In this adventure¸ the coastal village of Fair Haven needs the characters' help. For decades¸ Fair Haven has relied upon its lighthouse to guide merchant vessels into port. But on a recent stormy night¸ the lighthouse suddenly failed. The trading ship Nymph's Kiss was dashed on the rocks¸ and smugglers have already raided the wreck. Somebody has to restore the lighthouse¸ but the locals are afraid to go near because it shows all the signs of being haunted. Yet there might be more to the story¸ since there's something living in the sea caves below...
An adventure for character levels 5-7
Remember the good old days¸ when adventures were underground¸ NPCs were there to be killed¸ and the finale of every dungeon was the dragon on the 20th level? Those days are back. Dungeon Crawl Classics don't waste your time with long-winded speeches¸ weird campaign settings¸ or NPCs who aren't meant to be killed. Each adventure is 100% good¸ solid dungeon crawl¸ with the monsters you know¸ the traps you fear¸ and the secret doors you know are there somewhere.
