A Deep and Creeping Darkness – One Shot D&D

A platinum mine in the cloud peaks mountains has gone silent. Villagers who fled tell of a terrifying mining accident followed by nightmares and mysterious disappearances. One of the Great Readers of Candlekeep has requested your help. He has sent an old leather-bound book to guide you through the creepy decaying village and the dark twisting tunnels. Will you brave what nightmares await you in the depths of the mountains?

Character Creation

A Deep and Creeping Darkness is a One Shot for 3-6 level 4 characters and should take around 3 hours to complete.

Please create a level 4 character using Point buy or Standard array for skills and Max HP for level 4. You will then get the average for the remaining levels. Characters start with any items and equipment they had during last week’s Candlekeep game, or can choose to bring standard starting equipment for their class plus up to 500 GP worth of items listed in the players handbook.

Everything from Wizards of the Coast is allowed for character creation. You will have access to our compendium to create your character. Here’s what you will be able to work within the charactermancer:

– Player’s Handbook
– Dungeon Master’s Guide
– Monster Manual
– Xanathar’s Guide to Everything
– Volo’s Guide to Monsters
– Mordenkainen’s Tome of Foes

D&D Beyond will not be allowed, you will have to use Charactermancer. You can either use an empty character sheet provided or import your character. We will be more than happy to provide assistance if needed.

Word from your DM

I’ve loved tabletop RPG’s since I discovered D&D 3.5 edition in high school. Since then, I’ve run or been a player in countless games. It’s important to me to gather as much input from my players as possible, because getting players invested in the shared worlds, stories, and characters helps bring everything together into a cohesive and memorable story. The resulting enjoyment and memories are the reason I fell in love with D&D.

I’ve been playing 5e since 2015, putting together a few long-running campaigns as well as dozens of one-shots. I always try to ensure that every character gets a chance to shine every time they play. Each session will include a mix of roleplay and combat, with the occasional opportunity to complete a puzzle or riddle. I can’t wait to immerse my players in the sights, sounds, smells and ambiance of the rich world of dungeons and dragons.

Please be aware that it is necessary to prepare before the game commences. If you fail to make the necessary preparations, such as reviewing these tutorials prior to the start of the game, there is a possibility of being removed from the game.
