Welcome to the Jungle –
The talk of the streets and taverns has all been about the so-called death curse: a wasting disease afflicting everyone who’s ever been raised from the dead. Victims grow thinner and weaker each day, slowly but steadily sliding toward the death they once denied.
When they finally succumb, they can’t be raised—and neither can anyone else, regardless of whether they’ve ever received that miracle in the past. Temples and scholars of divine magic are at a loss to explain a curse that has affected the entire region, and possibly the entire world.
Explore the untamed jungles of an isolated island called Chult for answers. A vast wilderness of unclaimed treasures and mysteries awaits!
“Tomb of Annihilation has a potential to be very, very deadly. Expect terrifying encounters where even the jungle itself comes to claim you for its own, some of which, the answer may be to flee instead of fight. Having at least 1 backup character recommended” – DM India
Character options only from official 5e sources. Play test material is not allowed.
This game uses Roll20. Please, make sure you have a working microphone. Once you have purchased a ticket – you will be contacted by your DM and sent an invitation to the Roll20 server for this game.
