About the adventure
⚓ The Coast in Peril The Sword Coast burns. Pirates plunder its harbors, sea devils drag sailors beneath the waves, and whole towns vanish in midnight raids. The city-states rally their defenses, but the tide of chaos grows stronger every day. 🌊 A Strange Wreck Far north on Gundarlun, a vessel unlike any ship known to Faerûn has crash-landed on the rocky shores. Survivors speak of strange technologies and horrors lurking within its shattered hull. Few believe them—fewer still dare to investigate. 🐚 What Lurks Below Yet the timing cannot be coincidence. From the depths of the Trackless Sea come whispers of mutant horrors, unseen armies, and an intelligence older than the gods themselves. To uncover the truth, heroes must brave both pirate blades and unfathomable mysteries. This campaign blends high-seas swashbuckling with deep mystery. Will you chart the waves as defenders of the Sword Coast, unearthing the truth behind the fallen vessel? Or will you sink into the ocean’s grasp, another secret lost to the dark?

About me
Hello there, adventurers! My name is Michelle and I have over a decade of TTRPG experience and multiple years as a Pro-GM. Tabletop gaming is a passion of mine, and I use it to lead players and their characters through unforgettable journeys. Outside of tabletop I enjoy gaming, going on walks with my dog, playing with my cat, reading, and spending time with my partner!

Creating your character
Characters will be created collectively during session 0! I can provide pre-made characters if you prefer not to craft your own. I can also help create characters after session 0. We will also delve into discussions about how the group is interconnected, character aspirations, group goals, and player and GM expectations. I will be addressing any questions related to lore, background, etc.
What to expect
Preparing for the session

You must have a stable internet connection, as well as a PC or laptop capable of running FoundryVTT.
