What you have here is the highly polished result of a graduate of the RPG Summer Workshop 2020. As a participant myself, I didn't make it to the publishing stage, so I have a lot of respect for anyone who does.
The production quality of this work has achieved a high standard with a striking cover, while inside clear headings guide you through the sections. The writing is crisp and concise. The main points are clearly communicated in plain language.
The storyline captures an exciting moment in crime fighting, as two heroes come face to face with their deadliest foe yet. The adventurers are called in to help out and that's where things start to go wrong for the whole plan.
It's a nautical adventure, so there are jobs the adventurers will need to complete while on deck.
The adventure starts in a ... (you guessed it) tavern, then leads to the ship where it's all aboard "The Silence" for a journey across the Sea of Swords. As the ship herself struggles to survive the trials of adventure, there's sailor-type actions for the characters to take in this moment of desperation.
Later in the story (Chapter 3), the adventurers are faced with a completely new challenge. A series of obstacles and conflicts stand in between them and survival. The story ends with a promise of more adventure.
Four colourful maps are included with the purchase, making the adventure easy to implement online. It's designed for character levels 5-10 and you should allow for four hours. The expectations to complete the adventure within good time look achievable.
I hope that this item does get included in one of the the RPG Workshop bundles, as it would make a worthy addition.
