A group of unlikely adventurers is now being hailed as "Dragonslayers" after saving the town of Fishgather from a sickly, suicidal black dragon. Now, having enjoyed the hospitality of the town for a time, they have discovered that their acquaintance Hogga has been found dead in his hut, alongside his family. A secretive deep gnome has revealed the creatures behind his death, the terrible aberrant manta-ray like cloakers, and now the “Dragonslayers” must track down the source of the frightful moaning in the back docks...

Soon after, they find each other as companions-at-arms while an assault from a kobold army puts the entire town of Fishgather in peril. The quartet is now being hailed as "Dragonslayers" after saving the town from a sickly, suicidal black dragon. Now, having enjoyed the hospitality of Fishgather, they discover that their acquaintance Hogga has been found dead in his hut, alongside his family. The mystery deepens as the "Dragonslayers" move to investigate the death on the lake...

For the first time ever, the cast of the Clanfire steps into Planegea proper to play their first session of Death on the Lake, the unreleased adventure written and ran by the author of the Planegea campaign setting, David Somerville! Join Daniel Gable, Zoë Edwards, Avalon Palmer, and Adam Beckwith as the intrepid adventurers Ano, Petrovia, Thystre and Lock begin their journey in the lake town of Fishgather. The tale begins thus:

Ask anyone from Fishgather why the depths of Bitewater Lake glow green-gray at night and you’ll hear six different stories. Some say the lake light is caused by drowned ghosts, others that it’s from magical fish, or a submerged god, or powerful crystals, or anything else a storyteller might imagine.

The truth is that nobody knows its source; or if they do, they’re not telling. And so, people stop asking. After all, with a black dragon prowling in the marshes nearby, the Stone Empire just up the slopes, and winter sharpening its tusks every year, who has time to worry about a little glimmer deep under the water?

Hogga the Unlucky certainly isn’t concerned about the lakelight tonight. That unfortunate fisherman is only thinking about the hulking, leathery monster tangled up in his fishing nets… and the reward that such a strange prize might fetch him if he can only manage to haul it in.
