In the steaming jungles of the east, the Feathered City rises like a jewel from the lush forests. An important stop on many aerial trade routes, the skies above the city are filled with griffons, rocs, and airships from the far corners of the world. But your adventure takes you to the very belly of this exotic city. Forced into the service of a night hag, you must help her find and eliminate her enemy - a demon with no name, that rules from the shadows. This is a mystery adventure for characters level 5-10, and optimized for a party of 5 level 7 characters.

A fiend lurks among the Black Blade goblins. A shapeshifting barghest fashioned by the General of Gehenna to exact revenge on all goblin-kind. Itโ€™s aim: to kill as many goblin leaders as possibleโ€ฆ A masked goblin approaches the party asking for help. Two tribe leaders are dead. But a rival for chief has control of the crime scene. Will the party discover the barghest among the goblin ranks? Can they stop this imposter before it strikes again? Adventure Overview The adventureโ€™s story is spread over 4 parts and takes approximately 4 hours to play. The adventure begins with a Call to Action scene. Part 1: Goblin Politics. Krill sends his emissaries to implore help from any strong intermediary. The party is asked to investigate the murder of Thrawn in Dringlyโ€™s lair. This is Story Objective A. Part 2: The Opposition. Gain entry into Dringlyโ€™s lair and investigate the murder of Thrawn. Gather enough evidence to find the killer. This is Story Objective B. Part 3: To The Lair! Now that the players have determined the barghest (Yeep) is to blame, they need to get to Krillโ€™s lair quickly as he is in imminent danger. This is Story Objective C. Part 4: The Barghest.When the players arrive at the lair, they need to get to Krill and expose and defeat the barghest. This is Story Objective D. Adventure Background A barghest named Yeep has begun its onslaught of attacks against the Black Blade goblins. Starting with Chief Gnar, then his second in command Thrawn, the barghest is moving methodically down the line of command. Krill is now chief. But he has some problems: Two leaders of the Black Blades are dead. Who killed them and why? Is he next? Dringly, the next in command, has decided to take his lair for himself, declaring himself Chief of the Black Blades. Who are the Black Blades? The Black Blades are a tribe of goblins in the local area. They are known for dipping their blades in a dark black substance. It is rumored these blades are poisonous. The Black Blades regularly attack passersby on the road to rob them. The Black Blades have two lairs, one run by a chief who leads the whole tribe, and another overseen by a boss lieutenant. The Black Blades have a well-established pecking order which is how Krill stands to become chief. The next in line is Dringly, who has also declared himself chief and wants Krill dead. Krill suspects that there is something suspicious about two leaders being killed within a day of each other, but he has already burned Gnarโ€™s body without any investigation. He needs to investigate the body of Thrawn, but it is in Dringlyโ€™s lair. Krill wishes to avoid direct confrontation with Dringly at the present for three reasons: 1) Any violence would only kill his own tribe members and further divide the lairs. 2) He believes there is still hope for negotiation to reunite the Black Blades. 3) He believes that if he were to attempt negotiations himself, Dringly would kill him. This adventure features: Two maps. Ready for your favorite Virtual Tabletop. A full color pdf. A black and white pdf. One custom monster, a reprint of barghest, all others available in the Monster Manual. Four hours of entertainment involving: roll playing a goblin bard, investigating a murder scene, tracking down a barghest before it strikes again. Applicable to any setting.

Designed for a party of five characters of at least 9th level, this adventure will challenge players seeking a powerful magic item of the GMโ€™s choosing. A sphere of annihilation has been provided and is woven into several elements of the adventure, but any appropriately powerful item can be substituted if something else suits your campaign better. Though the adventure is designed to test every type of character class, a rogue who can deal with traps is essential, as is a wizard or sorcerer of at least 9th level. Larger groups will have an easier time; parties of four or fewer characters will be in for a very bad time unless you mitigate some of the towerโ€™s more lethal traps and encounters. This adventure culminates in an encounter with devils and a sphere of annihilation. The sphere of annihilation is hidden deep within the tower-and-dungeon complex of Crane the Sorcerer. Originally set atop a high mountain in a secluded and wild part of the world, the tower and dungeon can be relocated to meet the situation in your campign. Crane, an introvert, stayed as far away from civilization as possible, as is detailed below. The tower above the dungeon doesnโ€™t present many difficulties for a group of powerful characters or alert players. It might lull PCs into a false sense of security before they enter the areas where theyโ€™ll really be put to the test.

