Shipwreck at Har’s Point (2019)

This is the first Dungeon Delve Side Quest, Shipwreck at Har’s Point (2019), a loving homage to the spirit of the U-series modules. Seaside town? Check. Sahuagin? Check. Plot? Well, actually, now that you mention it, despite the other Dungeon Delve modules having minimal plot, this one is primarily plot. It is pretty good, though very basic, and, considering I am pretty ambivalent about the U-series modules, I think that is saying something.

Most of the space is devoted to describing the town and its environs, as well as a key underwater cave. Basically, Sahuagin have lost a crown, a selkie found it and a whole lot of people are going to die if things don’t get straightened out. The plot is progressed through five timed events, the end of which the party will either be victorious or defeated. Even in victory, though, there are no clear winners and the problem at the crux of the adventure is unlikely to be resolved with any sense of permanence.

A nice little scenario, short and sweet but with lasting implications.
