P1. South Shore

Four Sahuagin emerge from the water to pursue two shark hunters. If the characters don’t interfere, the shark hunters are handily skewered and killed by the Sahuagin.

Shark Hunters

The two shark hunters are reckless human teenagers—a female half-elf named Elanza and a male tiefling named Joao. Elanza fears that the entire village will sink into the sea, and she urges the characters to accompany her to the ships on the eastern shore and escape. Joao is obsessed with glory. If he survives this encounter, he heads for the north shore to keep fighting unless a character can convince him to flee to safety with a successful DC 10 Charisma (Persuasion) check.

Developments

After this encounter, an aftershock rocks the village. Any character who succeeds on a DC 10 Wisdom (Perception) check confirms that Palma Flora is sinking. Every 10 minutes from this point forward, the size of the island shrinks by 5 feet on all sides as it is slowly submerged in the ocean.

Where to Next?

From here, the characters can travel to the east, west, or north side of Palma Flora. Any character who looks toward the other parts of the village in an attempt to understand what’s happening must make a DC 10 Wisdom (Perception) check. On a failure, the character sees only fleeing people and hears only screams. On a success, tell that character the following information, based on where they’re looking: East Shore. The village docks are here, and several ships are already sailing away. One group of sailors is battling sahuagin as they try to board the last vessel still docked. West Shore. The village is sinking most quickly here, and several beachside houses are already half submerged. The villagers and the Sahuagin are all headed toward the north shore. North Shore. Desperate villagers are trying to swim to the north part of the village on the mainland. A 50-foot-wide channel separates the two parts of the village after the earthquake splintered the bridge. If the characters don’t intervene, the villagers become easy pickings for the Sahuagin

and sharks.
