By Dawns Early Light (5E)
It is midsummer, and the remote mountain village of Ilgaardd is preparing to throw an epic celebration to honor the anniversary of its independence from the tyrannical rule of Killoran the Red.聽While most of the villagers are happy with the new leadership and are excited about the prospect of hosting a major event, droves of raucous outsiders, bitter loyalists, and an unprecedented heat wave are causing tensions to mount.聽聽You have been hired by the local sheriff to keep the peace. To do your job, you will have to聽contend with rowdy villagers at each other's throats聽and a聽towering force on the cusp of raising its haunted form high above the Village Green!Inspired by (dangerous!) early American traditions of lighting bonfires to celebrate Independence Day, the characters聽are the only hope that Illgaardd will remain standing by聽dawn's early light.
The characters are hired by Jax Blueskin, chief constable of the remote village of Ilgaardd, to keep the peace during the village's Independence Day celebration. The聽characters must contend with increasingly rowdy villagers only to discover a nefarious plot devised by Killoran the Red,聽the village's presumed-to-be-dead former ruler. If聽not stopped, this plot will unleash聽a force so terrible that the village -- and possibly the region -- may聽be utterly destroyed.聽By Dawn's Early Light聽is a short adventure for 4-6 low-level聽characters.
