CCC-DES-02-03 Those Who Eat
Finding themselves on a foggy bank alongside the Moonsea¸ the adventurers must dive into sunken ruins to save six innocent children from the God Who Eats. A Two-Hour Adventure for Tier 1 Characters. Optimized for APL 3. Enjoy hellish horror¸ inspired by "Out of the Abyss" and the Season 3 Adventurers League adventures¸ along with some of your favorite scary movies. This is the third in a three-part storyline¸ debuting at the 2019 D8 Summit Charity Convention. A Word of Caution The "Children of Sin" adventures deal with dark themes and ideas. Among them are children that are literally children of a demon lord¸ kidnapping¸ evil dolls (but not clowns)¸ cannibalistic sea creatures¸ dark shark gods¸ the fear of drowning¸ a feeling of despair¸ and even thinly veiled mind control and off-scene murder at the end of the series. These are horrible things that could fit easily among "Curse of Strahd" and Season 4 Adventurers League adventures set in Barovia. Some gamers will be okay with horrible things¸ and eat it up. Some will not. As a DM¸ you may and indeed MUST tone down the themes of the adventures based on your audience. Before starting¸ it is a smart idea to ask your players how comfortable they are with common horror tropes¸ as well as if certain topics are a no-go. Don't take this adventure (or any adventure you run) past their limits. As a DM¸ you are a player too and shouldn't take it past your limits either. You are empowered to change situations in the adventure as long as the end result is the same. Now¸ get out there and scare some people!
