Vormestrand’s Scroll is a DDAL-legal adventure for level 1-2 characters set in the Forgotten Realms. It’s an unusual adventure, allowing up to four tables to co-operate to solve the situation together, making it one of the few multi-table D&D experiences available to everyone.

The finale of the Olma trilogy, What Lies Beneath Ylraphon is a Tier 1 adventure by Lysa Chen, which sees the characters defending the settlement of Ylraphon from an attack by a horde of undead.
