The map of Saltmarsh from the Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh
Adrian's map of the area surrounding Saltmarsh, routinely updated to include locations visited

Nestled on the coast of the Azure Sea lies the town of Saltmarsh, a fishing village where intrigue and adventure await those clever enough to see past its apparent normalcy. Restless spirits, twisted forests, mysteries out of the past, and a deadly threat in the deeps place Saltmarsh and its denizens on the precipice of destruction, while political tensions and secret conspiracies threaten from within.

"Mélodie", the Siren of Saltmarsh

Heroes must arise to answer grave threats, forge timely alliances, uncover hidden secrets, and claim long-forgotten treasures. Along the way, they might just become best fantasy friends forever!

Based on the Ghosts of Saltmarsh adventure for 5th Edition Dungeons & Dragons from Wizards of the Coast

What remains of the haunted house's mysterious owner finally reveals itself: a skeletal alchemist speaking a strange form of Common.

When the five (not counting familiars) haunt hunters find out there are very living sources of the sounds and lights coming from the alchemist's house, they'll have to escape the smugglers' wrath if they want to make it back to Saltmarsh alive! Echo's kill count keeps growing and Magnus tanks it to the limit as the Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh grows less and less mysterious, after all.

After making their way to a picturesque seaside cove in search of Keledek's ally Darlixiatera, The Inside Outsiders/BF3 dispatch Adrian's familiars to scout the scene before bedding down for the night. Spooky lights, mysterious magical influences, a deep, dark sinkhole, and a mass grave of merfolk bones all paint an ever-darker picture of the predicament Darlixiatera might have gotten herself into. Who or what is waiting and watching as the party delves ever deeper?
Session 30 2022-08-23 Revelations -- currently unavailable --- Session 30 comments -- currently unavailable
After being introduced to three mermaids, the BF3 further explore the domain of Ogrorlo, dead aboleth tyrant, in search of the missing Darlixatera, snagging a magic trident in the process. Revelation follows revelation as the mermaids--really a coven of sea hags--attempt to enlist the party in overthrowing a powerful enemy--Granny Nightshade, night hag terror of the Dreadwood. The team elects to report to their quest-giver, Keledek, rather than engage with the wicked fey: but Darlixatera, a still-unseen dragon, remains in peril.

Session 44 2022-12-06 Salvage Operation: BF3@C (no recording) --- Session 44 comments -- currently unavailable
Intrepid adventurers embark from Saltmarsh on their long-anticipated voyage! Aubreck Drallion's lost treasure ship may be the key to a handsome finder's fee for the party, but smooth sailing aboard the Soul of Winter and amicable rivals might not last forever. Arcane experiments in extradimensional spaces, magic-assisted fishing endeavors, and more await the BF3 on their first few days at sea!
Session 45 2023-01-03 Salvage Operation: the Emperor Awaits 2:16:55 Session 45 comments -- currently unavailable
As the journey to reach the Emperor of the Waves nears its end, the Outsiders have plenty on their minds: Anelia receives an otherworldly vision and boon , Adrian employs Augury and a magically-coerced albatross to prepare for future challenges, Squall hosts a taffy-pull (which Echo enjoys...and explodes), and Kadyn earns kudos from the dwarvish crew by putting himself in their shoes. At last, the first leg of the two adventuring teams' challenge to find and secure the Drallion strongbox kicks off--but danger is never more than a moment away!
Session 46 2023-01-10 Salvage Operation: In the Belly of the Emperor 2:53:50 Session 46 comments -- currently unavailable
Action abounds as the team tangles with a gaggle of ghasts, skirmish with swarms of spiders, and encounter ettercaps, even! Seizing the strongbox and escaping the Emperor are tall, tough tasks, too, especially as tremors portend a titanic tentacled terror!
