The Calming Beach

The Calming Beach is a quite park in a small tropical village. A quite place away from the hustle and bustle of the growing number of traders that pass through the village it has offered a refuge for those who need to relax, or think more clearly. With soft light peach sand and waters kept calm by a sheltering reef it was always a favorite place for the villagers to swim.

            Recently however terrible things have started happening at the beach, seven people have gone missing on separate occasions, with their bodies, or what is left of them washing up on the shores some time later. Fear has taken hold of the residents of the village and rumors persist that one of the villagers who disappeared into the waves in anger has come back to haunt and drag more down to here fate.

            The villagers need someone to find out the truth of the matter, and to end the curse on their beach if at all possible.

            The village shaman will provide them with potions of water breathing. In addition they will be given pearls worth some 1,500 GP for ending the curse on the beach.

What’s Happening

            The villagers are correct in their assumption that the person responsible is a former villager; she is in fact a Sea Hag, who as with other hags once appeared human and was raised by them. However as time went on she began to take on her horrid appearance and to grow spiteful. She started to hate those around her and eventually fled into the ocean because she could no longer stand to be around them.

            Yet the pull of this beach that had comforted her for so long was too great for her to ignore. As was the opportunity to take revenge on the villagers for imagined wrongs. So she has taken up shelter her and has started to gather around her a band of lone sea devils, sharks, and sea ogres, with the intention of eventually driving all humans from the village.

 The Beach

            Just above the beach grows a giant grove of well placed palm trees and tropical flowers, who’s smell carried on the cool sea breeze seems to calm any anxiety that the PC’s have. Watching them hidden among the trees a group of sea devils wait hoping to ambush them from behind, in conjunction with the ogres and sharks who are waiting in the shallow pool. Should the PC’s spot them however they will attack quickly with nets and bolts before attempting to flee into the water.

The Beach has been over run with pink flowers and sand crabs as very little has walked on it over the to last month or so. The PC’s however can see the tracks of the Sea Devils as will as a path used by the hag on her nightly walks. This path stands out as it is used constantly, and it will lead into the water.

If the PC’s decide to enter the water, they will be attacked by the shark and 4 sea ogres while the sea devils attempt to keep them in the water. Should the PC’s have already killed of the sea devils the ogres will wait until the PC’s are far enough in the water for the shark to get in behind them.

If the PC’s have not killed the Sea Devils these will attack them from behind to keep them in the water and at a disadvantage.
