The Legendary Lime Grove (Free 5e One-shot Adventure)

The Legendary Lime Grove (LLG) is a 5e one-shot adventure designed for players of third level which typically takes 3-4 hours to complete. It can quickly be adapted to play for characters of higher or lower levels, and can be used as a standalone game or easily dropped into any existing campaign.

At its core, LLG is a short fun mystery adventure. The players arrive in a small seaside village and quickly learn that something is very wrong. Through discussions with the locals and their own exploration, they begin to unravel a story more strange and sinister than anyone could expect. New and experienced players love the multiple locations, great NPCs, and crazy combat possibilities.

Although LLG has received high praise from veteran players and DMs alike, this one-shot was specifically created to be a great introduction for players experiencing 5e for the first time. We make sure to put a good focus on all of the following:

• Roleplaying and interacting with NPCs
• Exploring the world and discovering important information
• Engaging in epic combat encounters

Importantly, the choices that the players make throughout really do matter, and have some pretty significant consequences on the world around them. Based on the players decisions, there are many additional story and adventure options that are available to pursue as followup to the one-shot. Many DMs use this adventure to kick off their own homebrew campaigns (which you may feel free to set in our campaign world, Aldenheim 👍)

We also know that many people use LLG as their first time for as Dungeon Master, so we’ve included all of the following:

• A ‘behind the scenes’ section at the beginning that clarifies all of the important story elements (which the players may discover)
• All key NPCs include a physical description, personality, and main talking points (with most important talking points highlighted)
• Each area has a short narrative description ready to read out loud to the players
• Monster stat blocks are streamlined and beautiful 
• Information about the gameplay goals of each area and section
• A simple table that allows for different levels of success when searching for clues
• Combat options to quickly turn an important encounter into a zany, epic, and truly memorable experience
• Advice and options for continuing LLG into later adventures and campaigns
• General Dungeon Master tips and tricks throughout
