The Bell That Rang Beneath the Tide
A Short Adventure for Tales of Khassid

A tide-bell rings at the wrong hour.

A harbor clerk is trapped beneath a collapsed warehouse.

And somewhere in the Harbor Wards, twelve stolen memorial tablets are already moving toward the water.

The Bell That Rang Beneath the Tide is a ready-to-run adventure for 1st-level characters, designed for 3–6 players and playable in one long session or two shorter sessions. It takes place in Morgdhav City on Athos, in the Morgdhavian Archipelago.

What begins as a rescue quickly becomes an urban investigation. The characters uncover falsified transfer records, question frightened witnesses, follow a stolen crate through the Harbor Wards, and discover that the missing cargo is far more important than anyone first realized.

The adventure is built around investigation, social interaction, environmental problem-solving, sacred memory, and light combat, with multiple ways to follow the trail and resolve the final confrontation.

Inside you’ll find:

• a complete three-part adventure
• multiple adventure hooks
• detailed NPCs and locations
• rescue and investigation mechanics
• multiple investigative routes
• scaling guidance
• stat blocks
• player handouts
• GM keys
• magic items
• hooks for continuing the campaign

The adventure is structured so failed checks create complications rather than dead ends, and characters can approach problems through law, faith, stealth, persuasion, scholarship, pursuit, negotiation, or force.

Characters who bring the adventure to a meaningful conclusion are expected to advance to 2nd level, with milestone advancement recommended.

Recommended Level: 1st
Party Size: 3–6 characters
Expected Length: One long session or two shorter sessions
Location: Morgdhav City, Athos
Adventure Style: Urban mystery, investigation, social play, sacred memory, light combat
