Are you looking for a new campaign for the holidays?
Do you want to play as a level 20 character for a stand-alone limited adventure?
Then this might be the campaign for you.
I am looking for five players to play as level 20 characters who will receive an epic boon.
For this, please use standard array, no homebrew but UA and Tasha's is allowed.
Background:
Every adventurer down in Ostenwold liked Christmas a lot. But the Lich who lived just east of Ostenwold did not! Dresden the Lich hated Christmas! The whole Christmas season! Now, please don’t ask why. No one quite knows the reason. It could be, perhaps, that his phylactery was too old. It could be that his brown moulds weren’t that cold. But I think that the most likely reason of all May have been that his heart was two sizes too small. But, whatever the reason, his phylactery or mould, he stood there on Christmas Eve, hating folks from Ostenwold.
Staring down from his tower with a sour, skeletal frown at the warm lighted windows below in their town, For he knew every adventurer down in Ostenwold beneath was busy counting all their loot and XP.
"And they're hanging their shields," he snarled with a sneer. "Tomorrow is Christmas! It's practically here!"
Then he growled, with his bony fingers nervously drumming, "I must find some way to keep Christmas from coming! For tomorrow, I know, all the Ostenwold fighters and clerics will wake bright and early to their bards’ obnoxious lyrics. And then! Oh, the noise! Oh, the noise! Noise! Noise! Noise! There's one thing I hate! All the NOISE! NOISE! NOISE! NOISE!
They'll stand close together, with Christmas bells crashing. They'll stand side-by-side, and those adventurers will start slashing!"
"And they'll bash! And they'll pierce! And they'll STAB! STAB! STAB! STAB!!"
And the more the lich thought of the rogues’ sneak attacks, the more the lich thought, "I must stop this whole thing from coming back!”
“Why for five hundred years I've put up with it now! I must stop Christmas from coming! But how?"
Then he got an idea! An awful idea! The lich got a wonderful, awful idea!
"I know just what to do!" The lich cackled in his throat. "I'll make a quick Santy Claus hat and a coat."
That Christmas Eve, Dresden the Lich came down from his dark tower to steal away Christmas, during the latest hours.
"This is stop number one," the old Lichy Claus hissed, as he climbed to the roof, empty bags-of-holding in his fist. Then he slid down the chimney, a rather tight pinch. But if Santa could do it, then so could the lich. He got stuck only once, for a minute or two. Then he cast etherealness and right into the wall he went through. Where the little adventurers’ magic weapons hung all in a row.
"These magic items," he grinned, "are the first things to go!"
Then he slithered and slunk, with a smile most obscene, around the whole room, and he took everything! It was quarter of dawn. All the adventurers still a-bed, all the heroes still a-snooze, when he packed up his sledge. Packed it up with their plate mail, and shields, and bows their lutes and their axes, their trinkets and ten-foot-poles! Then a planar portal, Dresden opened up Into the Astral Plane, all the adventurers’ stuff he would chuck!
"Pooh-pooh to the heroes!" he was evilly humming. "They're finding out now that no Christmas is coming!”

This looks amazing and very fun. I will need time to make a character but I would like to make a post as a placeholder. But just a quick question would this be through D&D beyond or discord?

I still have a few things to figure out on my character, such as name and backstory, but here is my submission.
Tiefling College of Lore Bard
He's a scholar of history, lore and folktale and as such, began his journey as an entertainer travelling from taverns to inns weaving the stories he had learnt from his time in study. Picking up several interesting incantations and tricks along the way from various wizards and libraries, he's bolstered his repertoire with a few little extras to help him on his journeys.
For the boon I would take Boon of Magic Resistance
You get 21,000 gold pieces, three uncommon magic items, two rare items, one very rare item, plus normal starting equipment. However, your rare and very rate items are stolen to be possibly be found.

I'd love to play if you guys have any more spaces! I'm relatively new to d&d, so I'd understand if you're looking for experienced players. Let me know if there's anything on the character sheet that I would need to change.

This is a level twenty campaign. You will not survive as a level one character.
Just so everyone is aware, there will be no long rest. This takes place in one night and there will be some challenges along the way.

Due to what you posted about the plot blurb, would an Artificer's infusions be allowed/be active? Asking before I decide on a character.

Creating a character now...
Question: How do we create starting equipment. Are magical weapons out (the Lich stole them?) Are we able to get any magic items?
Lot's of stuff ...
Here is my character. Still need to know about equipment: https://ddb.ac/characters/21766024/7qvDJ6
For the boon I would take Boon of Magic Resistance

Here's the link to my character - ddb.ac/characters/41280930/PxiKd5
Short version of a backstory
Mr. Fists - Kenku Monk (Way of the Astral Self)
Mr. Fists loves Christmas, so his Astral Self is an image of Santa Claus, or the holiday equivalent of this setting.
For the Boon, I'd take Irresistible Offense
I have an intelligence of six, I know what I'm doing.
