The Tavern: Shadows R Us & Raising Dawn (20 Nov)

The Tavern: Shadows R Us & Raising Dawn

Episode 6

Dungeons and Dragons and Beers in a Tavern. ONE TAVERN. TEN TABLES. SIXTY ADVENTURERS.

The Tavern is a living world campaign series run at Molly Malone’s, a shared D&D universe that grows with every session and changes based on what the players inside it do.

Last time on The Tavern...

Captain Ser Rowan Vale gave the order: break the convoy, take what you can. And The Tavern did. Artillery seized. War drakes turned. The Dragon Army’s own beacon and command seal carried home. Heroes fell in fire so others could escape, and one survivor came home clutching the scrolls that might bring Sister Elira back. Somewhere in the chaos, an ancient gold dragon broke free of its chains.

But in the ashes, Master Garrick Thorn found something worse than siege engines: a dossier on The Tavern itself. Every wall, every name, every hero in the room. At its head, two words: Blackthorn Watch.

Shadows R Us

Blackthorn Watch is the Dragon Army’s intelligence post, the eyes and ears behind every attack on The Tavern. It is walled, guarded, warded and wired with alarms. Storm the gate and the whole Watch knows you’re coming.

So Garrick, The Tavern’s new Intelligence Officer, has a different plan: see them before they see you, then take it apart from the inside.

Expect a different kind of war:

• Recon first: scout the post, map patrols, learn the guard rotations and find the weak points.

• Beat the alarms: bells, wards, signal fires and watchful sentries. One mistake and reinforcements pour in.

• Slip inside: stealth, disguise, distraction and quick thinking open doors that swords can’t.

• Dismantle the Watch: destroy their records, silence their messengers and blind the Dragon Army for good.
  

Raising Dawn

While some work in the shadows, others chase a miracle. The scrolls carried home at such a cost hold a chance to bring Sister Elira Dawnmantle back from beyond. It is not a promise, only a chance, and two tables will risk everything to take it.

The Tavern needs scouts, saboteurs and believers.

Will you blind the Watch, or help raise the Dawn?
