Festival of the Hollow Moon (Beginner Friendly Level 3 One-Shot)
Publisher: Dungeon Masters Guild
Every five years, the people of Thistlehollow celebrate the Festival of the Hollow Moon. To the villagers, it is a night of joy: games, contests, and a grand scavenger hunt that ends in laughter and prizes. Yet behind the lantern light and revelry lies a darker truth. An old bargain bound in oaths, memory, and blood. For generations, the prosperity of the village has been bought with a hidden ritual, and this year, the party has been chosen to be the sacrifice that keeps the village safe.
The festival begins with lighthearted games and a riddle-laden challenge called the Moontrail, drawing players into puzzles and exploration. At the climax, the heroes find themselves trapped within a magic circle, where the mayor reveals the truth: the ritual demands a sacrifice. Without it, the fey bound beneath the moon will awaken, and the cost will be terrible.
In the final act, the players must make some hard choices. They may choose one of their number to lay down their life, fight the imprisoned fey, or attempt to forge a new pact. Whatever they choose, the Festival of the Hollow Moon will not end with simple victory, but with consequences that will echo into the future.
