What it is about

Coerced into a mission to help a friend and mentor, you are hired to retrieve a stolen heirloom, a mask sacred to a tribe of goblins. This is a numbered-paragraph adventure in the vein of Fighting Fantasy and Choose Your Own Adventure but with differences. You get a simple D6 oracle, high for yes, low for no. You can use this to control enemies in battles, asking questions like, "Do they charge?", or "Do they retreat?" The die gives them a level of autonomy that a regular game book cannot offer. The adventure uses the full 5e rules, although this adventure only uses OGL/Open content. This is a 1st level adventure. The adventure also contains plot hooks or loose ends that will link into further adventure books. You can carry your character on to further solo adventures. This adventure also contains random tables. This allows for random encounters and world-building. Your version of the setting will be different from anyone else's. Random elements also help to add replayability. Location record sheets let you record changes to the environment and unique elements you create. All the numbered paragraphs are hyperlinked to make playing on screen easier.
