Adventure Summary

Level Range: 3–5 | Party Size: 4–5 players
A pirate cove hidden behind a waterfall holds secrets of undead buccaneers and a deadly game of manipulation. Players must uncover the truth behind disappearances while navigating a web of betrayal.

Background

The Tideshade Cove lies beyond a cascading waterfall in a remote coastal region. Once a haven for pirates, it was sealed off by a magical barrier centuries ago. Now, the cove is a graveyard of undead sailors, their bones entwined with coral and seaweed. Locals claim the dead rise during the full moon, luring the curious into the depths. But something far darker lurks beneath the surface.

The Hook

A fisherman named Corwin approaches your party, desperate for help. His daughter vanished during the previous full moon, and he believes the cove is to blame. He offers a reward for finding her—but warns that the cove’s secrets are deadly. As the next full moon approaches, the party must decide whether to follow the trail of the missing or turn away.
