The Savage Tide Adventure Path - [Dungeon Magazine
Spoilers!]
When your player characters defeat the Wormgod Kyuss at the pulse-pounding
conclusion of the Age of Worms Adventure Path in this very issue, they will have
rescued the world itself from an unspeakable danger. They end the campaign as
sovereigns of their own nation, inheriting the problems of a kingdom beset on all sides
by political and military challenges. From their posh palace chambers in Alhaster
they'll look out with a mixture of pride and melancholy at the waters of the Lake of
Unknown Depths, remembering the simplicity of their humble beginnings. Chances
are strong your players will be looking for new challenges too.

In four short months DUNGEON comes to the rescue with the Savage Tide
Adventure Path, a 12-installment campaign designed to take characters from the
heady days of first level all the way to the responsibilities of level 20. Running every
month from issue #139 to the milestone DUNGEON #150, the Savage Tide takes
players on an ocean voyage that begins in the fecund southern jungles and leads deep
into the heart of the treacherous Lower Planes.

The action begins in the port city of Sasserine, where canny merchant princes exploit
the natural wonder of a vast jungle at the very edge of civilization. There, the PCs find
themselves in the employ of Lavinia Vanderborn, a young noble who has just
inherited her family estate and colonial holdings after the tragic death of her parents.
Her younger brother, Vanthus, has fallen in with a bad crowd, and after stealing an
unusual black pearl from the trove of a pirate stronghold, he flees to the family's
holdings on a distant tropical island - the Isle of Dread. Following Vanthus across the
uncharted southern seas leads the PCs to the dinosaur-ridden island, where they
discover that similar strange pearls have been placed in cities throughout the world.
When the order is given, these pearls will discharge a massive burst of dehumanizing
energy - the Savage Tide - that will turn ordinary citizens into cannibalistic savages.

Exploration of the treacherous Isle of Dread and the mysterious plateau at its center
represent a major portion of the campaign, but the PCs will have little time to grow
complacent, as pirates and the treacherous Vanthus harry the Vanderboren colony. An
attempt to stop the pirates leads to Scuttlecove, a scurvy town of buccaneers, yuan-ti,
and worse. The PCs thwart the menace of the pirate fleet, only to discover that
Vanthus has kidnapped his sister and taken her to the Abyssal realm of his patron,
Demogorgon, Prince of Demons and architect of the Savage Tide. By unleashing
waves of madness and rage throughout the Material Plane, Demogorgon hopes to
reconcile the feuding personalities of his two heads and increase his standing in the
Great Wheel. To defeat the most powerful of demon princes, the PCs must negotiate a
planar conspiracy aimed at weakening him in his own lair and destroying him once
and for all.

An all-star array of our favorite game designers and DUNGEON contributors are
already hard at work on the adventures. Managing Editor James Jacobs, author of last
issue's "Into the Wormcrawl Fissure" and the silent puppetmaster behind most
DUNGEON adventures, will contribute the first installment, "There is No Honor," in
DUNGEON #139. That issue also comes with a poster map of Sasserine and a
backdrop describing the locale in detail, the first of several to come throughout the
series. James's adventure will be followed by installments from Nicolas Logue,
Richard Pett, Jason Bulmahn, Stephen S. Greer & Gary Holian, F. Wesley Schneider
& James Sutter, Tito Leati, Keith Baker, Sean K Reynolds, Eric L. Boyd, Wolfgang
Baur, and Greg A. Vaughn. As with the Age of Worms, a companion series of articles
aimed at players will appear in the pages of DRAGON, and lively discussion will take
place on paizo.com. In fact, by the time you get this, a new Savage Tide message
board is already in operation.

After defeating Kyuss and the Age of Worms, you and your players have earned a few
months off. But don't get too comfortable. The Savage Tide is just around the corner!

Summary of previous eleven adventures: Ally NPCs: Beyond the Savage Tide AP

The Savage Tide Adventure Path (or simply Savage Tide) is the third Adventure Path for the Dungeons &
Dragons role-playing game, published over twelve installments from October 2006 through September 2007
in Dungeon magazine. It begins in the city of Sasserine, just north of the city of Cauldron, which serves as the setting for
the first Adventure Path, Shackled City.

Story[edit]
From the June 2006 promotional announcement in Dungeon Adventures:
[T]he Savage Tide Adventure Path [is] a 12-installment campaign designed to take characters from the heady days of
first level all the way to the responsibilities of level 20. Running every month from issue #139 to the
milestone Dungeon #150, the Savage Tide takes players on an ocean voyage that begins in the fecund southern
jungles and leads deep into the heart of the treacherous Lower Planes.[1]
Setting[edit]
The story nominally takes place in the Greyhawk campaign setting, but is designed to be easily adapted to any of the
other Dungeons & Dragons settings such as Forgotten Realms or Eberron. Much of the action is staged on the Isle of
Dread, and Dungeon editor Erik Mona stated that, partially because of this, the campaign would contain a number
of Mystara references, including specific monsters which had not previously appeared in the then-current edition
of Dungeons & Dragons.[citation needed]

Summary[edit]
The campaign begins in the city of Sasserine and nearby environs, where the party discovers the first clues about an
impending disaster called the Savage Tide. The action then moves to the Isle of Dread for the middle portion of the
series, and the party must deal with the dangers of the island and unearth more information about the Savage Tide.
After a short stop in the depraved pirate city of Scuttlecove, the final third of the campaign takes place in the Abyss,
where the party must find a way to stop the Savage Tide and confront its architect.
The Savage Tide Adventure Path consists of the following installments:

Tragedy Strikes the Islarn Family. Again

In the second time in less than a decade, a tragedy befalls the scions of House Islarn. The Sea Witch's Rag
reported last week about the mysterious disappearance of Lorn Islarn and his abandoned post on Far Light Island. Unfortu-
nately the young noble did not turn up in the bed of a local beauty but instead it appears Lorn was murdered. It is unclear if the
murder happened at the island or if Lorn was kidnapped first.

According to one eyewitness, a trapper from the western Jekela Bay, the body washed up on the rocks there three days ago.
The same eyewitness, a simple man, traveled to the city to claimed the reward and exclaimed, 'I did not reckon the man for fa-
mous but I gladly accept the gold. I was just doing right by the dead, as my ma and pa always taught' The young man was ac-
companied throughout the day by a merchant contact he met during customs processing. The pair met a third un-named indi-
vidual and suspiciously booked passage on a whaling ship that evening. Exclusive information obtained by the Rag confirms the
trappers story as well as exonerates he and his friend, apparently Lorn died from several deep puncture wounds. A represen-
tative of the Dawn Council assures the Rag that they are thoroughly investigating the matter and will relentlessly pursue any
leads.

Lorn Islarn will be buried at sea following a sun rise ceremony on 41 Newsummer at the Azure Cathedral. A spokesman for the
Islarn family asks that people with information about the murder of their only son speak with representatives of the family and
the Dawn Council.

the Rhogedassu is a large insect that captures prey with its hook like fore claws and drags the unfortu-
nates to a large set of opposing mandibles. The creature is best left alone.

In related news the Dawn Council is considering legislation that would ban dangerous exotic animals
from the city limits. Merchant houses, specifically representatives of the Kato Mercantile House, op-
pose the legislation and claim that making the animals illegal would only create an illegal black market and
that the exotic animal trade brings business to the city and entertainment to the Champion's District
Arena.
