The Opening

“A humble island elder approaches you with a quiet plea. The bandits guarding the sinkhole are a nuisance that must be removed for your journey to continue. If you happen to seize their hidden mountain of gold on the way, the islanders certainly won't complain.”

— Hook · heist

Set the Scene

The humid air of the island clings to your skin as you stand before the jagged Maw, a massive sinkhole that represents your only path into the Underdark. Heavily armed bandits lounge around its perimeter, their presence an insult to the quiet beauty of the surrounding palms.

Elder Ouna

Ouna is a soft-spoken woman who treats the bandits like an annoying weather pattern. She offers the party directions to the bandit cache as an incentive to 'clean the porch' before descending into the depths.

Rumours

d3 · table
  1. 01
    The bandits are hoarding silver stolen from the Queen's tithe ships.
  2. 02
    No one has come back from the sinkhole since the mercenaries arrived.
  3. 03
    The islanders are too scared to fight, but they see everything from the trees.
Stakes

If the party fails, they will be trapped on the island with no route to the Underdark and the Queen's Harbor will be reduced to ash.

Ticking Clock·The bandit main force leaves for the Harbor at sunset: if the party dally, the harbor will be defenseless.

Background Lore

The sinkhole is an ancient geological feature used for generations as a trade route to the Underdark. Recently, a mercenary group called the Iron Sunder has occupied it. The local islanders are peaceful gatherers who avoid conflict but know the island's secret paths perfectly.

What the World Knows

The Iron Sunder bandits are blocking the sinkhole and hoarding stolen wealth. To reach the Underdark, the party must eliminate the guards and is encouraged to loot their secondary stash hidden away from the hole.
