DND One Shot Jungle of Murram

 We played a one shot today, the first session for a kid. 

There was Semafor, a Druid, a Half-Elf Bard called Dastana, a Dragonborn Wizard called Bubo Bubo, and Ghost, a halfling Monk. There was also Vace Entura, a firbolg warlock who never showed up. We meet at a tavern in a town on the outskirts of this magical forest. The guide meets us there. It is raining, there are dark clouds over the forest, and purple lightning in the unnatural, off-season rain. The tavern master tells us that we might meet some forest spirit to help us, and that the dinosaurs are located deep in the forest. 

Ghost takes us to their Nani, who tells us to go try and find the spirit, and equips us with gear. I borrow both an umbrella and a raincoat. We head off into the forest, and here the cries of an animal. On investigation, we encounter a cute baby triceratops. The Druid talks to the animal and figures out that she is looking for her mother. She agrees to follow us, after we promise to look for her mother as well. 

We follow the glowing mushrooms and reach the cabin in the woods of the spirit of the forest, guarding everyone, called the Accountant. The accountant is a stegosaur with books instead of armour plating. She asks us to get rid of a bunch of pesky pterodactyls that have been stealing her breakfast and attacking the chest with the original books. We do that. I almost die in the encounter, but we clear them out. 

We then head deeper into the forest, come across a large mushroom tower, there are many big mushrooms here. We enter the door using a spell, after solving a riddle: 

No water, no sun, we cannot grow
We await the one whose hands will glow
Bring green to life, and let the jungle know

We use dancing lights. The Druid does. Then inside, there is a staircase, and another door with a riddle. 

I hear no song, though once I danced.
My feet are still, my heart entranced.
Let melody stir leaf and stone,
Sing me awake—I am not alone.

The Bard and the Druid sing the song and open the door. Within it is a myconian big dad, with a direwolf familiar. Ghost has a mongoose familiar too. The Triceratops, Angelique attacks the direwolf and is taken down immideately, and the myconid casts a net on me and the Bard. I give myself extra HP with Second Life, and then get out, chromatic orb on the dire wolf and some unseen roaring creature, that happens to be a dilophosaur. The bard and the monk are using knives, the druid a quaterstaff, and we manage to take down all the enemies, free the forest, and dispel the storm. 

There was a ghost trex that got edited out in the interest of time. I had as much fun as the kid lol.
