What is D&D Encounters?

D&D Encounters is an exciting, weekly campaign that plays out one epic encounter at a time. As you defeat enemies, solve puzzles, finish quests, and perform heroic deeds, you’ll earn Renown Points that you can use to get exclusive rewards.

Each session only takes 1-2 hours to play, so it’s easy to fit your game in after school or work. And each week there’s a new and exciting challenge. Jump in anytime!

PLEASE NOTE THAT DUE TO THE SUMMER HOLIDAYS WE ARE EXPERIENCING SOME VENUE PROBLEMS. THE USUAL WEDNESDAY SESSIONS WILL RESUME SHORTLY, MEANWHILE YOU CAN CATCH UP ALL THE ACTION AT EITHER OUR TUESDAY NIGHT CLUB (from 20:00) or on SUNDAYS (from 19:30) at the ESSEX WARHOUNDS.

Session 2: Elemental Assistance

Leaving the darkened sky and scavenging silt runners behind, the party was drawn toward a small valley, where a creature made of living flame appeared and communicated by melting its words into the sand. The “Spirit of the Flame” explained how it came to be and that it was waiting for the coming of the next Green Age—an occurrence that will only come about through the collective effort of all Athasians. The interaction with the elemental creature was cut short when the party was surrounded and attacked by a small colony of large insects, known as Kanks.

Session 1: Escape the Storm

While traveling across the Tablelands from Altaruk toward the city-state of Tyr, a merchant caravan was caught up in a deadly obsidian shard storm. Emerging from the wreckage as the only survivors, a party of adventurers was then beset by a reptilian horde of silt runners. In order to survive the ambush (and ongoing storm), the heroes salvaged as many supplies as they could and fought their way out of immediate danger, fleeing into the Wastes.
