Welcome to Town

A D&D 5E Homebrew Adventure

Welcome to Town
I
n Welcome to Town, characters should ideally be Lvl.
5 or higher. The adventure allows for customization
should players wish to play at lower levels as well.
This campaign takes place in modern time, but in a
location unique to this particular campaign. While
the location is unique, this campaign can also be
included in any other working campaign. No custom
races or classes are necessary for this setup.
Background
Kingship has always been a quiet town, one where nothing
exciting ever happens. Time seems to pass without notice in
such a place, until one day, time itself seems to simply stop.
Suddenly nothing changes. The Sun fails to set and the Moon
never rises. Hours pass by, and by, but only the people seem
to continue moving forward. The arrival of a stranger to the
little town, right around this strange occurrence, has only
raised suspicions. People are soon quick to question what
this stranger wants and why they have come to this quiet little
town in particular. A group of the town's most curious and
adventure hungry citizens intends to find out! Their unlikely
curiosity will lead them into the unknown. Unfortunately for
them, the unknown holds unheard of dangers! The path back
home will be a long and winding one with perils at every turn.
Unprepared for the perils of this uncharted world these
curious adventurers will have to work together, pool their
resources and prior experience just to survive. Should the
little town of Kingship be saved, will the adventurers be
deemed heroes, or, is not all as it seems in this quiet little
town after all? Could this all be part of a much bigger secret,
one kept hidden for centuries? The answer awaits discovery,
if the small group of adventure hungry citizens can survive
long enough to find out!
Adventure Hooks
A Heard Rumor: The characters are having a drink in the
town tavern when they hear of the mysterious newcomer in
town. They decide to seek out this person for themselves.
Heroes For Hire: A group of townsfolk decides to seek out
people who will search for a solution to the town's problem.
They're willing to pay 250 gp each to do so.
Bored and Curious: Craving adventure the characters
decide to find out if there is a way to restore time's
movement. They set out on a routine road out of town only to
discover the path no longer exists! Now there are only three
new roads out of town.
1st Encounter: Enchanter
of the Strange Kind
A darkness seems to hang in the air as the characters trudge
forward. Suddenly, they hear the thud of wood and an ominous
hum. Off in the distance an enchanter emerges.
Encounter: Enchanter. The enchanter attacks the
characters unprovoked when within 30 ft. There is a
tendency toward self preservation on the enchanter's part.
Characters may convince the enchanter to let them pass
unharmed, but only when enchanter is low in health.
The Surrounding Towns
Kingship sits in a dense forest landscape. The strange
occurrence has revealed uncharted roads or pathways. These
pathways when taken will lead characters to a new place or
realm. Ultimately, unknown to the characters, all roads lead
to a mysterious place called Ketownship.
Realms: Every realm contains a more challenging monster
that must be defeated in order to obtain an artifact or key.
These keys will unlock certain treasures located in the last
realm: Ketownship.
Pathways: Realms can only be reached by certain pathways,
which resemble roads. These roads cannot be taken twice
and characters must always move forward, not backward
along them.
Unusual Sights: Each realm contains an assigned quality of
either air, fire, water, or earth. These qualities denote the
damage resistances of creatures encountered in that specific
realm, if any. Characters may also note the strange blurring of
reality.
Teamwork: The pathways appear to have a strange
limitation. All characters must agree on the new path to take
or characters will find themselves stranded. There is no
splitting away from the group.
Realm #01: Kingship
Nestled between the trees sits a cozy town with the promise
of a warm fire, good food, entertaining music, and pleasant
discussion.

strangers to dwell. Stronghold channels strong fire qualities.
Any challenge will tend to be constructs.

township where the town's hall is its biggest attraction to all
who ask for one.

Thriving under a kind ruler, Mercy's Town might just have

everything to trade. Mercy's Town has airy qualities. Any
challenge will tend to be humanoid or of the undead kind.

