This post covers part three of Basking in the Light, the second installment in our Land of Vampires series. In this portion of the adventure, the party enters the walls of St. Sebastian! Inside, they’ll find a story rather different than that of the Ring of Light, and perhaps a secret or two! But ultimately, it will be up to the party to choose their side.

You and your players will have more fun with the exploration pillar of Dungeons and Dragons if you remember to focus on how the exploration can add to the story, cater to your player’s preferences, create settings in fantastic locations, solicit details, and steal inspiration.

In this duet adventure for one GM and one PC of levels 3-5, take a trip to the enchanting forests and colorful fields of the Fae Brightlands and join a search for the mystical miniature fae unicorn—a pseudocorn! If the party is willing to take up their assignment from a clever menagerie manager, he’ll make the trip well worth their while, so long as they return with the rare, precious creature, of course!
