A marauding dragon has laid waste to numerous villages, striking without mercy. No one knows how long it intends to terrorize the realm. But there is hope, a nearby castle once had the power to generate a lightning shield around itself. If you can find 6 lightning rods, perhaps the lightning shield could be reactivated, allowing refugees fleeing the dragon to use the keep as a sanctuary. This class consists of two interactive 90-minute sessions. The story adapts to the choices made by the adventurers. Parents can expect a blend of teamwork, problem-solving, and imaginative storytelling. Player may choose to come with their own 3rd level character ready to use. Or they will be provided a pre-made character at the beginning of the first session. CLASS 1: Introductions & Story Introductions - Learners will greet each other, discuss their experience with Dungeons & Dragons or similar games. Rules - As a group, learners will create a set of rules to follow through the week. Character Introductions - Learners will describe their character or choose from a selection of pre-made characters. Adventure - Call to Action: The players are arrive at the the keep. CLASS 2: Story Adventure - A Keep Not Empty - The adventurers rid the keep of the monsters inside. Wrap Up - The adventurers successfully collect the 6 rods to power the keep once more. Reflection- Learners will describe their favourite moments from the story and what they enjoyed. To participate in this thrilling adventure, students will require access to a computer.
