LvL 20 One Shot: Beacon of Hope

LvL 20 One Shot: Beacon of Hope

I never got the chance to get closure from campaign 2 with most of my party dying and then half of my players wanting to end the campaign there. There were so many plans, dungeons, arcs, villains, and stories that were then just ended never to see the light of day again. However two friends of mine from that campaign and a friend who got me into dnd came together wanting to do a lvl 20 oneshot. This one shot was a lot of fun. I give a lot of my thanks to Brandon for continuously pushing to have it happen and showing interest. Thank you to everyone who participated. I hope to get to do this again sometime, it’s always a pleasure to DM for each of you. In this one shot we have a lvl 20 psionic rogue from campaign 2 (Tabaxi) | a lvl 20 armorer artificer from campaign 1 (Vedalken) | and a lvl 20 moon druid (grung). I hope you enjoy listening in.

They are pushed to the brink and each of them almost die as they navigate the battlefield and the war raging within as ice ravages and fire burns. Where will the party to head to next in the aftermath? Apparently Umgor; "This City sits on stone bridges connecting one cliff’s edge to another. These bridges are little more than errant strips of stone that, when viewed from above, look like a spider web. The brave souls that live here live on platforms suspended over the caverns and connected by rope bridges. Most of them make a living by ferrying items across the canyon, but others collect water and fish from the bottom of the canyon by suspending buckets from rope. Others still try to mine from the sides of the mountain, but there is a debate going on as to whether or not this could endanger the town. At the very bottom lies a crater from a fallen meteorite and is mined for precious metals in both weapons and arcane focuses."
