DSA5 - In the Eye of the Storm

In the Eye of the Storm by Fred Ericson and Jeanette Marsteller

All that has been swallowed up by the waves of the eons may not linger forever on the seabed of oblivion, for when the ages break like waves on the cliffs of destiny, even the infinite ocean can release its captives. So says a long-forgotten passage from the Dolphin Manuscripts, the Holy Scriptures of the Church of Efferd, God of the Sea.

Dark omens. Disappeared persons. Sunken ships. Strange things are happening in time-honoured Bethana, the seat of the church's main temple. But the unsuspecting townspeople are in a celebratory mood: boisterous festivities are taking place in honour of the famous explorer Harika, drawing pilgrims and onlookers from all the ports of the Seven Winds Coast. No one seems to notice the dark storm brewing over the city -- no one except the heroes of this adventure, who must bring light into the darkness where others see only gloomy storm clouds.

These heroes must be equally careful and cunning to connect seemingly unrelated events without getting lost in dark myths from ancient times. In the end, the heroes' salvation is as much at stake as their lives, for it is up to them to sail death-defyingly straight into the eye of the storm.

A DSA group adventure for 3 to 6 intrepid heroes.
