The Contaminated Catch

The humid air is thick with mist as you walk along the docks. The voices of merchants ring out from all directions as they try to entice visitors to their stalls and carts.

Description

You come upon a stall piled high with fish from today’s catch and find a woman sitting on the ground in tears. On a table beside her are several huge fish, covered in a strange blue chemical.

Adventure Hook

The Trigger: While walking along the lower docks, the party witnesses a local fishmonger named Marra sitting on the ground crying. Several massive, metallic-scaled fish are laid out on a table at her market stall, their gills leaking a thick blue chemical sludge.

  • The Objective: Marra begs the party to figure out where the chemical came from before the entire bay’s ecosystem is poisoned. The party must investigate the source by following traces of the chemical through the sewers. This will lead them to a corrupt factory whose overseer is illegally dumping concentrated alchemical waste to avoid The Cobalt Crown’s disposal taxes.
  • REWARDShe gifts the party her family’s Siren-Bone Charm talisman, which allows the wearer to cast purify food and drink to completely neutralize toxins or pollution in a 5-foot radius. The item can be used twice per day.
