About the adventure
Pearls and pirates’ gold. A withering coma and a witch below the sea. All these things whirl in your mind like eddies in the bay as you fasten off the rope. You tug and find it taut—good. As you scan the macabre cavern, littered with the bones of ships and mortals, you see your wizard is nearly finished with their ritual. The fighter is putting the last bits of rock and flotsam in place now—okay, the barricade is ready. Ready for what, exactly, remains unclear, but it's ready. You see the artificer give you the thumbs-up from the beached ship's crow's nest. And that glittering red aura around the ship itself? You're just going to have to—"ACTION BEGINS IN FIVE...FOUR..." Gods above. How did you get yourself into this? Seven Tears by the Sea is an adventure from volume III of the critically-acclaimed Uncaged adventure anthology. Every character has a story—even the monsters. Uncaged subverts the tropes of female monsters from real myth and folklore, and re-tells these stories interactively in D&D.

About me
Ladies, gentlemen, and friends from beyond the binary—well met, and a pleasure to meet indeed! As you step inside, do please leave your boots at the door. All settled in? Then come, and picture with me the following… A group of four, clad in the colors of their order and armed with weapons of the Old World. They tread with caution through the decrepit remains of a once-proud public library—best to be wary of the new librarians. Or instead, imagine this—a devil-horned man and an angel-winged woman ready their suppressed handguns, stack up on either side of a door, and nod beneath the flickering fluorescent light. The point of no return is nigh—if the gods won’t act, they’ll handle it themselves. Or picture yet again—pandemonium! The lich-king has won, and skeleton warriors run amok in the streets! There’s no stopping them now—how will you survive? These unique worlds and more await at my table. Players new and experienced alike are welcome—the only requirement is a good attitude!

Creating your character
Characters will be level 5, and completed character sheets should be brought to the game. In-depth backstories are not required for this particular game—a set of traits, ideals, bonds, and flaws ought to be enough, as long as your character is willing to work together with others. A selection of pre-made characters is also available to choose from in Roll20.
