Platform: Discord (Voice) + HeartofDaggers (character sheets) + Foundry VTT (maps and battle maps) Players: 4–5 | Level 2 characters, created together before we start The Setup The Drylands are frontier country. Prospectors and mages dig Essentia out of these hard hills, and everyone is trying to carve off a piece of it before somebody else does. You have been out on the flats for months. Whatever the job was, it is done and the pay is in your pocket. Now you are riding back into Miquera, the little town in the Caradondo mountain pass. One main street, a saloon, a general store, an old stone church. You can see the smoke long before you reach it. The ground is shaking. Stones are coming down off the peaks. The church spire is leaning, the saloon is burning, and people you have known your whole life are running in the street with buckets that are not going to be enough. Old Jess out by the claim always said the veins were the bones of something sleeping. She said the old gods left their titans in the ground, and that men who dig deep enough will one day dig too deep. Nobody ever paid her much mind. They will now. Expectations & Requirements Player Knowledge: You should have a general understanding of how the basic Daggerheart rules work. We'll build characters together on HeartofDaggers before we start, so no prep needed on your end. Tech Requirements: A working headset and a decent microphone are required for clean audio on Discord. Tone: A frontier western where the ground itself turns against the town. Gameplay: Rescue, investigation, tough choices, and a finale that will test the whole party.

In the frontier town of Greystone, where merchants shout their wares and adventurers pass through on their way to unknown destinations, a note on the town board catches your eye: beekeeper Milla's most loyal companion, Sir Barkalot, has vanished, and a reward of two handfuls of gold awaits whoever brings him safely home. Some speak of strange little figures in the fields, while others whisper of dark forces pulling the strings. One thing is certain: this will be an adventure that tests your courage, wits, and teamwork, with hopefully as much laughter as danger along the way!
