Tyranny Of Dragons – Hoard of the Dragon Queen

The town of Greenrest was founded by the halfling Dharva Scatterheart, a rogue who fancied herself the queen of the Greenfields. Scatterheart passed away without ever achieving that level of eminence, but her town grew into a thriving community. Its success isn't surprising, since Greenrest is the only town of any size astride the Uldoon Trail, the most direct road between the eastern cities of the Dragon Coast, Cormyr, and Sembia with the Coast Way running south to the great cities of Amn, Tethyr, and far Calimshan. The trade caravans that pass through Greenrest bring gold to the town's merchants, and Governor Nighthill runs the town at the behest of the inhabitants. This is your destination.

You, the players, have been hired as guards by a brother and sister - Sebastian and Cassandra, who look to be young humans, joined your journey with theirs in Baldur's Gate. One way or another, you have found yourself in their employ. Perhaps Cassandra saw you practising your spellcraft in the streets. Perhaps Sebastian caught you trying to steal from their room. Perhaps they approached you after you alone stood as the victor of a bar fight. How matters little. But who is a question you've yet to find an answer to. And they've promised to pay extra for your silence. After all, thirty gold each is no small sum.

You headed south from Baldur's Gate, headed for Greenrest by way of Candlekeep - which Sebastian visited briefly, though you did not stay for long. Ever since, you have been travelling along the road, with the only threat being merchants and peddlers hoping to sell you something as you crossed paths. Only one more day remains until you reach the town of Greenrest... and a warm meal, a soft bed, and a town to explore.


The Tyranny of Dragons is a published Wizards of the Coast adventure that comes in two parts - Hoard of the Dragon Queen is the first part and is the beginning of your journey. There's actually already a game running here on the guild. The adventure as a whole will take you from 1st level to 15th. I welcome players both old and new, and I'm okay with most any content officially released by WOTC, so if you want to apply, run it by me, first.

I also operate on a strict Game-Info-is-Need-To-Know; the information I have detailing the basis of the game will be mine and mine alone until the story dictates it is yours to know. I will give you, as players, some knowledge regarding the world around you and what will happen in the game, as well as answering any questions about things you've gone through in the past. Backstories and character elements need to be approved by me, and you'll need to provide a copy of a character sheet in the thread or through a Private Message (PDFs, Myth-Weavers, and DiceCloud are all good options). There are story traits that you can take in addition to your character; if you would like to tie your character more closely to the story, and not just be a character that appeared incidentally, let me know.

Edit: shortened the alignment to two letters because after I noticed it was off-form it started to bother me

Off in the distance is heard the sound of jiggling chains and thumping boots.

"Wait....wait for me!" A heavily armored dwarf runs up with all the grace of a ton of brinks. "Don't leave yet."

As requested as part of the reserve characters, my contribution once again. If or until needed, I will merely keep an eye on this topic and it among my subscribed. If anything specifically involves me, please do mention me to add the emphasis; I know there are some on the forum who do not always do so first and so it was safe to note now than later.

@CollectorOfMyst Hiya! Is it too late to submit an application? Been lurking for a while and doing some research (got no experience in D&D, but extremely interested), and I think I’ve learned enough to complete the sheet, at the very least.

@Eleven Well, I'm currently going through the sheets and have started accepting players, but if you can get it done in the next couple of days, I don't see why not!

PM me your character idea, and I'll let you know.

O hey, this looks pretty cool. I've experience with 5th Edition and I've already got a character ready, though it's only a matter of transferring the sheet into the template you have set up if you're still accepting. It's a standard Fighter, but I can work him as a Paladin if needed!

EDIT: Though I must ask... are you allowing us to roll for wealth (as described in Chapter 5 of the PHB) in lieu of the set starting equipment a class and background grants, or are you enforcing the use of such for simplifications sake?

@Rondo of Blood Fighter or Paladin works just fine. Sebastian and Cassandra are... not designed to stick around. I've built them specifically to assist in this first Episode, given its notoriety for difficulty.

When it comes to equipment and gold, you can negotiate for something (for example, changing the fighter's light crossbow for a shortbow, or scale mail instead of chainmail), but other than that, only standard equipment.

@Eleven@Rondo of Blood So, if you two are still interested, I'm going to have to ask you two to get at least a mostly completed WIP up by Thursday, because that's when I plan on starting the game. Depending, I might slot you into the first episode somewhere instead of having you start with the others, but I'd still like you to do the writing sample.

@LordOfTheNight Similar stuff goes for you. Please make the requested changes to your character sheet before Thursday.

I can definitely get everything done except for the writing sample in that timeframe! I've been stumped on what to write for it honestly, but I'll try to have something up with the rest of the sheet by then.

@Rondo of Blood This is a good starting point. Look at what the others have got. Look at the one in the example character sheet. Heck, you can even ask me for advice. What I'm asking for is literally 'a day in the life of' sort of scenario. Think about what your character might have been doing on the day he, she or they met the twins. Were they looking for work? Or did the thought not occur to them until the moment it was offered? Was this meeting calm or violent? So on and so forth.

Oh no, I've got an idea of how to do it. I just need to take a bit of time to get into my character's head specifically if that makes any sense.
