For decades odd creatures have seeped out of the Dreadmarsh, remnants of an incursion from the Far Realms (Lovecraftian horrors; not Mindflayers/Beholders). Thoughts of the Dreadmarsh are far from your mind as you arrive in the predominantly halfling village of Averon in the shadow of the Avonwick mountains. Orcs have been raiding for weeks in the valley to the north and you are on your way to lend your swords and spells to the valiant defenders. The rain that you have traveled through all day turns noticeably worse as you arrive in the village and you are soon informed that the local sheriff has closed the roads out of the village due to flooding. It looks like you'll be stuck here until the storm passes...
The game is first person role playing, good aligned, with limited/no out of character, and is a touch on the grittier side. I have 40 years of xp as a GM but this would be a great game for beginners.
Characters are level 1 with any and all official WotC publications allowed (anything not in the SRD will need to be entered/programmed manually). Standard array and standard equipment.
The following races exist in the world: Standard Humans, Dwarves (Hill and Mountain), Elves (Aquatic and Wood {both very rare}), half-elves (elven ancestry can manifest itself out to the fourth generation) and Halflings. {I would also entertain 'races' that are reskinned to be individuals 'touched/corrupted' by contact with the incursion.}

Group type: Online; Roll20 with Discord for Video chat
Experience: Veteran GM - beginner players welcomed
Location/Timezone: Eastern USA

p.s. I also run a couple of weekly games and if there is a good fit there might be room for an additional player in one or two of those games.
