<h2>THE LIGHTHOUSE ON THE CLIFF</h2>
|
||
<p>
|
||
At the top of a cliff overlooking the sea, hidden by thick vegetation, is
|
||
an old disused lighthouse—a picturesque and oft-forgotten sight.
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<!-- Crab Cave Hook -->
|
||
<div class="hook-detail">
|
||
<strong>Crab cave.</strong>
|
||
<p>
|
||
A partially submerged cave leads directly into the cliff. Giant crabs
|
||
with strange carvings on their carapaces have taken refuge from the
|
||
currents here. They aren’t aggressive, but react if someone attacks or
|
||
gets too close. What is the meaning of those carvings? Has one of the
|
||
PCs ever seen something similar?
|
||
</p>

|
||
|
||
<!-- Lighthouse Building Hook -->
|
||
<div class="hook-detail">
|
||
<strong>The lighthouse.</strong>
|
||
<p>
|
||
This ancient building rises atop the cliff. Completely covered in
|
||
creeping vines, it lies forgotten in this remote part of the promontory.
|
||
It dates back to ancient times—perhaps it was built by the ancestors of
|
||
the bay’s current residents. The lantern found at the top is decorated
|
||
with strange paintings and frescoes, depicting a flaming bird. Who built
|
||
the lighthouse? What was its original purpose?
|
||
</p>
|
||
</div>
|
||
|
||
<!-- Golden Egg Hook -->
|
||
<div class="hook-detail">
|
||
<strong>Golden egg.</strong>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Resting on the old lantern’s base, this object is craved by researchers
|
||
and smugglers. Nobody knows who the real owner is, nor how it came to be
|
||
here, and none has been brave enough to move it. Gathering enough
|
||
evidence, the Player Characters may discover that the tower was the nest
|
||
of an ancient creature who used the lantern’s light as a waypoint to
|
||
return home, but that fire has been out for a long time. What kind of
|
||
egg is it? Where is the mother?
|
||
</p>

||

|
||
|
||
<!-- Pirate King Hook -->
|
||
<div class="hook-detail">
|
||
<strong>Curlybeard, the self-proclaimed Pirate King.</strong>
|
||
<p>
|
||
While inside the lantern room, an old sea dog looking for the egg (see
|
||
above) attacks the PCs. He fights with an old pistol and a rusty
|
||
cutlass, which can inflict weak. When he enters Crisis, the pirate grabs
|
||
the egg and attempts to escape (a 4 section Clock, with one section
|
||
automatically filled at the end of each round). As the singed beard
|
||
might suggest, the pirate is
|
||
<strong style="color: red">Vulnerable</strong> to fire damage, but
|
||
<strong style="color: green">Resistant</strong> to ice and air. During
|
||
the fight, the PCs feel the earth shake and the cries of a strange
|
||
creature getting closer each round—perhaps the mother is coming back to
|
||
protect the egg? If so, would she unleash her fury only upon Curlybeard?
|
||
Or the protagonists as well?
