Cedar Village is a quiet mostly-elven village on the edge of the Summerblossom Empire, near the border with the human Federation. You're one of five adventurers in the village. You're contracted to defend the town from monsters and other threats, as they arise.
The current threat is a bad drought. There's been hardly any rain, this summer, and the forest is dying. The village has petitioned the Dragon Empress for aid, and she's sending it: an Artifact from her hoard, the Orb of Storms, which has a raincloud hovering over it wherever it goes. Normally it's used for agriculture near the capitol, but this month it'll be on lease to Cedar Village; you can carry it up and down the valley and get as much rain as anyone could ever want.
Yesterday, you saw a raincloud coming up the pass into the valley. This must herald the arrival of the Orb, and the end of the drought. The whole village held an impromptu It's Gonna Rain party, with song and dance and what food everyone could spare.
This morning, you wake to learn that something has gone badly wrong...
I'm collecting players for a oneshot Tuesday evening, 6pm EST. You'll build a fourth-level character with standard point buy and standard starting equipment. Elves are most common in the Summerblossom Empire, but any race is acceptable. Any first-party D&D-2014 book is allowed.
