 Introduction: Escape Route
W elcome to the Island of Enthos (EN-thōs), vacation spot
for the hard-working adventurer. This drop-in setting should
provide therapeutic escapism for player characters and players
themselves. The island is light on conflict, with a little bit of
intrigue, but mostly, the biggest challenge is how best to
spend each day in this tropical paradise.

Options to fit Enthos into your campaign world:

1. The Island of Enthos and the Warwind Straits may be

placed in your campaign anywhere with a tropical or
subtropical climate and a salty sea.

2. The PCs travel to the world Enthos resides on, which

connects to the Sea of Worlds on the elemental plane of water.

The adventurers will arrive by ship. This ship, one the PCs
own and operate, or one they have booked passage on, will
encounter tall waves, and on the other side, Enthos waits on
the horizon.

This leisure/swashbuckling open-world setting is for parties

of all levels and classes, with low-stakes activites and quests
available for characters at about level three to five. There are
also challenges for higher level characters who want to do
more than relax. The DM could think of themselves as an
activities director for the exploration part of the module,
enticing the players with each new role-playing opportunity.

Note: Much of the content of this setting is largely social.

There are "bring your weapons with you" situations,
creatures to fight in quests, but Enthos is mostly for the
weary traveller in need of a break from dripping with the
blood of their enemies.

Note: See Chapter Five, Optional Rules, for ways to get

the most out of a visit to Enthos.

known to visit Enthos by accident, after a ship goes off
course and ends up within sight of the small, beautiful
island and keys. There is a portal that exists a mile from
shore to the north of Enthos, and connects to oceans
across a multiverse of planets, realms, and planes. The
large sea portal is a two-way Thin Place from your
preferred world to Enthos' home realm, and remains
active permanently. Besides some helpful marker buoys,
the massive portal has no outward appearance, just
ocean waves and a distant horizon.

The PCs are sailing along, and then a storm picks up

from nowhere. After a few tense moments, they have
journeyed to another realm via the Sea of Worlds. A
realm with unfamiliar stars, a single silvery moon, and
an island paradise with vacancies for the whole party.
The nebulous portal that brings people here is a mile
wide and deep, and is marked by buoys. Ships may
decide to turn about and go back without visiting, but
Enthos calls to even the coldest hearts. Ships need only
follow the course back the way they came.

For either option:

A few days into the journey to the island, (or if by
arriving by accident), please read the following:

The sky above fills with storm clouds, and the sea churns.
Tall waves surround the ship, and all you can see is a wall
of ocean. Just as the ship's rigging begins to strain, the
sun breaks through the storm, and a cheer rises from the
crew. "Island ahead, Cap'n!" A mate shouts, and then you
see it. Enthos, jewel of the Warwind Straits.


Less nautically inclined player characters may go right to shore
and start that vacation. The smell of food drifts over the
shore, where vendors serve up meals, fruits, and mixed drinks.
Player characters are free to explore the port, secure
accommodations, get that first taste of rum, or seek adventure
in the island's jungle terrain.

Members of every player race and more have come through

this port at one time or another. The party will meet a diverse
population enjoying the pleasures of this welcoming resort.
The people of Enthos, at least the merchants who run it, are
egalitarian, themselves being a diverse group with a common
interest. Your hosts heartily welcome all types of people,
specifically those with overflowing pockets. If choosing the
Sea of Worlds gate option, people from worlds unknown
lounge on the beaches and gamble in the taverns.

Notes: As the DM, you may decide to both drop Enthos

into your own world's sea and have the Sea of Worlds
connection, allowing populations that might not
otherwise appear in your chosen game setting.

Learn about the effect Enthos has on magic and

magic-users in Chapter Three, Shipwrecked in Paradise.

Wearable language rune stones can be bought from

vendors and in shops to overcome communication
barriers. Though some may prefer to absorb the culture,
and communicate without magic assistance.

Ships that trade in Enthos may be given a port-of-call flag

for the island.

10 Arbelist Tower - Inn and taproom

This tower was originally built to house a huge arbelist

siege weapon remains unfinished on an empty floor.
The tower is four stories tall, with a parapetted top.
Until the arbelist is needed, the locals have set up an
open-plan inn and tavern. Hammocks for rent above,

12 Pantheon and Gift Shop - Place of worship

For worshippers locally and from afar, this bamboo
building acts as a temple. It is a one room building with
dozens of alcoves built into the walls. These spaces hold
statuettes and idols representing a wide variety of deities.
The smell of incense and the sound of wooden chimes
makes this location a peaceful break from the festivities
of the taverns nearby. An orc cleric named Zeten tends
to the pantheon, and the small hut outside of it that sells
trinkets to keep the pantheon running. Zeten does not
accept donations, as her faith prefers to give rather than
take.

If one's deity is not represented among the alcoves,

adventurers will be invited to use an empty space for a
small shrine. Cleric and paladins may then treat the
pantheon as their own holy ground, shared amongst
myriad other supreme beings.

15 The Canopy Road - Jungle cliff pass
Cutting through the rough hills behind the village is a
jungle road. The road is narrow, meandering, and
travelled often, and anything off the road is wilderness.
There are many dead-end paths, animal trails, and
streams, all leading up the forested hills and crags. The
canopy above is a sight to behold, three layers of treetops
so choked with vines, that there are walkable paths above
the road. Getting up there would need Athletic checks at
a DC of 15. The surrounding ridges are about 160 feet
tall, and canopy lines the sides up to about 80 ft.

Flowering vines and trees reveal a bright palette of

tropical colors. Every inch of this jungle road is alive, full
of birds, butterflies, and curious lizards. The sunlight
that makes its way through the openings in the canopies
above showers the path in streams of misty light, and at
night, glowing mosses and flowers light the way.

The road gets a little confusing half-way through, as it is

circuitous though the tall trees, bamboo groves, and
rocky terrain, but there will be torches marking the way.
Before heading into the pass, someone might warn the
adventurers, "Bring your weapons, just in case." If the
PCs get lost wandering around the jungle, use Wisdom
(Survival) checks at a DC of 12 to find the road. The
most dangerous things hiding amongst the thick jungle
is Armored Snakes (found in the Bestiary in Chapter

Amphora, a vessel containing magic tapped from the
elemental plane of ice. Captain Remy wants this
mysterious artifact to make icy mixed drinks to “cure
scurvy” with fruit-filled alcohol. The adventurers must
discover clues to find the Ice Amphora, which is hidden
somewhere unexpected.

Setup: Captain Remy asks the adventurers to help him

find the missing ingredient for his mixed cocktails, "An
ingredient that will change the whole island.". A treasure
map in the possession of the Vampirate Baron Redara left
a clue about a valuable artifact somewhere on Enthos’
main island. He claims that the Torvira cultists, who left
well before the current inhabitants arrived, left the secret
he is looking for. Remy says that there are caves in the
hills that might provide a clue, and to head to Location
21, Torvira Standing Stone to begin the search. He won't
go into much detail, but he promises a hefty reward. He
won’t be forthcoming about what he is looking for, but if
pressed, he is hoping that it is an element-based magic
item.

Prep: The adventurers can head out right away, or

postpone the quest after securing accomodations and
exploring the island. "It ain't going anywhere." Captain
Remy will say he can wait to get his prize. At the last
moment, he will suggest the party gear up, since they
might need their weapons in the surrounding rainforest.
Before the PCs make it to Location 21, read up on the
terrain and the standing stone entrance.

Using Enthos as a home base

For adventure parties that do not enjoy sleeping in
dungeons, consider letting your player characters live in
Enthos, and commute from the port to their

place to find NPCs to join the party.
