About the Book

A siege. A saboteur. One night to hold the line - no prep required.

Hold the Fifth is a complete D&D 5e one-shot adventure for 2-3 players, designed for Level 2 characters and built to run in 2-3 hours straight from the book. Inspired by the real Battle of Puebla - the outnumbered Mexican force that held Fort Guadalupe against a far superior army on the fifth of May, 1862 - this adventure takes that story into a world of orcs, betrayal, and desperate last stands, with creative liberty applied throughout.

The supply depot has been sabotaged. The horde is hours away. Reinforcements won't arrive until tomorrow. General Zaragoza needs soldiers he can trust - and that's you. Fight through four escalating waves across two days of siege, choose which outposts to defend, and uncover the traitor in your own ranks before victory turns to ruin.

What's Inside:

  • Four escalating combat encounters across two in-world days - goblins, hobgoblins, orc berserkers, and a legendary warlord boss fight in the rain
  • Five fully detailed outpost locations, each with a tactical preparation option and an investigative clue - players choose three
  • A layered investigation system with five suspects, elimination-based deduction, and a cipher payoff that rewards players who dig
  • Six battle maps including a full regional overview and the Fort Guadalupe courtyard boss arena
  • 12 fully statted creatures and NPCs including Grakhul One-Tusk, General Zaragoza, and Lieutenant Vasco
  • Four pre-generated Level 2 characters ready to play
  • Complete scaling guidance for 2-3 players at Level 2 or Level 3
Perfect For:
DMs who want a dramatic, story-driven session without a week of prep
Small groups of 2-3 players looking for an adventure built specifically for them
Players who enjoy investigation alongside combat - or who just want to hit things in a siege
Anyone who wants a D&D adventure with real historical inspiration and genuine emotional stakes

The investigation is optional. The heroism is not. Pick it up and play tonight.

Ready to run. Zero prep required. Pick it up and hold the line.
