💬 Rumour: The village of Gotheim has missed its regular supply wagon to Talagaad—something that has never happened before.
⚔️ Hook: Lotti Babkina of the River Run Inn is worried. Your task is simple: travel to Gotheim, discover what happened, and return with the truth.
⏱️ Length: Approximately 3 hours.
👥 Characters: Any Talagaad adventurer ready to answer the call.
"Villages don't simply vanish. Find out what happened—and if anyone still lives, bring them home." — Lotti Babkina
🧭 Style: West Marches expedition, investigation, survival horror, and a climactic Monstrosity hunt.
West Marches is designed for players who can’t commit to a regular schedule. There’s a larger player pool, and you simply join whichever sessions fit your availability—no guilt and no one is left waiting if you miss a game.
Each session is a self-contained expedition from a shared home base, with the players choosing which rumours and locations to pursue. You’ll also help uncover a persistent world map in Foundry, so even occasional sessions contribute to the wider campaign.

Hey, so I recognize that I have Alaric spread around the regular game and this one shot. I'm just using him in the one shot because 1) he exists and its quicker to just use him and 2) I want to run him again before next month. I plan to have a stable of characters for future one-shots (Alaric is my 'main' that I'll use in the regular game, and I'll have a couple of alts).
Date of Expedition: August 26.
Party Members: Alaric (Hedge Wizard), Lars (Bounty Hunter), Agnes (Knight), Insitu (Boathand).
Major Discoveries: The village of Gotheim was destroyed by a Jabberslythe monstrosity.
Casualties: None.
The party ventured to Gotheim. Ambushed by Goblins. Upon reaching the village, they found it mostly destroyed. Survivors acting odd, as if magically affected. The party stumbled upon a cave to the east of the village, where they were set upon by the monstrous Jabberslythe. Agnes' heroic sword slash ended the beast.