Suggested: Archer, Ghoul, Golgari Shamans

a little town where everyone gets along in peace and harmony.

Taking from the water source, Undertown has a high number

something lurking just out of sight in the shadows and its
waiting.

Wistown has a strong earth quality. Any challenges will tend
to be beasts, magic users, or a group of undead.

Suggested: Indentured Spirit, Vampire Spawn, Wight

Realm #10: Ketownship

As if an inversion of Kingstown, Ketownship appears to shift
around there's always something new happening to discover.

Bustling and thriving, Ketownship quickly unlocks its

treasure to those who seek it. Ketownship has all four
qualities. Any challenge will come from guarded items.

Suggested: Alseid, Earth Elemental, Lampad

Pathways
T
he pathways represent a bridge or road
between realms. There are specific pathways
that characters must travel to reach specific
destinations. Customization allows characters
to encounter challenges along their traveled
pathways or to continue along without a
combat specific encounter. How characters
choose to journey to their next destination will ultimately
impact the treasure that awaits them.
Out of Kingship
There are three towns characters can reach from their
hometown of Kingship: Founding Town, Splendor, and
Victory Town. Ideally, the characters will choose either
Victory Town or Splendor, allowing for more travel options
later. If they don't, however, there is an added benefit to
securing one of the water quality keys early.
Out of Founding Town
Once the characters have reached Founding Town they will
soon discover they can still travel to Splendor or Victory
Town should they choose to. In addition though, the
characters may also travel to Beauty. For those wanting to
maximize playing experience, Beauty allows for the most
pathways to other realms.
Out of Splendor
When the characters reach Splendor, they discover perhaps
the first limiting of future journeys. Moving forward the only
options are Beauty and Stronghold. In future play, Beauty
offers more pathway access to additional realms. However,
Stronghold offers a bleaker atmosphere for characters to
explore and enjoy.
Out of Victory Town
In Victory Town the allure of some temptation is always
there. Characters should feel hesitant to leave but when they
do, their options are likewise limited. Beauty is perhaps the
most obvious option, but there is an alternative offer of
Mercy's Town.
Out of Beauty
As a somewhat central hub, Beauty offers characters the
opportunity to explore alternative realm choices they may
have otherwise overlooked. Pathways lead to Stronghold,
Mercy's Town, along with new options unique to Beauty,
specifically, Undertown and Wistown.
Out of Stronghold
Getting out of Stronghold is just as difficult as getting there.
While there are only two pathways out of this realm, neither
of them will strike characters as overly appealing. Mercy's
Town may offer a distracting choice to those not quite ready
to journey all the way to Undertown just yet. Mercy's Town
may also characters a missing quality key as well for their
later discovery in Ketownship.
Out of Mercy's Town
The paths out of Mercy's Town depend on how characters
traveled through the other realms. If characters have not yet
traveled to Stronghold the realm remains an option. When
characters have already traveled to Stronghold, however,
there is only one pathway available to them. Characters will
have no choice but to travel to Wistown.
Out of Undertown
As one of the few realms before Ketownship, the optional
pathways are limited for those visiting Undertown.
Characters might be able to travel to Wistown, but moving
onward toward Ketownship will probably be the majority of
experiences.

Out of Wistown
Similar to the complications of Undertown the pathways out
of town are limited. Character will more than likely head
straight to Ketownship, but they have the options of heading
first to Undertown if they have not already visited the place
earlier in their travels.

Out of Ketownship
Once characters have faced their main challenge, they will
have the option of collecting their treasure. The amount of
treasure and the awarded items will depend largely upon the
keys earned by the characters determined by the towns or
realms they passed through prior to arriving in Ketownship.
Some characters made need to keep the transport and
weight of their treasure in mind.

Leaving Ketownship will depend largely on the custom

campaign experience. Characters are free to relieve the
strange curse over Kingship and return home to their usual
boring town. If characters took on the initial adventure for
payment, they should be paid upon returning to town. If
wanted, perhaps this starts another adventure entirely as
thing don't go quite to plan.

