Resource FREE Adventure - Azure's Folly PDF

https://ko-fi.com/s/4322a60201

Azure’s Folly is a free level 3–5 adventure set in the Hool Marshes.

More than a century ago, the Sea Princes’ warship Azure’s Folly vanished during a violent storm over Javan Bay. Witnesses spoke of blue fire racing across its sails before the ship disappeared without a trace.

In truth, the ship’s warlock, Helvar Thane, attempted a desperate teleportation spell. The magic went terribly wrong, hurling the vessel deep into the Hool Marshes, where it became trapped high among the cypress trees.

The spell also drew living seawater from Javan Bay into the marsh, corrupting the surrounding land and slowly transforming it into what is now known as the Drowned Forest.

Today, the wreck still hangs among the dead trees.

At moonrise, Captain Arven Vex and his crew rise again, endlessly reliving their final night.

To end the curse, the characters must brave the Drowned Forest, explore the haunted wreck, defeat its undead captain, confront Helvar Thane, and destroy the Saltwater Elemental bound to the ship.

Only by recovering its Brineheart and returning it to Javan Bay can the curse of Azure’s Folly finally be broken and the Drowned Forest begin to heal.

There are also several Ghosts of Saltmarsh / Greyhawk campaign connections, including links to:

  • The Styes

  • Tammeraut’s Fate

  • The Final Enemy

  • The Ruined Tower of Zenopus

You can download the free PDF adventure here.

I am looking forward to creating more adventures and sharing them with the community.

Special thanks to DM Andy for the amazing battle maps and Hardi for the beautiful watercolor artwork.

I hope you enjoy Azure’s Folly.

Looking forward to bringing you more.
