Ship of Horror

For 4-6 Players, Levels 8-10:

Horrible hauntings, cruel curses, dark secrets...this is no pleasure cruise!

The mists of Ravenloft know no boundaries and observe no rules.

One way or another, they always get what they want — this time with some help from a cursed captain and his ship.

Player characters boarding an innocent-looking ship will soon find themselves aboard a haunted vessel, destined for an island inhabited by a new form of undead creatures.

But that's not the end of the horror — an evil necromancer lies at the root of the evil on the island.

The battle isn't over until he's been defeated!

Ship of Horror is an adventure set in Ravenloft with two beginnings: one for PCs already in Ravenloft, and one for DMs looking for a way to push his PCs into Ravenloft from other worlds. The adventure includes three new monsters, new spells, and several handouts ready for distribution to players.

This is the 4th module in the Grand Conjuction Series.

Here are the other modules in the Grand Conjuction Series, listed in the order of play:

Night of the Walking Dead — Levels 1-3

Touch of Death — Levels 3-5

Feast of Goblyns — Levels 4-7

Ship of Horror — Levels 8-10

From the Shadows — Levels 9-12

Roots of Evil — Levels 9-12

It should be noted, that many Dungeon Masters have noticed that if they run the adventures in the order written, they end up needing PCs of level 8-10 for the second sign of the Hexad, yet PCs of level 3-5 for the third sign of the Hexad (etc.).

The solution to this continuity problem is to simply change the order of the hexad to suit the levels.

Just change the order of the Hexad Verses to match this, (in the order the game modules are listed above), and you will be able to run a Grand Conjunction Campaign without this problem.

It should be noted that the Hexad and notion of the Grand Conjunction was started after the first few modules had already been published and the prophecy was retroactively applied to those.
