Arc Dream Presents: Swords & Sorceries Actual Play: Hearts of Iron, Episode 4 – The Sea Demon’s Gold

Previously: Episode Three

In The Sea Demon’s Gold, the adventurers journey through a deadly storm to the isle of the Sea Demon, where rumors say a forgotten temple holds riches. They find the island rising like a living thing from the sea, surrounded by and filled with dangers. 

Session Four is the finale of The Sea Demon’s Gold. The adventurers reach the haunted heart of the island and face curses and deadly dangers.

This  5E campaign brings together Shane Ivey from Arc Dream Publishing, Mark Finn from the Monty Haul zine, Chris Spivey from Darker Hue Studios, and Aser and Megan Tolentino from The Redacted Files.

Shane, the Dungeon Master, introduces the Heart of Iron, a trading ship from the crumbling, devil-haunted city-state of Zyirra. Among its crew are four adventurers: 

  • Baldo Vandalerius (Mark), Zyirran human rogue with a heart of gold, or at least electrum
  • Thalus Longbarrow (Chris), a wood-elf ranger from the wilds near Zyirra
  • Ki (Megan), a scheming and ruthless dwarf from far Iskutai, a priestess of the underworld goddess Sahayaak
  • Astartus (Aser), a Zyirran human fighter with a broad shield and a heavy hand

We use the Roll20 module for The Sea Demon’s Gold, which you can see in action in the video. The Sea Demon’s Gold is also available in PDF and full-color paperback.