Using Ketownship for another campaign or transitioning into

another module is entirely possible. How this is done will be
ultimately up to the individual group. Perhaps the treasure
found contains items specific to a new adventure, or, perhaps
the road home doesn't lead where the characters might
expect. Welcome to Town is diverse enough to stand on its
own or be worked into existing 5e content as needed.

Calculating Treasure

A
s the characters unlock their treasure, each key
will provide an insight into the items found. This
can be determined solely by the Dungeon
Master, or customized with the
recommendations given here.

Fire Items & Treasures

When it comes to fire oriented treasure, copper pieces are
probably the most versatile. If using copper pieces, a reward
of 700 cp is recommended. Alongside this, Potion of Fire
Breath, Wand of Fireballs, Tome of the Stilled Tongue, Staff
of Fire, or a Spell Scroll allow for themed items to be
discovered.

Air Items & Treasures

For air quality currency, silver pieces are the most
appropriate. If this option is taken, consider rewarding a total
of 7,000 sp. When items have been chosen as a reward as
well, consider Potion of Gaseous Form, Wand of Secrets,
Tome of Leadership and Influence, Staff of Withering, or a
related Spell Scroll.

Water Items & Treasures

The water themed currency would best be represented by
gold pieces. When utilizing this optional treasure, an amount
of 2,100 gp is recommended. As for magical items, some
water themed items might be Potion of Water Breathing,
Wand of Magic Missiles, Tome of Understanding, Staff of
Frost, or a corresponding Spell Scroll. Any treasure is
customizable.

Earth Items & Treasures

In the case of earth associated currency, platinum pieces
remain. When opting for players to receive platinum pieces
as their treasure, an amount of 105 pp is recommended.
Characters might also discover Potion of Vitality, Wand of
Fear, Tome of Clear Thought, Staff of Charming, or a Spell
Scroll that a character might take with them.

Rings of Command
If a campaign consists of four characters or less, consider the
additional magical item Ring of Elemental Command. A ring
for each elemental quality might be made.

Wand of Fear
Wand, rare (requires attunement)
This wand has 7 charges. While holding it, you can use an
action to expend 1 or more of its charges to cast the magic
missile spell from it. For 1 charge, you cast the 1st-level
version of the spell. You can increase the spell slot level by
one for each additional charge you expend.
The wand regains 1d6 + 1 expended charges daily at dawn. If
you expend the wand's last charge, roll a d20. On a 1, the
wand crumbles into ashes and is destroyed.
This wand has 7 charges for the following properties. It

Command. While holding the wand, you can use an action to
expend 1 charge and command another creature to flee or
grovel, as with the command spell (save DC 15).
Cone of Fear. While holding the wand, you can use an action
to expend 2 charges, causing the wand's tip to emit a 60-
foot cone of amber light. Each creature in the cone must
succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or become
frightened of you for 1 minute. While it is frightened in this
way, a creature must spend its turns trying to move as far
away from you as it can, and it can't willingly move to a
space within 30 feet of you. It also can't take reactions. For
its action, it can use only the Dash action or try to escape
from an effect that prevents it from moving. If it has
nowhere it can move, the creature can use the Dodge
action. At the end of each of its turns, a creature can repeat
the saving throw, ending the effect on itself on a success.
Potion of Vitality
Potion, very rare
When you drink this potion, it removes any exhaustion you
are suffering and cures any disease or poison affecting you.
For the next 24 hours, you regain the maximum number of
hit points for any Hit Die you spend.
The potion's crimson liquid regularly pulses with dull light,
calling to mind a heartbeat.
Staff of Charming
Staff, rare (requires attunement by a bard, cleric, druid,
sorcerer, warlock, or wizard)
While holding this staff, you can use an action to expend 1 of
its 10 charges to cast charm person, command, or
comprehend languages from it using your spell save DC.
The staff can also be used as a magic quarterstaff.
If you are holding the staff and fail a saving throw against an
enchantment spell that targets only you, you can turn your
failed save into a successful one. You can't use this property
of the staff again until the next dawn. If you succeed on a
save against an enchantment spell that targets only you,
with or without the staff's intervention, you can use your
reaction to expend 1 charge from the staff and turn the
spell back on its caster as if you had cast the spell.
The staff regains 1d8 + 2 expended charges daily at dawn. If
you expend the last charge, roll a d20. On a 1, the staff
becomes a nonmagical quarterstaff.
Wand of Fireballs
Wand, rare (requires attunement by a spellcaster)
This wand has 7 Charges. While holding it, you can use an
action to expend 1 or more of its Charges to cast the spell

