Detailed Description
In the small and isolated village of Mirrorwood, nestled deep within the dense and ancient forest near the tranquil MirrorLake, a sinister mystery is unfolding. The village, home to about 300 residents, has recently been plagued by a series of unexplained disappearances. What began as the occasional missing pet or stray cattle has escalated into the alarming vanishing of villagers themselves, leaving the community in a state of fear and confusion.
**Mirrorwood** is a quaint and secluded village, surrounded by towering trees and thick underbrush that seem to whisper secrets of old. The village's economy is primarily based on fishing, with the serene MirrorLake providing a bountiful supply of fish. The villagers trade their catch with merchants who travel to the larger cities, ensuring a modest but steady income.
Despite its peaceful appearance, Mirrorwood is shrouded in mystery. The village is renowned for its ancient ruins, remnants of a long-forgotten civilization that once thrived in the area. These ruins, scattered throughout the forest, are a source of both fascination and unease for the villagers. Legends speak of powerful artifacts and hidden knowledge buried within, guarded by ancient spirits and treacherous traps.
At first, the reports of missing pets and livestock were dismissed as the work of wild animals or simple misfortune. However, as more villagers began to vanish without a trace, the community could no longer ignore the growing threat. The disappearances are marked by eerie silence and a complete lack of evidence, leaving no clues for the villagers to follow.
As fear grips the hearts of Mirrorwood's residents, a call for heroes echoes through the village. Brave adventurers are needed to uncover the truth behind the vanishings and to protect the village from whatever dark force is at play. The journey will lead them through the dense forest, into the depths of the ancient ruins, and perhaps even to the heart of MirrorLake itself.

Character Creation Questions

I'm 2014. I was reading some stuff on 2024, and one thing that really stuck out to me was that if a spell caster happens to multiclass as a fighter, they can't action surge to cast spells. I'd messed around with a Ghost Lance (Echo Knight - Hexblade) for a bit, but found I preferred a Hexadin. But since we're not multiclassing, I don't see that as an issue. I've not really looked a lot into 5.5... I've only been playing a little under a year, and I'd prefer to keep to 5e, as opposed to 5.5, just so I don't get too confused, especially with the other PBPs I'm in, which are 5e. As long as I can keep that, and don't have to learn a new system, I'm fine with bringing in some 5.5. -

Could you add a tag if you're done? -
@Mick the Rogue That's a good question. I prefer not local at all, so I can treat you all the same in terms of knowledge about the area and its occupants.

RP Sample It was time. Kreshna made up her mind finally to try her hand at being an adventurer, leaving the rank and file of her home behind. The garrison, while not terrible, was just not for her. Seeing was lies beyond the boarders will do her good. She mentioned her thoughts on the matter with her clan already and made her way to Rhok's provisions to fill out the rest of what she might need for her travails. As she entered the shop, the door bell dinged, signaling her entry. "Welcome to...oh! Len! How can I help you? You...you readying yourself for your next mission in life?" Kreshna smiled to Rhock's greeting and nodded as she made her way around and picked up anything that she thought might be useful on the road. Rhok was her field trainer before he retired and opened the little provisions shop in the village. As Kreshna made her way to the counter. Her hands began to sign a question when Rhok placed his hand on hers. "Use your words, my dear. You'll need to get used to speaking more when you leave you know?" Kreshna's head lowers slightly. "My words often fail me, Rhok." She says in a soft tone as she looks back to the retired ork soldier. "All the more reason to keep at it then. Besides Len, you've got a nice voice. Need to get over your insecurities when it comes to that. How is it that someone as fierce with a warhammer or a maul, is as quiet as a field mouse? Makes no bloody sense." The elder ork says as he begins rifling around for some odd or end that needs to be placed into the shop. Kreshna shakes her head. "I was trained to fight...not for social graces." Kreshna replied She then cleared her throat a bit. Talking felt like a pain to her, but Rhok was right. Not everyone would be able to understand sign language. It was strange that her hands felt like they could be louder then her voice at times. She then turned back to the Orc. "Let's t - try this. Erhm. I need to get some gear...for my travails. Is there anything you can recommend that...I may have missed?" She says as she hands him a list of items she was looking for for her journey. Rhoc turned and took a look at the list and then nodded. "Sure. A few items I can see you might need and a few that you may want to strike from this list. If your travailing, you'll want to be prepared but still somewhat light. Let's see what we can do?" Rhoc says with a tusked grin back to the soft spoken warrior.

