I am running the 5e adaptation of the Temple of Elemental Evil from Goodman Games. I have three very dedicated players seeking some stalwart companions to help them put down the rise of evil. If you are interested, then read on.

Characters will begin at 4th level. You may draw upon the Player's Handbook, Dungeon Master's Guide, and Xanathar's Guide to Everything in creating your character. Other sources are not permitted. You may be of any alignment except chaotic evil, but remember that you are supposed to be heroes, not villains. Use standard point buy for your attributes.

THE STORY
The village of Hommlet thrives again. Years ago, this quaint village nearly fell prey to a great, neighboring evil. The nearby Temple of Elemental Evil, a grand edifice of wickedness, was defeated after a great battle and thrown into ruin forever... or was it? Bandits have started to ride the roads again, and there are other ominous signs afoot. It is whispered that the demonic evil at the heart of the Temple was not truly conquered, but merely imprisoned. Even now, agents of evil, malevolent beasts, and far worse creatures are conspiring to return the Temple to power and enslave the surrounding lands. Hommlet and the neighboring ruins may hold clues, but not everyone is to be trusted. Surely danger lies hidden in this idyllic region.

On arriving in Hommlet, drawn by the promise of adventure and tasked with the delivery of a minor magical item to one Burne of Hommlet, a local mage, our heroes learned of a former outpost of evil, a small moathouse near the village, where it was believed that bandits were holed up. The group penetrated the moathouse and found, not bandits, but an organization of evil cultists dedicated to the Temple once again. United under the banner of the evil Lareth the Beautiful, the cultists (and Lareth) were defeated, but at great cost. Questioning the survivors, the heroes learned that evil was once more on the rise. The next step, it would seem, is the investigation of the tiny village of Nulb, which lies about 15 leagues northeast of Hommlet and is very near the location of the original Temple.

I'll go first-come, first-served to a limit of three people. The party currently has a paladin, a cleric, and a sorcerer.

Hmm.. How about a male Tiefling rogue to help out.

Okay, I didn't expect quite such a vigorous response. I had one PM response at 1:01 pm, so I'll take GeneCortess, Basil, Arrcher101, and Cowleyc (who contacted me privately) since they sent messages at the same time. TatharCiryatan, I'm sorry, but I will be happy to keep you in mind if we lose one. Invites have been sent to the rest of you.

Sure if there is a spot open

There isn't at the moment, but I can put you on the waiting list if something opens up, right after TatharCiryatan and AnonGL.

Eh it's ok. Most likely 3 players won't be dropping off any time soon and don't really want to commit myself for a maybe if that makes sense. Thank you though for the opportunity
