What is this? As the finale to our current season of open dnd 5e games (VALUE) we decided to make an Epic. What is an Epic you ask? It is multiple adventures that happen concurrently and can affect each other after a certain time.
For an example think of a siege. One adventure might be fighting the battle, and another is hunting traitors, but all of them are at the same time.
When is this? This will be an adventure in two parts. You do not have to be present in both. The dates are the 7.8.2026 and 14.8.2026 at 19:00 in Wowkeepers at Holochergasse 53.
What is this adventure about? An evil army of vampire conquistadores are overunning Ixalan, a pan-Mesoamerican inspired fantasy continent. You are one of the heroes that fight against them. The goals of the different missions can be different but each one is dangerous.
What is Ixalan? A pan-Mesoamerican-inspired continent full of uncharted jungles where dangerous beasts, magnificent ruins, and lost treasures. Covered in vast jungles and rivers, Ixalan is home to large dinosaurs, that some of the natives managed to domesticate, and numerous secrets are hidden within its forests. A coalition of pirates, who had to flee from the vampires in the past, also recently seddled in Ixalan, now having to defend their new home against a horror from their past.

‘Port Hope’ is one of the last remaing bastions of defense against the onslaught of the vampire conquistadores … but sometimes the biggest threat is not the one that lurks outside. The defenses are crumbling, and our most closely guarded secrets are bleeding into the night. Someone - or something is a spy for the undead, reporting our every move to the blood-drenched conquistadores.
Your orders are clear: unmask the mole. But remember, a vampire can look remarkably human in the candlelight, and their fangs are always hidden until the very last second.
Throughout history, generals always known that no matter how perfect one’s defense, it is impossible to win a war through defense alone. The Brazen Coalition has withstood many blows from the vampire hordes, becoming a living shield for Ixalan, but now it is time for a counterattack. Infiltrate an overrun fortress of the Sun Empire, that now serves as the command centre of the vampire conquistatores. There Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose, is creating a new army of demonic vampires, and you must stop him before it is too late.
Style: The adventure is in two parts. One will be an investigation adventure. The second one is an infiltration of a vampire fortress (dungeon) with puzzles and a hard combat in the end.
T1; Levels 3-4
Darthbinks (T1): Through the Ashes
BufoBufo (T1): A Stay of Execution
Regular people in the burning jungles of Ixalan were doing their best to survive. See the war through the eyes of the common people and prove that you don’t need to be a high level champion to be a hero. Lead a small group of refugees out of captivity to safe ‘Port Hope’.
Who will you save? Who will you sacrifice? And what grim secrets will you uncover?
The brave souls gathered in a port survived the first attack and the ensuing chaos, but they are not out of the woods yet. Everyone understands that the death sentence issued by the vampire conquistadores has not been quashed, simply postponed. No one knows when the execution will come, but each person hope to live long enough to see the threat pass, and to receive the clemency of fate …
Style: The adventure is in two parts. One will be an escape through a dangerous jungle with hard choices and consequences. The second one is defending the refuge against an onslaught of vampires.