Raโ€™s Evil Grin challenges adventurers of at least 11th level who are seeking a powerful magic itemโ€”the globe of Arden. If a different item suits your campaign better, another appropriate powerful item can be substituted as the final objective. This dungeon culminates in a battle with Dendorandra, a lesser marilith known as a dark daughter. As a lead-in to this adventure, the GM may use a map from another treasure hoard showing the location of the globe (detailed more fully in โ€œThe Legend of the Globe of Arden,โ€ below) or a priestly tome describing Arden, the long-dead avatar of Ra, and the wondrous powers of an unknown artifact called the globe of Arden. Such a tome might mention that the globe emits rays as intense as those of the sun, destroying all they touch. In any event, characters should need to consult with sages and oracles to determine the location and history of the globe and dungeon. A sage could also provide a map to the dungeonโ€™s location, referenced in the โ€œThe Legend of the Globe of Arden,โ€ below. We set the dungeon on a small, remote island far across the sea, but you can relocate it to suit your campaign. This dungeon provides numerous puzzles, a few traps, and only two monsters. Those monsters, though few in number, should challenge and threaten even the most combat-hardened partyโ€”particularly after the party encounters all the vicious creatures that inhabit the Island of the Globe.

A 5E adventure, Heroes of Green Hollow centers on an idealistic figure named Ler Dolis, and the community that has come to treasure him in his twilight years. They seek the help of a band of adventurers to dissuade mysterious raiders scouting the village. However, everyone finds themselves in over their heads when these raiders turn out to be only a small part of an army of well-trained mercenaries. Players must recruit allies, heal local wounds, and confront the looming threat- all while they reckon with the brutality that lurks inside and out. Heroes of Green Hollow is a D&D adventure that asks what it costs to leave a lasting legacy of goodness, and challenges players to recognize the consequences of drawing their sword. โ—† Difficult choices lead to completely distinct events and outcomes โ—† Guidance for creating characters with deep ties to the story โ—† Powerful DM tools for customizing the adventure to player preferences โ—† Low on prep time, high on drama and big narrative moments ๐‡๐ž๐ซ๐จ๐ž๐ฌ ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐†๐ซ๐ž๐ž๐ง ๐‡๐จ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐จ๐ฐโ€ฆ โ€ข Is an all-new campaign book for the D&D 5E system. โ€ข Designed for parties levels 3-5 โ€ข 200 pages long. โ€ข Features over 17 original full-color painterly illustrations and 11 new custom full-color maps โ€ข Includes a range of specialized character backgrounds and story hooks to help DMs integrate their parties deeper into the story. โ€ข Tools and tips to support new DM's running their first full campaign. ๐‡๐ž๐ซ๐จ๐ž๐ฌ ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐†๐ซ๐ž๐ž๐ง ๐‡๐จ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐จ๐ฐ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐š๐ฏ๐š๐ข๐ฅ๐š๐›๐ฅ๐ž ๐จ๐ง ๐ƒ๐Œ๐ฌ๐†๐ฎ๐ข๐ฅ๐.๐œ๐จ๐ฆ! ๐–๐š๐ง๐ญ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ญ๐ซ๐ฒ ๐›๐ž๐Ÿ๐จ๐ซ๐ž ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐›๐ฎ๐ฒ? ๐˜๐จ๐ฎ ๐œ๐š๐ง ๐ฌ๐œ๐จ๐ฉ๐ž ๐จ๐ฎ๐ญ ๐š ๐Ÿ๐ซ๐ž๐ž ๐ฉ๐ซ๐ž๐ฏ๐ข๐ž๐ฐ ๐ก๐ž๐ซ๐ž! https://green-hollow.com/preview/ ๐๐ซ๐š๐ข๐ฌ๐ž ๐Ÿ๐จ๐ซ ๐‡๐ž๐ซ๐จ๐ž๐ฌ ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐†๐ซ๐ž๐ž๐ง ๐‡๐จ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐จ๐ฐ: โ€œGreen Hollow is an amazing adventure that hopefully paves the way for more of its kind.

Some good examples include strong NPC dialogue, interior and exterior descriptions, DM Tips, and sidequests which make navigating the information easy but all give guidance in how to run this campaign. This also comes into play with the Combat tips. A powerful monsterโ€™s stat block can be quite daunting but the team have worked well to create easy to read guidance.

Matthew and Ryan have taken a different approach with Green Hollow to encourage the characters to fight for peace.
