##[How to run this adventure] <hr color="red"> This game is a hybrid of a choose-your-own adventure type computer game and a pen-and-paper roleplaying game. It is compatible with the <a href="https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/basic-rules/" target="_blank">fifth edition of the most popular roleplaying game in the world</a> (you know the one I'm talking about, though I can't say the name due to copyright restrictions). The mechanics of this adventure are licensed under the [[Open Game License]]. All images used in this game are in the public domain. ### Differences from a computer game <hr color="red"> To play this game, ''you need a 1st level character'' for 5e. You can create one using the free character creation feature at <a href="https://www.dndbeyond.com/" target="_blank">this website</a>, by using the 5e <a href="https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/basic-rules/" target="_blank">Basic Rulebook</a>, or you can use a pregenerated character such as <a href="https://olddungeonmaster.com/2020/06/03/dd-5e-quick-play-character-sheets-rev-8/" target="_blank">these ones</a>. You will need to have this character sheet either printed out or open in a separate browser tab. You will keep track of your character's hit points, spells, and inventory on your character sheet, roll dice physically or by using the provided sidebar dice, and keep track of enemies using your own scratch paper. The program will tell the story. Regular text will narrate the game. You will also see links to decisions in the game, which will appear in light blue. //Italics indicate out-of-game instructions// These are instructions on what to dice to roll and what to change on your character sheet. ''Bold text indicates important people, objects, or instructions'' ### Differences from a table-top RPG. <hr color="red"> In this game, you'll have to take on some of the role of the Game Master. If a monster or NPC has to make a saving throw against a spell you cast or ability you use, you will have to roll on their behalf. In ''combat'', all enemies will attack you each turn unless otherwise specified. If an enemy hits you with an attack, it will do average damage instead of rolling for damage. I find that damage rolls against 1st level characters are too swingy, especially when it comes to critical hits. If you drop to 0 hp or lower, you do not make ''death saving throws''. Instead, the game will narrate what happens to you. Normally, to start combat, players and enemies would roll ''initiative'' to determine turn order in combat. For simplicity's sake, this game does not use initiative. Instead, the combatant who is the aggressor will usually go first. You can cast ''spells'', use ''abilities'', or drink ''potions'' outside of combat at any time. So if you fall off a cliff, the game may narrate that you take damage, but if you have the //Feather Fall// spell prepared, you could cast it to negate the damage. If the spell calls for a saving throw or DC and none is listed, use +0 for the saving throw or 10 for the DC. So, if you're trying to use //Charm Person// on a shopkeeper, but their Wisdom modifier isn't listed, you can just make a d20 roll against your spellcasting DC. You may only take a ''short rest'' when prompted. <hr color="red"> [[Start]]

##(font: 'Walter Turncoat')[The Street] --- You have taken up the life of an adventurer, seeking to earn your fortune and attain your life goals by the strength of your arm, the cunning of your mind, the might of your magic, or a combination of all of these. (if: $tm)[(text-colour:green)[The first thing you need is a ''character sheet''. * You can quick-build a character on <a href="https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/builder#/" target="_blank">DnD Beyond</a>, choosing the fantasy race and class, and allowing the website to make the other choices for you.

Gold paid for experienced adventurers]'' <== --- //Make a ''Intelligence'' ability check// (if: $tm)[ (text-colour:green)[To determine if you can do something difficult in a role-playing game, you roll a 20-sided die called a ''d20''. In this game, you could roll with physical dice, with digital dice on another website, or by clicking on one of the d20 links on the sidebar. The above instruction calls for an ''ability check'', meaning you roll a d20, then add or subtract your character's ability bonus in that area. A character has 6 different abilities: STRENGTH (physical power), CONSTITUTION (stamina) DEXTERITY (agility), INTELLIGENCE (smarts), WISDOM (judgement), and CHARISMA (social influence). Your character has a value for each ability, with 10 being what an average, everyday person would have. You, however, are a hero, so most of your values will be higher than 10. For every 2 points above or below 10, you add or subtract one from your d20 roll. Your character sheet shows your bonuses for each ability, such as INT +1, meaning roll a 20-sided die and add 1.]] (link: "If you get higher or equal to 5, click here.")[You know that there has been some crime in this area of the city lately. This temple probably just needs someone to stand guard. You think it's unlikely you'll have to hurt anyone or risk your own neck.] Having found no other employment recently, you decide to enter [[The temple]].

