A Stolen Sun

An underground ocean, a city of vices, and a temple lost to darkness.

A Stolen Sun takes inspiration from the game Sunless Sea while setting players off on a traditional D&D adventure. Delving into the Underdark you’ll learn about the Torach-El, an underground ocean that’s teeming with pirates and sea monsters. 

Tasked with finding an ancient lost temple the characters will fight against encroaching terror. There is a mix of social exploration, combat, and roleplay choices to resist terror which is slowly driving your character mad. With the small chance of a character losing their mind at the end of the adventure and failing to return from the Underdark.

This is an adventure built around high-risk high reward choices. Players will often have a chance to take on a voluntary penalty for a bonus in hopes of it paying off later. This adventure also introduces an optional mechanic called Terror Checks. A gameplay mechanic meant to simulate the oppressive nature of being underground for extended periods of time by adding light mechanical and RP limitation on a character.

There are suggestions for scaling up or down combat encounters for more or fewer players and also openings to tie the module into larger campaigns.
