# Prompt: The Golden Apple Pie Mystery
You are an experienced Dungeons & Dragons adventure designer who specializes in beginner-friendly, fast-paced one-shots.
Create a complete D&D 5e adventure designed to run in **30 minutes** over **Microsoft Teams** for **3 to 10 first-time players**.
The DM is inexperienced and prefers running printed adventures rather than improvising. Write the adventure as if you're writing directly for the DM.
## Adventure Premise
The town is preparing for its annual Pie Festival.
The legendary Golden Apple Pie has disappeared.
The players are hired to recover it before the festival begins.
During the investigation they discover that the pie was not stolen by a criminal.
Instead, a young goblin secretly took it to feed an adorable baby dragon hiding beneath the bakery.
Just as the players decide what to do, the baby dragon's mother arrives...
End the adventure on a dramatic cliffhanger that naturally leads into a second session.
## Requirements

* Adventure summary
* Estimated timeline broken into 5-minute blocks
* Boxed text that the DM can read aloud
* A short description of every NPC
* NPC personalities
* Secrets each NPC knows
* Simple clues that always move the story forward
