Candlekeep: Xanthoria

A fungal plague has exploded across the sword coast, ravaging beast and humanoid alike. Creatures that fall ill sprout disgusting gooey fungal growths before acting like zombies and eventually dissolving into puddles of ooze. Those capable of language chant "Xanthoria" until the end. One of the Great Readers of Candlekeep has found record of a book by the same name, and has called on Candlekeep's greatest adventurers to strike at the source of this plague before the realm is destroyed by the plague. This adventure will be about half roleplay as the players track down the source of the plague, and half combat.

Character Creation

Players may make a new 16th level character with standard starting equipment and an extra 3000gp worth of items from the players handbook, or players can also level up to 16th level any character they've played previously in a Candlekeep game and bring that character. Characters can bring three magic items of their choice at a maximum rarity of two rare and one very rare. Returning players can also instead choose to bring the items and boons their character has collected from previous Candlekeep games.

Everything from Wizards of the Coast is allowed for character creation. You will have access to our compendium with every module to create your character.

D&D Beyond will not be allowed, you will have to use Charactermancer. You can either use an empty character sheet provided or import your character. We will be more than happy to provide assistance if needed.

Please note that this is a paid game at a rate of $15 for this one shot paid before the game on our official Website: https://elitednd.com/events/candlekeep-xanthoria-dd/

A word from your DM

I’ve loved tabletop RPG’s since I discovered D&D 3.5 edition in high school. Since then, I’ve run or been a player in countless games. It’s important to me to gather as much input from my players as possible, because getting players invested in the shared worlds, stories, and characters helps bring everything together into a cohesive and memorable story. The resulting enjoyment and memories are the reason I fell in love with D&D.

I’ve been playing 5e since 2015, putting together a few long-running campaigns as well as dozens of one-shots. I always try to ensure that every character gets a chance to shine every time they play. Each session will include a mix of roleplay and combat, with the occasional opportunity to complete a puzzle or riddle. I can’t wait to immerse my players in the sights, sounds, smells and ambiance of the rich world of dungeons and dragons.
