of the Forest
 |
An atmospheric one-shot adventure set in a dark forest for one-on-one or parties of level 5 or 6. There are two new sidekick classes¸ NPCs¸ and leveling tables included with handouts for your player! In this adventure¸ the characters gather information in the small village of Redvale on the outskirts of the Blackwoods Forest. They go into the forest in search of Adelle¸ a druid whose other eleven Circle members have disappeared within the last year. Inside the forest¸ they discover several undead beings¸ including a wood woad¸ who guides them to Adelle. She and her Circle learned a year before of a sorceress's plan to extend her power beyond the forest¸ a death sentence for the village of Redvale and the lands beyond. Adelle is the last one left. Adelle is suspicious of the party at first¸ but she might help them get to the center of the forest to investigate the dark sorceress and try to put a stop to her destructive plans. This adventure sets a mysterious woodland ambiance that lends itself to an immersive one-shot experience! This Adventure Includes: Full one-shot adventure for levels 5 or 6 Two sidekick characters (or DMPCs) with handouts for your player Two new sidekick classes and unique leveling tables: the archer and the Circle of the Phoenix druid Mechanics for running a sidekick Beautiful art Well-rounded NPCs Two custom NPC stat blocks A new custom creature and Two custom magical items Connecting to Other One-on-One Adventures For those who have played our previous adventures¸ like the Crystalline Curse Trilogy ¸ this one-shot takes a slightly darker turn¸ but it will still follow those three very well. Our other new adventure¸ The Proving Glade ¸ is also available on DMsGuild! While these two adventures are not necessarily connected¸ they both involve navigating difficult and dangerous scenarios in a forest and could naturally be strung together! There are notes for scaling the adventure and running it as a two-person game inside so it can be easily adjusted for any table. You'll also find mechanics notes for running a sidekick character!
