Chaos at the Coral Court
🕑 Added 2020-12-01 18:22:16 +0000 UTCHey everyone!
We've got a brilliant new collaboration for you from Humperdink's Wares, Papermage and Loot Tavern. The collaboration uses our Coral Throne map and provides a lot of nautical content.
Within a secluded reef beneath tropical skies lies an ancient palace. In its vast and colourful throne room, the Shark Queen holds court. She is on the brink of re-uniting the oceans' most fearsome foes, the sahuagin, sharkin, and cnidarans, into the Hunter's Conclave.
If she isn't stopped, trade routes will be strangled, city states starved, and island communities cut off from the mainland. The seas will be theirs. You must kill the Shark Queen.
What's in the Box?
A deadly one shot, 10 new monsters (with tokens), 8 illustrated items, 7 original spells, printable paper minis, a new race, a new feat, and a hand drawn map! Read on below.
A Bloody Battle Awaits
This one-shot isn't some evening dip in the jacuzzi. This is a sanguine, three-wave battle designed to seriously test your party's mettle. This is a boss battle playable at three different levels; 5th, 9th, or 14th. Fair warning, if you're worried your squishy wizard has Leeroy Jenkins syndrome and is just gonna rush straight in, run it when you party is a level higher.
There's lore galore and plot hooks aplenty for if you're wanting to write this into your campaign. Plus there are new lair and villain actions to inspire your own boss battles, as well as optional rules for underwater combat and breath holding.
Monsters
All-new monster art with custom token frames by Loot Tavern. Take on the Shark Queen with her mythic actions!

Paper Minis
For your print and play pleasure, Paper Mage has provided sahuagin and eelshark printable minis and VTT tokens - plus some more sea-inspired characters!.

Treasure!
You won't leave the Coral Court empty handed with eight fully illustrated magic items. What's more, Loot Tavern is providing the printable tarot cards with item mechanics.

Spells
Some you might've seen around on Humperdink's Wares before, but there's some new ones such as blood frenzy, riptide, and the bends.
Player Options
Sharkin are an honourable and loyal race that make their home on the border of land and sea. However, honour and loyalty does not preclude brutality; sharkin will often engage in bloody one on one duels - whawhai - to establish their rank within the tribe’s hierarchy.

Maps
Last, but by no means least, professional-level cartography from the deft and talented Cze and Peku (that's us!).

So, I notice the Sharkin PC race does not have a normal walking speed listed, only a swimming speed. Does this indicate they cannot walk, or is it just a mistakenly forgotten notation?
Charlie Flickinger
Perfect! I'm still having trouble with the map download pack. Nothing in the $5 folder is loading.
Cze and Peku
There's a standard version for all patrons and an extended version for $5+ patrons with extra content.
Cze and Peku
Links have been updated, try the link and not the attachment and it should be there.
Cze and Peku
I've updated the download links, please try it again Charlie.
Cze and Peku
Hey everyone, please try downloading again, hopefully that'll have fixed the issues, both with .7zip and with the file names! :)
Cze and Peku
Hey everyone, file names have been updated as well as links. Sorry for any confusion caused!

I am not able to open the main adventure PDF - both version give an error, even on redownload. Update: Figured out the issue. The long folder and files names was giving Adobe Acrobat some issues. Shortening them fixed the problem.
I am not seeing the item cards for a couple of the magic items, namely the Helm and seashell weapons. I love the flavor of the adventure and look forward to running it

I'm also having a problem opening the files after extraction. Using 7zip to extract it, the files appear in a folder as a file type I can't open
Troy Robinson
Even after using 7 Zip to extract, it says "Problem Opening File - Access Denied." -_-

I think they may be available from the other creators for patrons. It looks like some of them have additional "patron only" related posts, kind of how the map (coral palace) is free but the variants are not. This release version is basically promo material. But that's just my best guess.
Gaëtan Perrault
This is a super cool idea. I grabbed all of the files, but I can't find the monster tokens you highlighted. There are definitely paper token minis, but there seems to be a disconnect between the minis and the tokens and the creatures in the adventure.
Gaëtan Perrault
Yep, the Humperdinck's file names are extremely long. Using Windows zip extraction fails. Please check out 7zip for an alternative that will work. https://www.7-zip.org/
Where are the mushroom ladies tokens and stat blocks?

It worked using 7-zip, but the utility that comes with Windows (right-click > Extract All...) gives me the "file name too long" error.
Charlie Flickinger
i can't find the VTT tokens for the Shark Queen or any of the ones made by loot tavern...
Ben Dimick
Worked fine for me. Suggest redownloading the file.
Rin
Noticed a minor issue with the humperdink's wares? Doesn't properly extract from a zip file due to the file name being too long- not sure if I'm just missing a simple fix?
