About the adventure
Gilded bodies wash upon Saltmarsh's shores, leaving the fishing town awash in rumors. Many pointed towards the abandoned alchemist's house on the hill. Andors Solmor, a young merchant, has hired you to put the rumors down and boost his own political career. --- About the One-Shot --- An adaptation of The Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh into an introductory adventure for level 2 characters. In it, players delve into the decrepit Alchemists House, long rumored to be haunted by its former owner. However, in doing so, they find so much more.

How to prepare
To participate in the game, you will need to: - Join the Roll20 game (accounts are free), - Join the Discord Server (accounts are free), - Have a serviceable microphone, - Have a headset or quiet space (i.e. no background noise please), - And an internet connection capable of running all the above simultaneously.
What I provide
I bring a tested and well-rehearsed module, play aids, all relevant PDFs, and experience teaching RPGs.
Gameplay details
As part of onboarding for the game, I send players my Line & Veils and ask for theirs in return. Which are then confirmed at the beginning of the session as part of a mini-session 0. During the game, if anything disturbs you, please tell me, leave an "X" in the chat, or privately message me. I will then remove the offending or skip past it. Likewise, if you feel the adventure is going in an unsavory direction but use an "N" instead. I will also check in if I notice anything is off.