level by one for each additional charge you expend.

If you expend the wand's last charge, roll a d20. On a 1, the
wand crumbles into ashes and is destroyed
Potion of Fire Breath
Potion, uncommon

exhale fire at a target within 30 feet of you. The target must

damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a
successful one. The effect ends after you exhale the fire
three times or when 1 hour has passed.
This potion's orange liquid flickers, and smoke fills the top of
the container and wafts out whenever it is opened.

Staff of Fire
very rare (requires attunement by a druid, sorcerer, warlock,
or wizard)
You have resistance to fire damage while you hold this staff.
The staff has 10 charges. While holding it, you can use an
action to expend 1 or more of its charges to cast one of the
following spells from it, using your spell save DC: burning
hands (1 charge), fireball (3 charges), or wall of fire (4
charges).
The staff regains 1d6 + 4 expended charges daily at dawn. If
you expend the last charge, roll a d20. On a 1, the staff
blackens, crumbles into cinders, and is destroyed.
Wand of Secrets
Wand, uncommon
The wand has 3 charges. While holding it, you can use an
action to expend 1 of its charges, and if a secret door or
trap is within 30 feet of you, the wand pulses and points at
the one nearest to you.
The wand regains 1d3 expended charges daily at dawn.
Staff of Withering
Staff, rare (requires attunement by a cleric, druid, or warlock)
This staff has 3 charges and regains 1d3 expended charges

warlock, or wizard)

you expend the last charge, roll a d20. On a 1, the staff
turns to water and is destroyed.
Wand of Magic Missiles
Wand, uncommon
This wand has 7 charges. While holding it, you can use an
action to expend 1 or more of its charges to cast the magic
missile spell from it. For 1 charge, you cast the 1st-level
version of the spell. You can increase the spell slot level by
one for each additional charge you expend.
The wand regains 1d6 + 1 expended charges daily at dawn. If
you expend the wand's last charge, roll a d20. On a 1, the
wand crumbles into ashes and is destroyed.
Tome of the Stilled Tongue
Wondrous item, legendary (requires attunement by a wizard)
This thick leather-bound volume has a desiccated tongue
pinned to the front cover. Five of these tomes exist, and it's
unknown which one is the original. The grisly cover
decoration on the first tome of the stilled tongue once
belonged to a treacherous former servant of the lich-god
Vecna, keeper of secrets. The tongues pinned to the covers
of the four copies came from other spellcasters who
crossed Vecna. The first few pages of each tome are filled
with indecipherable scrawls. The remaining pages are
blank and pristine.
If you can attune to this item, you can use it as a spellbook
and an arcane focus. In addition, while holding the tome,
you can use a bonus action to cast a spell you have written
in this tome, without expending a spell slot or using any
verbal or somatic components. Once used, this property of
the tome can't be used again until the next dawn.
While attuned to the book, you can remove the tongue from
the book's cover. If you do so, all spells written in the book
are permanently erased.
Vecna watches anyone using this tome. He can also write
cryptic messages in the book. These messages appear at
midnight and fade away after they are read.
