Hello there, I am hoping to run a one shot story with the intention of play testing a homebrew archetype, Circle of Iron Druid. My idea behind the Druid of Iron is a darker theme for a Druid. They could be rejected by their clan or tribe, rejected by nature, maybe even failed base lessons and practices. The Druid could have grown up in a city environment, never receiving nature's blessing. Perhaps they started learning to be a Druid and abandoned the practices and beliefs. They have no proper teacher or guidance to help them. Their shape changing becomes irregular and twisted. They learn to shape-shift into other people and take on aspects of abominations.

For those still interested, the campaign is simple. You wake up in a ragged tunic, skirt, and sandals. The only thing of value on your person is a pouch of coins. Looking around you are in a massive underground cavern. You're currently atop a cliff with a large city below. A handful of large glowing orbs shine a blue light over the city. Several spots of fire and candle light further illuminate the streets and buildings. People come and go as they please, the city if thriving, but as you look closer they aren't Humans and Elves. These are Demons, fiends, and devils. You quickly realize you're not in the material plane. Further investigation reveals the occasional human, elf, dwarf, and like from the material realm, all of which are being treated as sex slaves. Their presence in this plane merely for pleasure of whichever evil entity owns them. You fail to find any individual not of evil origin with any kind of freedom.

The goal of the campaign is simple, escape the pocket of the Lust Plane you find yourself in. There are a handful of methods scattered within the city and the surrounding areas. Death is not a concern of this game as it sucks and is boring. I do intend for this to be difficult however as I want to test how the class is, thus failure is not without consequence. Sex in the Plane of Lust happens frequently to all creatures and has a greater effect, most humans and elves giving in to pure lust after only a few orgasms.

Now for the details of the campaign. I am looking for a player willing to play a female human or elven character using the Druid archetype I have made. You're free to use any source material otherwise. A character will not die in this game however if they are receive cum or are brought to orgasm three times then they will succumb to lust and essentially lose. Victory is escaping back to the material plane, which can be done by finding a portal or item that will send you back. The character will be level 10 and start with 15000 gold in platinum coins and rare gems. For stats it'll be using the point buy system. Human variant, is allowed. All interested are welcome to create a character, I will only be choosing one though. I may run a second thread later on depending on how things turn our or flow. If there are questions, comments, concerns, or suggestions feel free to let me know. I want this to be difficult, but I want it to be fun as well, primarily fun.

These spells are not on the Druid list, but count as druid spells for you.
