No GM. Beginner friendly. Approximately two hours.  \nThe Story  \nThe Rogue did not mean to release the demon, Sorax, from his prison beneath the temple. The Rogue broke into steal from the temple’s treasury, but the traps and sigils that guarded Sorax’s prison-box were too enticing to ignore. Upon his release, Sorax nearly killed the Rogue, but the Rogue was saved by the kind old Cleric who called the temple home. The vengeful temple priests wanted to punish the young Rogue, but the Cleric took the Rogue under their wing and promised to make things right. To track Sorax, the Cleric emptied their purse to hire their friend, the Ranger, a hard and capable mercenary who knew the country well. Along the way the three of them befriended the Sorcerer, a young arcane prodigy with a terrible power and a mysterious past.  \nFor one year, the party pursued the demon and confronted the terrible destruction that he left in his wake. To their horror, they eventually discovered that Sorax was amassing components to fuel a terrible ritual. Sorax plans to open a portal to the Abyss and summon a vast demonic army to ravage the mortal plane.  \nTonight, the party has finally caught up with Sorax, who waits within a ruined woodland castle just over the next hill. Tomorrow, a solar eclipse will plunge the land into darkness, and Sorax will begin his fell ritual. But with his attention occupied, Sorax will be vulnerable. The party plans to attack Sorax head on, allowing the Sorcerer to use a Scroll of Greater Banishment, which will exile Sorax back into the Abyss from whence he came. Sorax knows that the party is coming to face him, and he has gathered many powerful monsters to guard him. The Rogue, the Cleric, and the Ranger must protect the Sorcerer long enough to use the powerful scroll. Among the four, only the Sorcerer possesses the necessary arcane skill, and the party only has the single scroll. There is no backup plan.  \nHowever, the climactic battle isn’t until tomorrow. Tonight, the party has made camp, the autumn night is clear and crisp, and the fire is warm and comforting. Over their past year together, the party has shared many adventures, plundered many treasures, and killed many monsters. Even so, tomorrow’s mission weighs heavily on their minds. This may be their last night together. Even if they succeed, they may not all survive.  \nThis is the story of their last long rest before their climatic encounter with Sorax.  \nWhat is this game?  \nThis is a Live-Action Role-Playing game (LARP) about D&D characters, but it is not a game of D&D. There are character sheets, but there aren’t any stats and you won’t need any dice to play. Instead , this is a game about D&D characters as people.  \nIn this game you will roleplay four characters sitting around a campfire and talking to each other. Unlike D&D character sheets, the pre-generated character sheets on pages 3 and 4 detail the four characters’ thoughts and feelings, their opinions of each other, and their interpersonal wants and needs. The character sheets are not secret. In fact, you will each read all four of them before you choose your characters!  \nYour goal is to breathe life into your character and to help the others do the same with theirs. The setting and backstory are yours to play with. Any additional details can be improvised as needed. Each character has things they need to say , and they each have words that they need to hear from the others. This is the eve of the final battle. They may not get another chance.  \nPreparing for the LARP  \nEach player should read all four pages of this game, including all four character sheets. As a group, discuss the characters and assign the characters using any method you like. Once characters are assigned, pause to discuss any problems or confusion that you might have regarding the story or characters. Work together to answer any questions that arise.
