The people of the Obsidian Mountains have many stories of what they call the Bell Chapel. Sitting in a remote and dangerous part of the forest, it was said to once be a temple to a Twin Faced God of the Underworld. Hundreds of years ago people would come from far and wide with the remains of their loved ones, so that they might be carefully tended to by the monks and sent to their final rest. 

The forest was once filled with the songs of clear ringing bells. But now their god's name is forgotten, and the halls of their monastery stand silent. Until now, when the bells ring out through the forest once again. 

In this adventure you’ll play as members of the Red Hand Adventuring League who have been hired to investigate Bell Chapel. Local villagers suspect bandits may be using the old temple as a base of operations but no thefts have been reported yet. 

This game will be great if you like Dimension 20, Indian Jones, or the general idea of adventure stories.     

The players will need to create characters beforehand.             

New players are welcome in this session.

"Far away on the island of Faelos, lies a forest under the watchful eye of the Warden of the Woods. This fearsome creature is a giant made of twisted branches and thorns, burning with a heatless flame from within, it stalks the forest in an endless, pacing circle. 

Traversing the forest is dangerous, but if you can make it to the center, legend says there lies a fountain of the purest water that can cure any disease. Your party has been hired to bring back this water at the request of an ailing elven man. 

This game will be great if you like Labyrinth, Jonathan Strang & Mr. Norel, general fae nonsense

"In this one-shot, you’ll play as members of The Red Hand Adventuring League. Your guild is frequently contracted to kill various beasts or bring back treasures from treacherous dungeons—it’s nice work if you can get it.

But being an adventurer is a hard life, and sometimes a short one. Sometimes the jobs break bad, and that’s where you come in. A member of the guild’s Clean-up Crew, you’re being sent into a long abandoned, and most assuredly haunted, castle to finish what another party has started and bring them home….if there’s anything left.

Well past the outside of town, at the edge of a still lake and the foot of the Obsidian Mountains, lies the manor of Count Võn Dragȗül. Your small town has long dwelt in the shadow of this mysterious nobleman, but little is known about him. So it was all the more shocking to find his wanted ad pinned to the door of the tavern this morning,

“Seeking to hire an enterprising group of mercenaries to rid my ancestral home of a malicious ghostly presence. Payment will be made in land or gold, as you desire. Please report to the front door of my home just after sunset. Those of religious affiliation need not apply.”

"Hi, uh this is Jayden Augustine. My husband and I just bought this really cool old house that we're renovating for a bed and breakfast. And like, sure it's a little haunted but it's really old. And that's part of the charm.

But last night Jacques found me sleepwalking. Which I've never done before. And I was... well I was digging in the basement... And now he says if I don't have someone ‘fix it’ that he's gonna call a priest. Could you... maybe come have a look?"

Every year, a few townsfolk are selected at random to defeat it. This year, your number has come up. A grand festival has been thrown in your honor. You’ve had a taste of every luxury that Hamburgerberg has to offer over the last three days.

As fresh graduates of the Imperial Bardic College in Verdigris, you’re all ready and raring to make your mark on the world. Your journey through the picturesque small towns and taverns of the countryside has brought your merry band to the swamp village of Swanmoor. This town sits on the edge of a dark and haunted swamp – just the place to learn the tales of brave knights or adventurers.

The Red Handed Adventuring Guild is a valuable part of many communities, but they aren’t without their enemies. For years there has been an open rivalry between the guild and the wizards of the Circle of Eight and their College.

Guildmaster Kishtari has learned that a powerful staff created by Mordenkainen’s first librarian will be transported on a ship called The Vivid Morning. She’s asked for intrepid volunteers from the Guild to infiltrate the crew of this ship and steal the artifact while it’s in transit. It’s being escorted by a powerful, but elderly wizard and their full escort so only the bravest need apply.

Your life as a sailor on The Salty Dog hasn’t been easy, but it’s not been without its good points. There’s been song, camaraderie, and all the loot you can smuggle along with the hardships.

As a member of the Red Handed Adventurer's Guild, you get to see a lot of exotic...and dangerous locations. So when you hear about a job at a luxury resort, you jump at the chance to get a cushy job for once. Sure there's some sort of rumor of razor-sharp turtles infesting the area.
