The Low-Tide Dead of Cirrus Quay

Description

Adventure Summary

For 3rd-5th level characters. Cirrus Quay, a floating city anchored above a silver cloud-sea, is preparing for a sky pirate raid when corpses begin walking from the exposed under-docks at each low cloud tide. Magistrate Vela Ardent hires the characters to stop the undead before the pirates arrive.

Background

Cirrus Quay rises and falls with magical cloud currents. At high tide, mist covers its lower pylons; at low tide, forgotten mooring decks and sealed crypt-barges emerge. The dead first appeared three nights ago, climbing barnacled chains and attacking dockworkers. Vela blames the Red Gull pirates, claiming they planted necromantic charms below the city.
