ADVENTURE: THE ENCHANTED CANOE

It’s New Year’s Eve and your party is a long way from home. You’ve been working for months up in the mountains, felling trees, dealing with predators and warding against magical threats. Homesick and weary, you would give anything to return home and celebrate the réveillon with the rest of your friends and family, but that journey could take weeks on the river.

Just as you were resigned to greet the new year in the lonely mountains, your friend Baptiste says he knows a way to get home in mere hours – all you need to do is make a deal with an archfey.

The Enchanted Canoe is an adventure inspired by the French-Canadian legend of chasse-galerie. Players will take on the role of adventurers who are attempting to return home by taking a shortcut through the Feywild.

MEET YOUR GAMEMASTER: CODY LORD

Cody Lord is a philosopher, poet, educator, and entertainer operating out of Treaty Six territory. As a pre-service language arts teacher, Cody uses Dungeons and Dragons as means to inspire creative expression in all ages. He strives to introduce more magic into the world by inviting people to worlds of meaning and play.

As a Dungeon Master, Cody is known for his genre-bending campaigns that were hosted at the 124th street location of Tabletop Café. He has been the Dungeon Master for hundreds of Dungeons & Dragons 5th edition sessions and is an adaptive writer who personalizes his campaigns to the interests and ability of his players.

During the D&D Bash, he’ll be running an adventure of his own creation: Who’s Who in Witch’s Wares, where adventurers join an awakened donkey on his quest for independence from his witch taskmaster.

WHO'S WHO I WITCH'S WARES

Donkey Oatey has been in the service of Bavlorna the witch for as long as he can remember. He owes her a great debt because of that unfortunate day when he raided her hut and drank a room full of her potions; one of which was the very Potion of Awakening that led to his ability to recall the event and regret its occurrence.

Donkey has been working off his debt to Bavlorna by serving as her chauffeur and guide through the land of Hither, but he dreams of one day finding a spectacular treasure and trading it for his freedom.

He believes he can find such a treasure at the Great Faerie Faire, a grand trading convention where the fey creatures of Hither, Tither, & Yon gather to exchange trinkets, baubles, potions, and strange collectibles.

Even better, with the right people in his wagon, he could find a way to win the Generosity Queen Contest, the coveted award given to the most appreciated fey merchant.

Trinket collectors, fans of the Witchlight Carnival, and those with whimsical hearts, will enjoy this DND 5th edition session intended for level 6 characters.

MEET YOUR GAMEMASTER: SHANNON BARNARD

Shannon Barnard is the founder of Blik and Stilty Games, which provides professional gamemastering services in the Edmonton Area.

You can find her spinning tales of wonder and excitement at Red Claw Gaming and Pe Metawe Games.

She is also an Envoy for Brotherwise Games and an Organized Play Member with Kobold Press.
During the D&D Bash, she'll be running an adventure of her own creation: Circles Within Circles, where adventurers must recover a treasured insignia of the Circle of Wildfire from the Feywild goblins who stole it.

CIRCLES WITHIN CIRCLES

The Emerald Enclave is known by many as a society deeply invested in the protection of Faerun’s natural world. It welcomes those who prove worthy of The Oak Father's blessing and award those with the title of Caretaker. New Caretaker’s are welcomed into Enclave Circle’s by ritual held under the light of a full moon deep in the secret heart of Coltree.

One such ritual, however, has been interrupted by a group of Feywild goblins and they have stolen the insignia for the Circle of Wildfire. The leaders of the Emerald Enclave, known as The Three, have summoned you for a special mission.

You are to travel to The Feywild to retrieve the insignia and return with the goblins who stole it. The Witch Queen Iggwilv has offered passage through her realm, as penance for the theft.

As with all things Fey, remember that not everything is as it appears and that rules can be stretched before they are considered broken. Travel swiftly, your time there will last as long as her patience. May the strength of Silvanus protect you.

MEET YOUR GAMEMASTER: KEVIN MAXWELL

Kevin is a longtime Game Master with a passion for all things gaming.

He can often be found at conventions, festivals, and community events throughout the region, frequently in costume as one of his many favorite characters.

During the D&D Bash, he'll be running an adventure of his own creation: Whispers Beneath the Moonbloom Court, where adventurers must confront an ancient force before several innocents are trapped in an endless dream.

WHISPERS BENEATH THE MOONBLOOM COURT

The quiet village of Lunarharvest is in crisis.

Villagers are disappearing in the night, and those who return have lost their dreams, growing weaker with each passing day.

To uncover the truth, the adventurers must cross into the mysterious Feywild, navigate its enchanting yet dangerous courts, and confront an ancient force before both the village, and perhaps the heroes themselves are lost to an endless dream.

MEET YOUR GAMEMASTER: KASSIDY WADE

Kassidy is a longtime storyteller who loves creating immersive worlds where players can uncover mysteries and shape the course of the adventure. When she isn't running games or working as a Food Safety Specialist, she can usually be found tending her garden, exploring the river valley, or reading alongside her cat.

During the D&D Bash, she'll run an adventure of her own creation: The House of Lost Things, where adventurers are on a quest to save a kingdom from the clutches of the evil arch-hag, Grandmother Briar.

Once, King Humphrey ruled a prosperous kingdom. Now, he watches it crumble. His people suffer, his nobles have turned on him, and the eternal youth he bargained for has become a curse. The one responsible? Grandmother Briar, an immortal arch-hag who cannot be defeated…unless you can find her hidden weakness.

Deep within the Feywild lies the House of Lost Things, a realm where everything lost eventually arrives. Somewhere inside is the secret that can destroy Grandmother Briar. To find it, you must navigate the strange magics and arcane rules of the Fey, and contend with the wandering beings the world has forgotten.

And be careful…some things are lost for a reason.