Eliwick Timbers Level 1 Rock Gnome Criminal Wizard Information ‘My thoughts are slanted,’, “my words are bold,”, and my actions are plain. A fat, ugly goblin boy sat there picking the lock on the strongbox. The goblin couldn’t believe its luck. The tax collector hadn’t even bothered to leave a guard at the door. Click! “Come on, you little dung-nugget!” came a voice that was distinctly not goblinoid, nor male, as the little monster frustratedly jiggled the lockpick this way and that. Click! “Yes! There we go! One more to go, methinks! Li’l bastard’ll be damned!” Don! Don! Don! Don! “Shite!” the female voice said, coming out of the ugly little goblin. Jiggle-Jiggle-CLICK! “Yes!” the goblin cheered. It opened the strongbox and pulled out the bag of gold. It threw a bag of small metal scraps she’d nicked from the blacksmith into the box and shut it. Her luck continued when it clicked itself locked shut. She threw up a minor illusion spell just in time for a man to burst into the room. The illusion made it look like a there was a second chest of drawers next to the actual dresser that stood stately behind the strongbox. The man and his guests came in and sat at the writing table in the other corner of the room. Within the illusion of the dresser, the goblin put away its thieves’ tools, but it got progressively more nervous as the time wore on. It secured the bag of gold it’d just stolen and the shifting coins made an audible clinking sound. “What was that?!” the tax collector suddenly asked, looking right at the false dresser. “Was . . . was there a second dresser there before?” the other man asked. “I can’t well remember, Hecktor. We’ve only just arrived—I had the men put my stuff up here.” “There’s no second dresser in my room!” the other man said. Whether they were going to investigate it or not, the choice was taken from the two men as the illusion ran out of time and disappeared with a pop. The ugly little goblin “Eep”ed as it was discovered. “Guards!” the men cried in unison. The goblin cast the expeditious retreat spell, and began trying to jump out the window. It’s foot caught and the tax-collector grabbed its foot with a triumphant “Gotcha, ya little shite!” Suddenly, lightning raced up the man’s arm and he went rigid with the goblin’s shocking grasp spell. The expeditious retreat spell let it run and run and run back into the nearby forest, loosing the chasing guards far, far faster than any little ugly goblin should be able to run. Crossing through the forest took about a half an hour and during that time, the goblin disguise melted away after its hour-long time limit. In its place, a gnome girl named Eliwick exited the other side of the forest back into her little village. That night, she snuck into windows returning the taxes extorted from the poor townsfolk by the tax collector the day before, placing the gold on their kitchen tables—though, of course, Eliwick kept a little handful for herself, so the wealthier folks in town got back a gold-coin or two fewer than they’d paid the collector.

