An Escape Room Adventure (plot twist: the room is a dragon)!

At the start of the adventure, the characters have just been swallowed by a dragon, along with a huge mouthful of gold, treasures, and potentially useful items from another dragon’s hoard. Oh, and an Egg.

This adventure combines an escape-room scenario with a cinematic finale where the characters can choose whether to participate in a battle between two dragons before flying the airship to safety. Along the way the characters make enemies and allies and there are plenty of hooks to lead the adventurers onwards.

Run as the start of an campaign (where players start at level 3) or drop into an ongoing campaign to add hooks and complications.  But also fun just as a one-shot!  Playtest groups finished in 3-4 hours.

Not juvenile but suitable for family play - no gore or horror, minimal combat required, fun challenges, roleplay opportunities, quirky NPCs.

Contains:

• Two hand-drawn maps (dragon interior and island, in color and black and white variations), suitable for paper and online play
• Set above the Moonshae island of Snowdown along the Sword Coast in the Forgotten Realms, but very easy to move (just use any hex map of an island to navigate above)
• Airship stat block and rules for airship navigation plus random aerial encounters. Not just any airship either!! A COLLAPSIBLE airship.  Super quirky and fun! Very probably the airship will not tip over -- if they don't roll poorly on the Collateral Damage table...
• Two dragon NPCs and two humanoid NPCs, intended to be potential recurring enemies and/or allies if you don't play this only as a one-shot. Introducing Moniboop Pintipple, the inventor of Pintipple’s Untippable Airships!
• A whole HOARD of dragon treasure, including a mysterious crown and some unique dragon-themed magic items
• Four monster stat blocks (fire hoard scarabs, flying kobold dragonshield, kobold inventor in a basket, kobold scale sorcerer on a giant bat)
• Accessibility best practices - tested with screen readers, no funky tables that don't work, descriptions provided for all illustrations, simplified document also provided for download and printing on black and white printers. Please let me know if you experience any problems. Everyone deserves to have fun!
