D&D 5E What is TO SAVE A KINGDOM?

A few years ago, the adventure (for Pathfinder at the time) TO SLAY A DRAGON was published. It had a 'trailer' (a little primitive by today's standards!) and it featured a group of heroes trekking across the land to face and defeat a dragon which was terrorizing the realm.

A few years ago, the adventure (for Pathfinder at the time) TO SLAY A DRAGON was published. It had a 'trailer' (a little primitive by today's standards!) and it featured a group of heroes trekking across the land to face and defeat a dragon which was terrorizing the realm. Simple, fun stuff.

All is not well in Hengistbury. Children have been disappearing into the Weirwood; howls of an unearthly nature have been echoing across the Fogmoor; and Three-Fingered Jake has been speading rumors of treasure and hauntings in the ruins of Brockendale Castle. All this aside, however, tonight is a warm, balmy evening. Many of the villagers are gathered in and outside the Bleeding Heart Tavern, and troubles seem far away.

Well, except for that dragon in Skull Mountain...



Over the years, it was revised for 5th Edition, and two sequels -- TO STAKE A VAMPIRE and TO SMITE A FIEND -- were released.

To Slay A Dragon
This grand adventure leads from the sleepy town of Hengistbury on a journey across the land to challenge a red dragon who dwells in a volcano lair called Kás Firadon, or more commonly known as Skull Mountain, but the journey is not so simple. To get there and succeed the party must win the hearts and minds of townsfolk, best fey of all sorts, overcome the trickery of fiends, fight corruption in ancient forests, travel the tunnels of Underland, and much more as they equip themselves with powerful artifacts for the battle of a lifetime!

To Stake A Vampire
The PCs find that the peoples of Hengistbury and Thornbury have suddenly turned dour and agitated. Once the meddlings of one vampire are revealed, the adventurers discover the first of several tombs of defenders against the undead from long past. Can they find the source of primordial wickedness before it engineers an even darker age to enshroud the world? What lies ahead includes spooky sandbox settlements, several dungeon crawls, and a dangerous finale filled with intrigue.

To Smite A Fiend
After a reign of malevolence that’s become known as the Dark Winter, it seems as though the realm has earned a bit of calm. The peoples of Elissar have returned to their normal selves, the recent curses across the countryside now but a painful memory. This peace is soon to be shattered however as the local dabbler of the arcane takes his studies too far, undertaking rituals that will endanger not just Holdenshire or Endora, but Elissar itself!

Now, we're revisiting the story. We're revising and expanding it greatly, updating it for Level Up: Advanced 5th Edition (it's still compatible with 5E though!) and launching a brand new Kickstarter for the full hardcover adventure path, comprised of all three adventures, taking heroes from 3rd-13th level. We're calling this 300+page quest TO SAVE A KINGDOM.

Also, and I can't state this enough, the second adventure contains a vampiric dire bear.

Have you been to LevelUp5E.com yet?
Also: there are skull goblets.

And the storyteller-mage sagagætir across Laskia, and the ancient infernal dwarven kingdom of Zustramet, dark magic abounding in the fell halls of The Festung, a race for the Pearl of Dark Waters, that Millennium Carnival in the thieves' city of Morrigan, the long line of the Pembertons and their vampire hunting ancestor, ooooh and the Fiendbloom, and all those undead-slaying relics like the sun-blasting Leilan Artifice or unstoppable Noltsledge, and the fearful Black Axe (and his black axe), and the songs, and the spirit soldiers, oh and that freaky angel, plus that web puzzle, and the secret beneath the massive bridge of Nas Laed.

Really though: #SkullGoblet

I'm backing this but really hope the reason for trekking all that way across the landscape isn't just let's kill a dragon because that's what adventurers do. There should be a really good reason to travel all that way is all i'm saying.

Is the art by humans? Or at least dire bears while in human form?

Wait, wait, WAIT! These mofos have already recently come out with a campaign like this?

Looks over at my most recent work, sees that I too have been working on a campaign that revolves around slaying a dragon. Flips table and dives out a window.

Not too long ago I was listening to Ronnie James Dio's Killing the Dragon song and was inspired to write a D&D campaign that's climax leads to the slaying of a dragon. Also inspired by such movies as Dragon Slayer. Now this. Oh well, I'll do it anyway... :cautious:

I mean, the Beowulf poet did it more than 1,000 years ago.

Inspired in part by that, there was an Oxford don who wrote a little story about the subject, with an extra bit about a Ring of Invisibility, that you might have heard of.

I've been running a campaign since 2006 that is still nominally about killing a big dragon that once threatened and may yet again threaten the player characters' home town.

There's lots of room for takes on this very classic subject.

If I am not mistaken wasn't Beowulf like 85 and got toasted and then somebody else had to do it? I haven't read Grendel since college.

I have never heard of The Hobbit, not once :ROFLMAO:
