original title: - Session '0' 10/20/2024 - Halloween 3-week "one-shot" + Long Term -N ewish DM - LF 6 New Players - Eng, Sundays-TBD, Free, Homebrew The Session: The Manor This will be a Halloween one-shot session, 3 weeks, 1 Session '0' meet&teach and 2 sessions of 3-4 hours each. We'll start at level 1. If we decide to continue, we could go on up to 6 - 12 months up to level 8? Halloween Event: The Manor Just outside of Marylock Village there is an old stone mansion surrounded by fields of grain and long grasses. During a moon lit night you can hear a woman screaming into the darkness like a banshee. Her screams have grown louder and there have been reports of attacks from outside the village. The roads are no longer safe. There must be someone who can stop these creatures from invading our homes! The small village of Marylock culminates at the Slurping Stirge Tavern, perhaps you can find more information there. Continuation World Event: The Wishing Stones A messanger arrives to you at night, a letter urging you to seek and find the ancient treasure known as the Wishing Stones, promising you each a stone for yourself and those who would join you on this monumental quest. Your party will unite and there will be much treasure, but be warned, there will be dangers ahead as well. Hold fast, and you will succeed. If you doubt the sincerity of my claim, take this here, 100 gold pieces as a token of my good faith. Do with it what you will. But if you seek rewards beyond your wildest dreams, join me at Marylock Village at the Slurping Stirge Tavern. I will offer you the key. The Manor: Rumors tell of an old manor that no one dare reenter for it is haunted by a dark demonic spirit. Shrill shrieks in the night echo through the stone chambers. A smell of death permeates throughout the cold dark rooms.
