After tracking a package from Lord Darrow to Hai Phong and locating the old sailor, the leagues made their way to the legendary Perilous Island. Located deep within the Indian Ocean, Perilous Island rises from the sea, surrounded by sharp rocks, sheer cliffs, and enshrouding fogs.
The more scientific amongst our adventurers speculated that combined with an active volcano and numerous lava flows dividing the island, Perilous Island and the surrounding seas are able to maintain tropical temperatures. And that it was quite possible that the island had survived the Ice Age intact and may have predated the Jurassic period. They wondered what mysteries remained preserved in the strange isle.
As our intrepid adventurers sailed towards shore across the rocks, anxious to explore the island, a monstrous beast burst from the depths, rending metal, splintering wood and capsizing their various craft. The vessels either capsized immediately or took on water rapidly. Most were thrown into the water and desperately swam for shore, the screams of crew echoing behind. Sputtering and exhausted, they saw the wreckage of a steamer within the lagoon itself. It could only have belonged to the Darrow Expedition!
All could see that the deadly terror from the deep could arrive at anytime; could they defeat the beast, recover any clues, and unlock the secrets of Perilous Island?...
