EMDT63: Trail of the Sea Demon

Whispers in the alleys speak of a temple no street leads to…

Trail of the Sea Demon is a 32-page collection of three loosely connected mini-adventures for 3rd to 5th level characters, steeped in mystery, deception, and weird urban fantasy. Set in a shadowy, labyrinthine city, these scenarios explore the hidden paths leading to a forbidden sea cult, its secrets, and the powers it serves.

Originally published in Fight On! magazine and now revised and expanded based on extensive play, this edition features haunting new illustrations by Peter Mullen (cover), Graphite Prime, Jerry Boucher, and Stefan Poag.

Inside, you’ll find:

• The House of Rogat Demazien (37 keyed areas) – The enigmatic sculptor and magician has vanished. His house stands empty in the Beggars’ Quarter… or so it seems. Dare to enter, uncover its secrets, and follow the clues toward a greater mystery.

• Temple of the Sea Demon (19 keyed areas) – Hidden in the folds of the city, a strange and silent temple awaits the curious, the devout, and the doomed. Magical guardians, fanatical priests, and the lurking power of the Sea Demon bar the way to its treasures.

• Shadow Court (20 keyed areas) – Beneath veils of smoke and secrecy, the city’s strangest bazaar offers wonders and lies in equal measure. The merchants here are not what they seem… and an abandoned garden shrine may hold more than forgotten flowers.

Designed to be inserted into any dark fantasy city or used as a modular mystery arc, Trail of the Sea Demon rewards clever investigation, bold risk-taking, and cautious exploration. Its layered, open-ended design is ideal for referees who enjoy unfolding danger and discovery at the players’ pace.
