SUMMARY:Serpents of Samhain: A D&D Adventure for Teenagers
DESCRIPTION:A thousand years ago\, St Patrick drove the serpents from Ireland… or so the stories claim. \n\nThe truth has been buried by time. Patrick was not just a saint but a druid of unimaginable powers. The “Serpents” he banished were no mere snakes\, but deadly Wrymlings. Young dragons who terrorised the land. When finally defeated\, they vanished into myth… until now. \nAcross the countryside\, isolated villages fall silent. Survivors speak of scaled horrors descending from the skies\, led by a monstrous black dragon whose arrival brings sickness\, decay\, and death. A terrible plague spreads across the land\, threatening to ruin the harvest and plunge Ireland into famine. \nJoin us for a special Dungeons and Dragons adventure. Forge your own legend\, but be warned\, only the bravest will survive.\nText Anna on 0861915386 or Frank 0868222566 to find out more \n27th October 2026\n12-5pm \nAttic House\, Ballinalee Road\, Longford \nOpen to children between the ages of 13 & 17.\nRegistration with Foróige essential.\nThis is a FREE event but registration is required. \n  \n
