The island continent of Eleri contains many different lands, but this story takes us into the wilds of the Ardent Swamp. Your party’s journey began weeks ago, in the frigid mountains where you were hired by a timber company. Now, as you approach the end of your journey you need only get your cargo of rare Jasmine Pine logs through the sweltering swamp.
This edge of the empire is known for being a little backward, but as long as you keep to the King’s Road, things should remain quiet. All you need to do is find lodging for the night in the sleepy swamp town of Higgit’s Bend and then continue on to your final destination of Orchard on Evves in the morning.
Surely nothing ill could befall you in this former mining town, deep within a mostly uncharted swamp.
This game will be great if you like Scooby Doo, The Mummy, and Campy Horror
Players should build Level 5 characters ahead.
Use point-buy or standard array for stat generation.
Any officially published content for classes, feats, etc is fine. Permanent flying features excluded.

Your character could come from any background, but you’re currently working as a delivery person for a timber company. You’ll only be paid if you can get your cargo to it’s destination. Your party has a wagon to transport this cargo.
You have 100g to purchase any armor, standard weapon, or standard adventuring equipment you want during character creation.
For spellcasters: if the spell components you need have no price, assume that you have them. Otherwise, you must factor this into your starting gold.
If you have any backstory notes, please let me know. Please send me a copy of (or link to) your character sheet at least 2 days before we play.
