This adventure for Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition is suitable for four to six players using 1st level characters. The adventure requires little to no prep or background to run, and can easily slot into any campaign setting. At the conclusion of the adventure, the player characters should attain 2nd level. You can use this adventure to kickstart an entire campaign, and there are a few ideas at the end of the adventure as to how you might continue it, or you can simply use this as a standalone one shot adventure. At the average table, this adventure should take roughly 1-2 four hour play sessions to complete, but may take longer or shorter depending on the size and style of your table. Regardless of length, the encounters in this adventure are meant to hit on all three main pillars of D&D, giving new players a guided introduction through each major element of the game. The lumber village of Greenflower sits against the expanse of the Lilygrove Wood, an untamed frontier teeming with beautiful sights and horrific dangers. On the morning after a thunderous storm sweeps through the village, disrupting livestock and even sending a tree crashing through a farmhouse, a young green grung wanders into town asking for help. Speaking in broken common, the grung introduces himself as Arlo, a young forager who was separated from his family during the storm and needs help making his way safely home. As the party escorts him through the wilderness, they seethe aftermath of the destruction that last night's storm wrecked on the forest. They are given the options to help a baby red pseudodragon separated from his mother, to help a Bling Dog fend off ravenous woodland beasts, and to either destroy or make diplomatic relations with the Dryad that is responsible for the recent storm. As Arlo leads the party through the woods, they encounter hostile creatures which are discovered to be the minions of Mother Lyria, a dryad who resents the lumbering activities of Greenflower for destroying her home. At the climax of the adventure, the party meets with Lyria herself. The encounter may turn into a dangerous boss battle, or become the start of diplomatic relations between Greenflower and Lilygrove Wood. The adventure concludes with the party returning Arlo to his family, and being gifted a sizable reward. While the adventure ends here, depending on the parties choices, they are a variety of paths the epilogue could take, including spawning whole new adventures for the party. Lilygrove Wood encompasses a densely forested area dotted with small glades and bodies of water, broken up by streams and thin corridors of grassland and marshes. Altogether, the dense forest makes a haven for fearsome wolves, bears, mountain lions, and their fantastical counterparts, dire wolves, owlbears, and manticores. But wandering the trails, travelers can still spy hopping dens of bunnies, white-tailed deer, and even red or gray foxes. The forest is a full and robust ecosystem, with the game trails being the safest parts of the wood. Lilies are common along the trails, according to the forest’s namesake. Silvery elms and drooping willows make up large swathes of this deciduous forest. Along the edges, once great growths of pine trees have been largely cut down for timber. The western edges ofthe forest are now a maze of dead branches and stumps, the wildlife that once lived there either relocated or extinguished. But in the heart of the wilderness travelers can hear sweet birdsong intermixed with the rushing creeks that feed into the central marsh land. There, the buzzing of mosquitos takes over and the smell of sulfur permeates the air as tall spires of steam can be seen drifting over the tallest trees. 1 Greenflower is the typical farming village, with an emphasis on their lumber economy for purposes of trade and expanding the population. The village is run by a small council of humans and halflings. The party may be in town for any reason you deem fit fo