Kreshna Len'Vall Flamescale Dragonborn, Barbarian Attributes (Random Generation). Strength: 18 (+4) Dexterity: 16 (+3) Constitution: 16 (+3) Intelligence: 8 (-1) Wisdom: 10 (0) Charisma: 6 (-2) Save: +6 Athletics: +6 Save: +3 Acrobatics: +3 Sleight of Hand: +3 Stealth: +3 Save: +5 Save: -1 Arcana: -1 History: -1 Investigation: -1 Nature: -1 Religion: -1 Save: +0 Animal Handling: 0 Insight: 0 Medicine: 0 Perception: +2 Survival: +2 Save: -2 Deception: -2 Intimidation: +0 Performance: -2 Persuasion: -2 Protective Poised Stable Frivolous Considerate/Distracted Reserved Personality Kreshna is quiet and prefers to observe rather then put herself in the middle of a conversation though if someone needs help, she is more then willing to lend a hand. Through her training she learned sign language as a means to communicate with her comrades on the field but has adapted it to her everyday life to varying degrees of success. When pushed, however, she becomes a force of nature in her own right as an inner frustration is let loose upon those unfortunate enough to awaken her ire. Kreshna has learned to harness this rage after a time to better focus it on her tasks in combat as well as to suppress it if she needs to. Appearance Kreshna is a fairly tall dragonborn standing at 6' 6" with dark red scales and long red hair(?) and scaled tail. She favors light functional cloths and bludgeoning weapons for combat often carrying several throwing hammers, Javelins as well as a Maul, a war hammer and a shield. Backstory Kreshna belonged to the Flamescale clan of dragonborn. Known for their combat prowess in the field. Physically, Kreshna was no exception. Though she performed well in combat, her thoughts were often somewhere else. As if there was something else, she would rather do. Kreshna was quiet around people for the most part. She often spoke very softly when she did speak or would use gestures to convey her needs as if speaking was painful. Kreshna was trained as a soldier as was her clan’s traditions. Despite her quiet demeanor, when she got serious, few in her squad could match her. From an early age she showed promise in the art of combat, learning all forms of weapon techniques. When she got older, she developed a more aggressive fighting style which prompted her to use more blunt force weapons. Blades and bows often did not last long in her hands so she started using hammers and mauls. As her training came to an end, while her combat prowess was what the Flamescale clan would be very proud of. She was not suited for the rigid structure of the military and found herself looking ever more into leaving her home to travail. She was curious about what the rest of the world was like, only seeing a small fraction from her home or the occasional boarder disputes she took part in. It was perhaps a relief to her superiors as well given that while she followed her orders well, Kreshna also not as militant minded and would act outside those orders. Especially if lives were at stake.

Spellbook Cantrips From Species: MendingTransmutation Cantrip Casting Time: 1 minute Range: Touch Components: V, S, M (two lodestones) Duration: Instantaneous This spell repairs a single break or tear in an object you touch, such as a broken chain link, two halves of a broken key, a torn cloak, or a leaking wineskin. As long as the break or tear is no larger than 1 foot in any dimension, you mend it, leaving no trace of the former damage. This spell can physically repair a magic item, but it can’t restore magic to such an object. Source: PHB’24, page 297. Available in the Free Rules (2024). From Species: PrestidigitationTransmutation Cantrip Casting Time: ActionRange: 10 feet Components: V, S Duration: 1 hour You create a magical effect within range. Choose the effect from the options below. If you cast this spell multiple times, you can have up to three of its non-instantaneous effects active at a time. Sensory Effect. You create an instantaneous, harmless sensory effect, such as a shower of sparks, a puff of wind, faint musical notes, or an odd odor. Fire Play. You instantaneously light or snuff out a candle, a torch, or a small campfire. Clean or Soil. You instantaneously clean or soil an object no larger than 1 cubic foot. Minor Sensation. You chill, warm, or flavor up to 1 cubic foot of nonliving material for 1 hour. Magic Mark. You make a color, a small mark, or a symbol appear on an object or a surface for 1 hour. Minor Creation. You create a nonmagical trinket or an illusory image that can fit in your hand. It lasts until the end of your next turn. A trinket can deal no damage and has no monetary worth. Source: PHB’24, page 307. Available in the Free Rules (2024). From Class (1st Level): Mage HandConjuration Cantrip Casting Time: Action Range: 30 feet Components: V, S Duration: 1 minute A spectral, floating hand appears at a point you choose within range. The hand lasts for the duration. The hand vanishes if it is ever more than 30 feet away from you or if you cast this spell again. When you cast the spell, you can use the hand to manipulate an object, open an unlocked door or container, stow or retrieve an item from an open container, or pour the contents out of a vial. As a Magic action on your later turns, you can control the hand thus again. As part of that action, you can move the hand up to 30 feet. The hand can’t attack, activate magic items, or carry more than 10 pounds. Source: PHB’24, page 293. Available in the Free Rules (2024). From Class (1st Level): Minor IllusionIllusion Cantrip Casting Time: Action Range: 30 feet Components: S, M (a bit of fleece) Duration: 1 minute You create a sound or an image of an object within range that lasts for the duration. See the descriptions below for the effects of each. The illusion ends if you cast this spell again. If a creature takes a Study action to examine the sound or image, the creature can determine that it is an illusion with a successful Intelligence (Investigation) check against your spell save DC. If a creature discerns the illusion for what it is, the illusion becomes faint to the creature. Sound. If you create a sound, its volume can range from a whisper to a scream. It can be your voice, someone else’s voice, a lion’s roar, a beating of drums, or any other sound you choose. The sound continues unabated throughout the duration, or you can make discrete sounds at different times before the spell ends. Image. If you create an image of an object—such as a chair, muddy footprints, or a small chest—it must be no larger than a 5-foot Cube. The image can’t create sound, light, smell, or any other sensory effect. Physical interaction with the image reveals it to be an illusion, since things can pass through it. Source: PHB’24, page 298. Available in the Free Rules (2024). From Class (1st Level): Shocking Grasp Evocation Cantrip Casting Time: Action Range: Touch Components: V, S Duration: Instantaneous Lightning springs from you to a creature that you try to touch.

