Dark Sorceries - A 5E Solo Adventure

All conversation abruptly stops as the door to the inn crashes open. A cloaked figure staggers into the room, falling to his knees. The stranger looks human, though his cowl is pulled low, hiding his features from sight. His clothes are covered in frost and fresh snow.

“P-please… h-help… m-me...,” a strangled voice pleads from under the hood. Pain and desperation are evident in the man’s voice.

What do you do?

If you are looking for a thrilling adventure set in the Forgotten Realms, look no further! Dark Sorceries is a 5th Edition Dungeons & Dragons Solo Adventure, inspired by Paul Bimler’s “The Death Knight’s Squire” and is the first chapter in the Heroes of Faerun: Shadowborne campaign (a series of custom adventures designed for solo play). This adventure takes 2-4 hours to play, and is designed to take a 2nd-level character all the way to 3rd-level. While this adventure is designed for solo play, it can be easily tailored to work with any gaming group.

Dark Sorceries reads like a “choose your own adventure” book, where choices are presented to the player, and the player chooses a response from among those choices to progress through the story.

The adventure is written with a gripping and dramatic narrative, combining a multitude of different responses that will impact NPC attitudes and outcomes in the story. You will fight monsters, you will create allies, and you will come face to face with creatures birthed from dark sorcery.

You will need the 5E Basic Rules (PHB and DMG recommended) in order to play, a printer or a virtual tabletop for displaying the hand-drawn maps, and tokens or minis to help keep track of the tactical combat encounters.

So grab some snacks, put on your favorite adventuring music, and dive in! Adventurers needed, Dungeon Masters not required!
