The Ready Adventure The Golden Rest: A D&D 5e One-Shot for 2-3 Players Four retired adventurers. One misheard rumor. A whole lot of expi, Book 12, (Paperback)

<b>Ever had a friend swear they heard about an amazing treasure hoard, drag everyone across the kingdom, and it turns out to be a retirement home? This adventure is that-but with swords, hallucinations, and ancient trolls.</b> <p>The Golden Rest is a comedic D&amp;D 5e one-shot that pivots into genuine heroics. Four elderly adventurers-Bernard, Helga, Greg, and Doris-hear about "The Golden Chest," a legendary treasure vault in the mountains. They gear up for one last run. Problem: it's actually "The Golden Rest," a retirement community for former adventurers. Helga misheard. </p><p>Before entering, they drink Greg's old potions of strength. The potions are over a century expired. They work-sort of. The strength boost is real. So are the vivid hallucinations that make everything look like a dungeon full of threats. </p><p><b>What follows is unforgettable: </b><br>- "Guards" that are actually confused receptionists<br>- "Weapon caches" that are walkers and canes<br>- A "dark ritual" that's Wednesday night bingo<br>- A "boss fight" against the reigning arm-wrestling champion </p><p>Then the potions wear off. The party sees what they've actually done. Horror. Shame. A single bingo ball rolls across the floor. </p><p>But their rampage cracked open deep tunnels beneath the building. Ancient trolls-dormant for centuries-are climbing up. Now the party must fight back through the destruction they caused, protecting the residents from a genuine threat. They'll face Gorthak the Ancient, an elder troll who mirrors them perfectly: old, cranky, and just wanted to be left alone. </p><p><b>What's Inside This 86-Page Adventure: </b></p><ul><li>Complete adventure for Level 3 characters, 2-3 hour runtime</li><li>4 fully detailed pre-generated characters with stat blocks and roleplay guides</li><li>6 detailed battle maps (lobby, common room, medical wing, bingo hall, and more)</li><li>Player handouts including the infamous treasure map and bingo cards</li><li>Complete stat blocks for all enemies: young trolls, troll elders, Gorthak the Ancient, a wheelchair mimic, and NPCs</li><li>Environmental hazard rules: steam jets, collapsing pillars, spreading fire</li><li>Scaling guidelines for 2, 3, or 4 players</li><li>DM guidance on balancing comedy, horror, and redemption</li></ul><b>Designed for Small Groups: </b> Built specifically for 2-3 players-no rebalancing required. Each pre-gen can be run by a single player or split between two. The adventure works whether you use the elderly characters provided or age up your own. <p><b>Perfect For: </b><br>- DMs who want comedy that earns its emotional payoff<br>- Tables tired of straightforward dungeon crawls<br>- One-shot nights and convention games<br>- Groups who appreciate tonal shifts done right<br>- Busy DMs who need session-ready content </p><p>The residents of The Golden Rest are retired adventurers themselves. They've been bored for decades. When the dust settles and the trolls fall, they don't hold grudges-they applaud. They GET IT. </p><p><b>One last adventure. One misheard rumor. One hell of a story to tell.</b><br></p>