If you sense such effects, you can take the Magic action to see a faint aura around any visible creature or object in the area that bears the magic, and if an effect was created by a spell, you learn the spell’s school of magic. The spell is blocked by 1 foot of stone, dirt, or wood; 1 inch of metal; or a thin sheet of lead. Source: PHB’24, page 262. Available in the Free Rules (2024). Disguise SelfLevel 1 Illusion Casting Time: Action Range: Self Components: V, S Duration: 1 hour You make yourself—including your clothing, armor, weapons, and other belongings on your person—look different until the spell ends. You can seem 1 foot shorter or taller and can appear heavier or lighter. You must adopt a form that has the same basic arrangement of limbs as you have. Otherwise, the extent of the illusion is up to you. The changes wrought by this spell fail to hold up to physical inspection. For example, if you use this spell to add a hat to your outfit, objects pass through the hat, and anyone who touches it would feel nothing. To discern that you are disguised, a creature must take the Study action to inspect your appearance and succeed on an Intelligence (Investigation) check against your spell save DC. Source: PHB’24, page 262. Available in the Free Rules (2024). Expeditious RetreatLevel 1 Transmutation Casting Time: Bonus action Range: Self Components: V, S Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes You take the Dash action, and until the spell ends, you can take that action again as a Bonus Action.

Appearing in an unoccupied space within range, the familiar has the statistics of the chosen form, though it is a Celestial, Fey, or Fiend (your choice) instead of a Beast. Your familiar acts independently of you, but it obeys your commands. Telepathic Connection. While your familiar is within 100 feet of you, you can communicate with it telepathically. Additionally, as a Bonus Action, you can see through the familiar’s eyes and hear what it hears until the start of your next turn, gaining the benefits of any special senses it has. Finally, when you cast a spell with a range of touch, your familiar can deliver the touch. Your familiar must be within 100 feet of you, and it must take a Reaction to deliver the touch when you cast the spell. Combat. The familiar is an ally to you and your allies. It rolls its own Initiative and acts on its own turn. A familiar can’t attack, but it can take other actions as normal. Disappearance of the Familiar. When the familiar drops to 0 Hit Points, it disappears. It reappears after you cast this spell again. As a Magic action, you can temporarily dismiss the familiar to a pocket dimension. Alternatively, you can dismiss it forever. As a Magic action while it is temporarily dismissed, you can cause it to reappear in an unoccupied space within 30 feet of you. Whenever the familiar drops to 0 Hit Points or disappears into the pocket dimension, it leaves behind in its space anything it was wearing or carrying. One Familiar Only. You can’t have more than one familiar at a time. If you cast this spell while you have a familiar, you instead cause it to adopt a new eligible form. Source: PHB’24, page 272.

