Your players want a Wish spell? They’ll have to grab the Dragon’s Balls first (well, pearls of wisdom). This mythical D&D one-shot for levels 5-14 throws your party into a wild ascent up a celestial mountain, facing sassy kobolds, emotional trials, and a dragon who will definitely be judging you. It’s like Dragonball DnD meets Tower of God / Severance, so let’s see if you can pass the 4 trials by the 4 Celestial Guardians. Basically the Elite 4, but with less combat and more puzzle solving and roleplay.

Face the 4 Celestial Guardians. Pass each of their trials to prove your worth and unlock the Sacred Gate at the Summit where the Dragon can be summoned Spirit Bomb-style.
✦ Kugo, the Monk of the Four Tempers – A whirlwind dragonborn martial artist who guards the path of discipline with gusts, grapples, and a pole that is mighty powerful.
✦ Baekwatch Bloomfoot – A dreamy firbolg diva druid who tests your soul in a shifting hedge maze of illusions and unresolved trauma.
✦ Draconic Sorceress, the Seer Sazhara – A scatterbrained kobold sorceress whose chaotic garden of gremishkas explodes into magical mayhem the moment someone casts a spell.
✦ Aashari, the Flame of Renewal – A fallen phoenix guardian who like you, may need to be reborn from the ashes of your failures before you face the dragon
