Using the Candlekeep library is expensive. In order to pay for your stay, you took a side job to dust off the older parts of the library. There are only dusty worthless books, until one of you finds a leather-bound book with brass corner fittings and an intricately carved brass clasp that holds the book shut. Embossing on the cover depicts a lemon tree with the rising sun behind it. Something within the book seems to move...

Play along with this adventure from the D&D candlekeep book. Take a 6th level character sheet with you or choose one of my pre-generated character sheets.

As always, my adventures are also suitable for beginners.

The traveling extravaganza known as the Witchlight Carnival visits your world once every eight years. You have a dim memory of sneaking into the carnival as a child without paying for a ticket. That memory has grown foggy over time, though it still conjures a weird admixture of emotions—wonder and awe mixed with loss and regret. During this childhood visit, your character lost something. You tried to find it, but the carnival owners—a pair of elves named Mister Witch and Mister Light—were decidedly unhelpful.

“Silly little screeching cricket,” said Witch. “You forgot to buy a ticket.”

“The carnival goes round and round,” said Light. “The multiverse is our playground. Nothing’s free and nothing’s lost. Every visit has its cost.”

As time passed, your heart became less heavy, and you gave less and less thought to those childhood events. Now, for reasons you can’t explain, the longing to retrieve that which you have lost has resurfaced, as though an old spell has faded away, allowing you to feel the loss as sharply as if it happened yesterday.

The Witchlight Carnival has returned, and you find yourself standing near a ticket booth by the entrance at twilight, just as the carnival is about to open. There you meet others who look as troubled as you. Without knowing how or why, you sense that each of them has lost something as well. Perhaps fate has brought you together.

Hi all,
I will continu the adventures set in Waterdeep based on the Dragonheist books.
This adventure is semi campaign style, choses made by characters have impact on the next one-shot, magic items required will be shared by the group and if you keep track of your own exp. you can come back and level up.

Upcoming quest:
Many factions are after the a key to unlock the biggest treasure around, which was last in your guilds possesion. However you got double crossed and of the guild members has stolen had and brought to an hostile party, the infamous Xanathars Guild. The traitor did however give you a fighting chance, he has hidden the key and left you a clue to where to find it.
This time the One-Shot will probably be heavier on the Battle side then most of the sessions.

I will have characters sheets available, but I recommend and prefer to create your own:

- All official content is allowed;
- Homebrew allowed with approval (contact the DM);
- Unearthed Arcana allowed;
- For ability score use Standard Array or Point Buy;
- Custom Lineage / Races etc from Tasha's are allowed;
- You are working for a adventurers guild with a good name and they like to keep it that way!

The game is welcome to anyone from beginner to veteran!