See chapter 7 for the rules on spellcasting. The information below details how you use those rules with Wizard spells, which appear in the Wizard spell list later in the class’s description. Cantrips. You know three Wizard cantrips of your choice. Light, Mage Hand, and Ray of Frost are recommended. Whenever you finish a Long Rest, you can replace one of your cantrips from this feature with another Wizard cantrip of your choice. When you reach Wizard levels 4 and 10, you learn another Wizard cantrip of your choice, as shown in the Cantrips column of the Wizard Features table. Spellbook. Your wizardly apprenticeship culminated in the creation of a unique book: your spellbook. It is a Tiny object that weighs 3 pounds, contains 100 pages, and can be read only by you or someone casting Identify. You determine the book’s appearance and materials, such as a gilt-edged tome or a collection of vellum bound with twine. The book contains the level 1+ spells you know. It starts with six level 1 Wizard spells of your choice. Detect Magic, Feather Fall, Mage Armor, Magic Missile, Sleep, and Thunderwave are recommended. Whenever you gain a Wizard level after 1, add two Wizard spells of your choice to your spellbook. Each of these spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots, as shown in the Wizard Features table. The spells are the culmination of arcane research you do regularly. Spell Slots. The Wizard Features table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your level 1+ spells. You regain all expended slots when you finish a Long Rest. Prepared Spells of Level 1+. You prepare the list of level 1+ spells that are available for you to cast with this feature. To do so, choose four spells from your spellbook. The chosen spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots. The number of spells on your list increases as you gain Wizard levels, as shown in the Prepared Spells column of the Wizard Features table. Whenever that number increases, choose additional Wizard spells until the number of spells on your list matches the number in the table. The chosen spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots. For example, if you’re a level 3 Wizard, your list of prepared spells can include six spells of levels 1 and 2 in any combination, chosen from your spellbook. If another Wizard feature gives you spells that you always have prepared, those spells don’t count against the number of spells you can prepare with this feature, but those spells otherwise count as Wizard spells for you. Changing Your Prepared Spells. Whenever you finish a Long Rest, you can change your list of prepared spells, replacing any of the spells there with spells from your spellbook. Spellcasting Ability. Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your Wizard spells. Spellcasting Focus. You can use an Arcane Focus or your spellbook as a Spellcasting Focus for your Wizard spells. Expanding and Replacing a Spellbook The spells you add to your spellbook as you gain levels reflect your ongoing magical research, but you might find other spells during your adventures that you can add to the book. You could discover a Wizard spell on a Spell Scroll, for example, and then copy it into your spellbook. Copying a Spell into the Book. When you find a level 1+ Wizard spell, you can copy it into your spellbook if it’s of a level you can prepare and if you have time to copy it. For each level of the spell, the transcription takes 2 hours and costs 50 GP. Afterward you can prepare the spell like the other spells in your spellbook. Copying the Book. You can copy a spell from your spellbook into another book. This is like copying a new spell into your spellbook but faster, since you already know how to cast the spell. You need spend only 1 hour and 10 GP for each level of the copied spell. If you lose your spellbook, you can use the same procedure to transcribe the Wizard spells that you have prepared into a new spellbook. Filling out the remainder of the new book requires you to find new spells to do so. For this reason, many wizards keep a backup spellbook. Level 1: Ritual Adept PHB’24 p155 You can cast any spell as a Ritual if that spell has the Ritual tag and the spell is in your spellbook. You needn’t have the spell prepared, but you must read from the book to cast a spell in this way. Level 1: Arcane Recovery PHB’24 p155 You can regain some of your magical energy by studying your spellbook. When you finish a Short Rest, you can choose expended spell slots to recover. The spell slots can have a combined level equal to no more than half your Wizard level (round up), and none of the slots can be level 6 or higher. For example, if you’re a level 4 Wizard, you can recover up to two levels’ worth of spell slots, regaining either one level 2 spell slot or two level 1 spell slots. Once you use this feature, you can’t do so again until you finish a Long Rest. -