###(font: 'Walter Turncoat')[The Temple] <hr color="red"> (set: $map to false) (set: $password to false) <img src="temple.jpeg" width="400" alt="A classical-styled temple with a statue in the center"> As you walk through the open doorway, you notice a sequence of moon phases decorating the marble arch above you. On either side, you see sculpted scenes of lovers embracing under a crescent moon and a nighttime traveler avoiding bandits with help from the light of a full moon. This must be a shrine to moon goddess. //To recall lore about the moon goddess, make a ''Intelligence (Religion)'' skill check with a DC of 10.// (if: $tm)[ (text-colour:green)[A ''DC or Difficulty Class'' is the target number for a check. You have to get equal or higher than the DC to succeed. ''Skill'' checks use a d20 roll plus your ability score (Intelligence in this case) plus a possible proficiency bonus. For example, if your character was well-read in the different gods, religious practices and beliefs of a land they would have a ''proficiency bonus'' to Religion. So, in addition to any bonuses due to intelligence, you could also add another +2 to your roll, representing your learned skills in religion beyond just natural ability. Your skills are listed on your character sheet in a long list starting with "Animal Handling." The skills that you are proficient at typically have a filled circle. If you're using D&D Beyond or a pre-made character sheet, the ability score and proficiency bonus have already been added together for each skill, so you just roll a d20 and add the number next to "Religion." ] ] (link: "If you get a 10 or higher, you remember the basics about the moon goddess")[The mood goddess is a good deity. She counters the darkness of the night with her brightness, offering protection to people in both literal and metaphorical darkness. The worship of the moon goddess is associated with protective and healing magic.] An elderly priest greets you. “Ah! So, you’re the one who has answered our posting! Let me tell you a bit about our predicament." The priest leans back against the plinth of a marble statue of a spear-wielding woman crushing a horrific-looking skull beneath her boot. Not far away, a few acolytes practice sparring with clubs. “We worship the goddess of the moon, but more specifically, our temple is dedicated to the veneration of ''Saint Ikro'', who you see in stone behind me. Many years ago, the blessed Ikro, a warrior-priestess of our goddess, saved our city by vanquishing the necromancer ''Valnok the Half-Fiend'' and his army of undead skeletons. Her body is buried in the city cemetery, but we host those who wish to ask her guidance here at this shrine.” A shout goes up from the sparring acolytes. The priest looks you over. "Come. We'll see what you're made of." He leads you over to the [[training ground]]. ---

"Go get 'em, Chuck!" the other cheer. The priest supervising the acolytes nods at you. "Here's the rules: physical attacks only. No magic or weird abilities. Don't worry about getting hurt or healing yourself. If either of you fall, I'm able to heal you back." (if: $tm)[ (text-colour:green)[As before, to determine'' if you hit the target'', roll a d20 and add your modifiers. If the total of the d20 plus the modifier plus any proficiency bonus is equal to or higher than the target's AC, you hit it, If the total is lower than the AC, the attack misses and does no damage. Once you hit a target, you must determine ''how much damage is done.'' Different weapons have different damage dice. What type of die and how many are always mentioned in the weapon's description: 1d8 means roll one eight-sided die, while 2d6 means roll two six-sided dice and add the numbers together. Depending on the weapon you can also add Strength or Dexterity modifiers and a modifier for proficiency. ''Add up the die roll plus any modifiers'' and subtract that number from a target's hit points (''HP''). If you roll a 20 on your d20 attack roll, you score a ''critical hit''. Roll twice for your damage die and add the total to your modifiers. Similarly, ''attacking spells and abilities will typically use a d20 plus a modifier to determine if you hit.'' The spell or ability will tell you which modifier to use in the description. The amount of damage and other effects will also be described in the spell's text. Some spells do not rely on aiming, but on the ''ability for the target to resist the spell's effect.'' In that case, the spell's text will direct the target to roll a d20 plus a saving modifier for a particular ability (''called a "saving throw"''). There are additional rules for combat, but the above explanation should cover most situations. For more information refer to <a href="https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/basic-rules/combat" target="_blank">Ch 9 of the Basic Rules</a>.] ] ###Roll for initiative {(set: $HP to 11) (set: $init to ($d:20))} (if: $tm)[(text-colour:green)[To start combat, each combatant rolls a d20, then adds their ''Initiative modifier'', which usually is the same as the dexterity ability modifier. ]] Chuck gets a $init for his initiative.

Despite its name, the AC does not only reflect how strong the armor of a target is, but also if it can dodge an attack. Your own character has an AC that is either based off what armor you are wearing or your Dexterity modifier. To attack a target, you must first ''determine if you hit it.'' To do this, roll a d20, then add modifiers. Some weapons allow you to add Strength as a modifier, while others use Dexterity instead. If your character is proficient with a weapon, you may also be able to add your proficiency bonus to your attempt to hit.
