The Hook
Portmaster Yveline Cray of Salthollow hires the party for a simple relief run: sail out to the Last Light on the Widow's Spine, spell the keeper, restock his larder, and bring back the logbook for the Harbor Guild's insurers. Three ships have limped into port this month under full sail with not a soul aboard — no blood, no wreckage, no ransom notes, just empty decks and cold breakfasts. The lighthouse has never gone dark in a hundred years. Cray needs someone to find out why it's started taking payment for staying lit — and she has a reason of her own she isn't saying out loud yet.
🎭 The rest of this tale is the Dungeon Master's secret. You'll live it at the table.
