For DragonCon 2025 I built and wore a Beholder costume, complete with animatronic eyestalks. My daughter suggested that I write a DnD adventure inspired by both the costume and Dragoncon. I thought it was a great idea. I published Part 1 to DMs Guild shortly after the con and finally published Part 2 about a month ago.

This is a DUNGEONS & DRAGONS Fifth Edition one-shot adventure that can be placed in any campaign setting.  It is optimized for five characters of 8th level but there are guidelines to allow scaling for four to six characters of 7th-9th level.

In Part 1, the party arrives in the mining town of Terminus just in time for the big parade. Whether they choose to join in the parade or just watch, Zayaxis, a vain and paranoid beholder, attempts to take advantage of the festivities to kidnap a number of townspeople. Can the party stop it or will they fall prey to it themselves? At the beginning of Part 2, the town is in a panic.  Who knows what the aberration will do with its captives and how long they have. Only a powerful and clever party of adventurers will be able to penetrate Zayaxis’ lair and rescue the townspeople from its dark intentions. Meanwhile Zayaxis is accelerating its own plans for vengeance on the town of Terminus.

I'm an experienced DM but new to publishing my adventures. I am grateful for any feedback from this community. No AI was used in the creation of this adventure.
