Storms batter the coast, ships vanish without a trace, and Skyhorn Lighthouse—normally a beacon of safety—now flickers like a dying heartbeat. With fear spreading through the harbor, only one captain dares to ferry a band of adventurers toward the troubled island.
But the sea itself seems to rise in defiance, and something unnatural coils around the lighthouse’s crumbling stones. Beneath the roar of the waves, an older power stirs—one that could drown the coast in chaos if left unchecked.
To uncover the truth, the party must brave raging waters, relentless foes, and the secrets lurking below the tide. The storm is coming, and Skyhorn Lighthouse is only the beginning.
Notes
House Rules
Critical Success:
A critical success is when you succeed on a check by 10 or more and get a spectacular outcome. If this is an attack roll, this is a critical hit and you add the maximum possible damage to what you already rolled. Rolling a natural 20 will be a success, but it might not be a critical success, unless it meets the above criteria.
Critical Failure:
If you fail a check by 10 or more, that's a critical failure and there will be a strong negative consequence. Rolling a natural 1 indicates a failure, but it might not be a critical failure unless it meets the above criteria.
Inspiration:
While inspiration can be used for a re-roll, it can also be used in other ways at the gamemasters discretion. You could use it to create a needed contact, “Actually it just so happens my cousin works for that guild we need to infiltrate, and he owes me a favor.” Or it could be used ret-con the purchase of a needed piece of equipment, “Actually I forgot to mention that I purchased 5 bags of caltrops when were last in town.”
