Heroes’ Feast: Lair of the Red Dragon is a Fifth Edition adventure designed for three to five characters of 11th level to 14th level. The adventure pits the characters against a deadly ancient red dragon. An ancient red dragon is a significant challenge for a party of this level and will require every ounce of their strength and cleverness. If the characters rush into the encounter, they will surely be killed by the dragon. They must spend time researching their adversary to ensure survival against the menace.
The characters gather in the Summer Land town of Farncombe to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the end of the War of the Burning Plains. The event is called the Heroes’ Feast. Sharing its name with the cleric spell of the same name, the Heroes’ Feast sees a variety of cooks from across The Summer Land gather and prepare an extravagant meal for hundreds of Pressonians. As heroes of great renown, the characters are treated as the guests of honor, each one granted a seat at the head of one of the long feast tables.
The pleasant fall weather makes for an enjoyable evening. There’s feasting, drinking, dancing, and carousing. Even Anorians and Roe’d’gope join in the festivities, putting aside their cultural differences to celebrate the defeat of the dragons.
When darkness falls, the Pressonians set ablaze a colossal wooden effigy of Tostrasz the Enormous, the ancient red dragon leader of the Great Chromatics. While the revelry continues, someone notices something strange silhouetted against one of Casar’s fat autumn moons. At first, the Pressonians think that it’s all part of the event. Surely, it must be. After all, no dragon has come this close to The Summer Land in over fifty years. But then panic sets in. It’s a real dragon.
The great beast swoops down from the sky and belches a great column of fire. Instantly, its breath incinerates dozens of Farncombe’s citizens. Straw-thatched roofs ignite. Startled horses yank at their tethers and kick at their masters.
Before anyone has time to react, the dragon is gone. It flies west into the Basilisk’s Spine Mountains where its titanic roar echoes across the land.
