Important Note

This adventure heavily leans into dungeoncrawling with a bit of investigation. If the combat encounters occur they happen to be on the deadlier side. The party will need to be lucrative and not straightforward to succeed at the task. Time is limited for resolving the adventure as the party may not have enough time to investigate every location or hook before events overtake them.

Description

The Bruidchan of the Nine Hosts stands upon a lonely stone islet off the south-eastern coast of Prydonia. It offers fire, shelter, and protection to travellers sailing between Ardachan and Aethelund. Its ancient law of hospitality has been honoured for generations.

It was ,however, viloated just three days ago as a pilgrim was found torn apart beneath the sanctuary walls. Another disappeared venturing into the cliffs and last night, something or someone, dragged a boatman into the darkness, leaving behind trail of flesh and blood.

A heroic party has previously explored the island and uncovered the ruins at the centre of it to be an old magical vestige-prison. Whatever it prtects and how to deal with it remains unresolved. Lahad, Lord Mayor of Polis, has put a substantial reward offer for anyone to delievers the realm from this evil.
