hello! I'll be running another beginner-friendly adventure, this one from Winghorn Press's collection of modules. they've got a very fun and unique set of adventures, ones that were actually my first experiences playing D&D! so if you're interested in joining, go ahead and comment with a new character sheet, I'm hoping for up to five party members!
A Most Potent Brew
The party is sent to deal with a problem that should be instantly familiar to all rookie adventurers — exterminating giant rats that have taken up residence in a beer cellar. However, if they are to achieve their goal, our characters are going to have to get their first taste of a real dungeon as they explore the ruins of an ancient wizard's tower. "A Most Potent Brew" is an adventure that takes characters from 1st to 2nd level, published by Winghorn Press.

The Wizard's Tower
The Wizard's Tower Brewing Co. — a craft brewery known for its hoppy summer ales — is in dire need of help from a band of reliable, affordable adventurers. The owner has posted a job on the local notice boards and is calling in favors from friendly innkeepers all over town to spread the word.
Seems like a nice little one-shot. And if the picture is any indication, I'll get to indulge my hatred of spiders.
Character Name: Fiselius vondus Yaralogus Race: Rock Gnome Class: Wizard (to-be Evocation) Lv 1 spellbook: Earth Tremor, Feather Fall, Mage Armor, Magic Missile, Color Spray, Thunderwave Background: Failed Merchant Sheet Link: https://ddb.ac/characters/69152489/8qMbEo Backstory: For a long time Fiselius tried to make the family clockwork device shop work. But as it were, business just wasn't enough to keep it open. Reluctantly he shuttered the shop and turned to the life of an adventurer in hopes of bringing in some income. When he saw the notice from Wizard's Tower he lept to the opportunity.
For the posting requirement, I'm assuming once a day?
I love it! Heard great things about this adventure. Sounds like the perfect start for my 1st level Paladin. I'm excited to get her out into play. In terms of deities for her to serve, do you allow home brew or is there an existing pantheon to choose from?
Backstory: Raised in an orphanage dedicated to Lathandar, Emmaline found her calling after her best friend was sent to a work camp for a petty crime they both committed. She sought the redemption from her god and received a vision which led her to the order of paladins where she trained. In her moments of weaker faith, she questions whether the path she took was truly in service to her god... or simply a self-destructive attempt to purge her survivors guilt by intentionally putting herself in mortal danger.

@VitusW hehehe, we shall see! and I'd like for the group (as a whole, not individually) to post at least once a day for a good pace, probably. Fiselius looks great, I'm excited to see him in action!
@MAOShea yep, you can go ahead and homebrew her deity! or choose any of the official gods, if you'd like. Emmaline looks perfect, I can't wait to see her in play!
@Houndarchon7 @Buckethat0552 both characters look perfect! thank you for joining in!
we'll wait to see if one more player might like to hop in, and then we can get playing B)
Backstory: Izore never knew her parents. During one of his adventures, Wymar Dumph, a human ranger that used to work as a hunter, found her. He tried to raise her as best as he could and they have a good relationship although he never managed to really provide for both of them due to being too good and people taking advantage of him. A couple of years ago, he got a bad injury that almost cost him his leg and they became even poorer, sleeping in the wilderness or on the streets. Izore feels like now it is her turn to provide for both of them and step in his shoes but deep within, she wonders if walking on this path won't lead to learning more about her birth parents.
