Witness Protection is a Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition side trek for 1st level characters¸ designed to be completed in a single session (or less). It is setting agnostic and can be used in almost any campaign setting or environment. This adventure could be run in a single session¸ possibly less if the players barrel through it¸ or it could take longer if the players prolong their investigation of the crime. A local mage named Auric is the victim of a brutal crime¸ which the party is sent to investigate. The people responsible now seek to silence the lone¸ defenseless witness who could identify the person responsible for Auric's death¸ and it's up to the party to protect the witness and make sure they reach city watch headquarters safely to be interrogated.
