GM: Andrew Jackson
Players: 3-5Description
Dragonbane RPG - The sea wind howls and the smell of seaweed and decay stings your noses. You pull your cloaks tighter around you as the rowboat cuts through the restless sea towards your destination. Then the fog clears to reveal the sinking tower rising from the water. This is the moment you have all been waiting for, the day when the enchanted stone tower said to have been built by a mad mage rises from the sea once more. It only happens once every twenty years, according to the fishermen around the inn’s warming hearth, and only stays above water for two hours. Then it sinks back into the deep along with its treasures. There is a ghostly green light glowing ominously at the top of the tower. That is where the sorcerer’s emerald is said to be. Perhaps you will be the ones to claim it?
