Episode 7 – Shadows Beneath the Waves

The depths of the Avenram Trench hold more than just ruins and forgotten history. After facing a trial from the enigmatic Sphinx of Reflection, the party presses onward—only to find themselves entangled in a web of corruption. The water genasi outpost is not what it seems, and its leader, Kalis, offers them an impossible choice. But betrayal comes swift, and as battle erupts, the cavern itself shudders... revealing something far more terrifying.

An ancient horror stirs. The Abyssal Eye awakens.

Will they survive the abyss, or be swallowed by the shadows beneath the waves?

🔥 Roll Initiative! 🔥
