Echoes of Grimdark - Lightward Beginnings.

D
Dymytri

"Echoes of Grimdark" begins in Lightward Bastion, a city built in defiance of the long-banished Demon Lord Grimdark. Heroes from all walks of life gather at the Lightward Guild, seeking glory, treasure, or revenge. Their journey starts in the upper floors of the Grimdark Vault—a vast, ever-shifting dungeon of monsters, traps, and ancient echoes of evil. This is the tale of their beginnings, their bonds, and the light they carry into the dark.


Author's Note: This is an adventure that begins at level 1, and is meant to introduce the players to the world. It is a work in progress that over time I hope to flesh out into a whole world of dungeon delving.

Description

You gain a +1 bonus to Attack and Damage Rolls made with this Magic Weapon. In addition, while you are attuned to this weapon, your Hit Points maximum increases by 1 for each level you have attained. ***Curse.*** This axe is Cursed, and becoming attuned to it extends the curse to you. As long as you remain Cursed, you are unwilling to part with the axe, keeping it within reach at all times. You also have disadvantage on Attack rolls with Weapons other than this one, unless no foe is within 60 feet of you that you can see or hear. Whenever a Hostile creature damages you while the axe is in your possession, you must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or go berserk. While berserk, you must use your action each round to Attack the creature nearest to you with the axe. If you can make extra attacks as part of the Attack action, you use those extra attacks, moving to Attack the next nearest creature after you fell your current target. If you have multiple possible Targets, you Attack one at random. You are berserk until you start Your Turn with no creatures within 60 feet of you that you can see or hear.
