DM INFORMATION AND PRESENT DAY NOTES:
This is a campaign that did not get finished/started as hoped. Note here are UNFINISHED and not final. They may not make sense and some direction may be bad or incomplete.
ADDITIONALLY this was my first ever time writing a campaign. It is a ONE OFF and there are likely mistakes in how i determined/chose dice/skill checks etc. But there is some homebrew as well, where i changed some things.
DND one off campaign based on The Moon's Talon (my old warrior cats fanclan story - tumblr blog located here)

Summary:
For the past five moons the clans have slowly suffered from famine and drought - the river has started to dry and become a strange, murky color that's caused sickness and death for those who drink from it. Prey has in turn become infected and too dangerous to eat. Roseclan and Thistleclan have suffered the most, while in recent moons Pineclan has started to recover as their primary hunters seem to find enough good prey to keep them going now. But as Pineclan's leader Cavernstar becomes more aggressive of their territory, the other two clans know full well they need to find the source of their problem if they are all to survive.
A patrol of cats from all three clans are called together, so they may venture out and save the clans from being wiped out for good. But as they continue they start to find a hint or two of the dead cats who have died recently, and their odd circumstances... Why are they torn apart in such a strange way? Why can't they smell a familiar predator? As they follow the murky river down stream, they come across what appears to be an abaned human build site, and all across are spilled oil drums, leading into the water they drink from. Before they can think, a lightning storm strike the tree around them, igniting a smaller puddle. Timberscorch rushes to the flames, taking a burning branch and tossing into the river below. When the fire errupts down the river, he admits to keeping Pineclan alive by killing other cats to feed his clan, and that he must keep their trust and loyalty to him. He can't have them fix the river, and will kill everyone and the forest as well.
After an exhausting fight the party returns to the clans as a rain storm clears the remaining fire, eventually confronting Pineclan's leader and bringing the news. The traumatized clan recovers in the coming moons, while the other two slowly heal from the weakness they endured for moons.
