What it is about
The prison ships that skulk in the dark and cloudy waters around the coast of Cha-Kiri Isle squat like great loathsome toads, malevolent and foreboding. They are shunned by all: sailors, fishermen, and adventurers alike. These vessels were constructed for just one purpose, that of keeping the most hardened criminals and cruel villains imprisoned and away from society, with little or no chance of escape.
Of these hulks, one is larger than all the rest, darker and more menacing to the eye. This ship is called simply Watcher, and within its dun hull many fearsome murderers are held in iron cages. However, things upon Watcher have taken a turn for the worse. Prisoners are dying hideously; strange events are driving men mad beneath its bloodstained decks. And to make matters worse, Obidiah Drake, Watcher’s most notorious prisoner, is missing. Your adventure awaits.....
This is a solitaire adventure for Tunnels & TrollsTM, designed using the 5th Edition rules, though it can be played perfectly well with newer versions. Your character must be no greater than fourth level, with a maximum of 60 personal combat adds. Be warned that the adventure will be tough and likely prove fatal for total novices, although there is always a chance that they will succeed. You may use a dwarf, human, elf, or hobbit. No monster-types are allowed, and fairies and leprechauns are just not suitable for the demands that this adventure places upon the hero. Dwarves may fare better because of their great strength, hardiness, and their strong constitution
