In the taverns of the city of Nikkassu, many strange tales are woven. Recent vagrants and madmen have told of a great trove in the forgotten city of La-Khassu-Birqu. Perhaps this will be the place where you can finally find the relic that will solve the desperate hope that brought you out here after all? This 6-session Role-Playing Game will be available for teens every other Saturday starting in June and lasting through the summer with Dungeon Master Jon, and this adventure will be for 4th-level characters. If you need help building a character for this adventure, we will have a building session on June 9!

Registration is required, and you can register for the first session at https://lclshome.org/event/teen-dungeons-dragons-session-1/
