  A Short Scenario for the Stormbringer 5th edition ruleset by Marcus D. Bone

In even the most law abiding of communities the worshippers of chaos can thrive, hidden in plain sight! In The Brides of Pyaray, the characters are lured into a mystery of their own making, where their desire to make good leads to an adventure offering dire consequences… does one dare ask; what indeed beckons the brides of the Tentacled Whisperer of Impossible Secrets?

  The Brides of Pyaray is a short scenario written for the Stormbringer 5th edition ruleset, and is designed to be played over one or two sessions. The premise of the adventure requires that the characters have access to their own ship and are – as any good Gamemaster is likely to ensure in any case – a little desperate for their next paying job. Set in the Isles of the Purple Towns and dealing with a number of events on the open ocean, it is recommended that the Game Master has access to the Stormbringer 4th edition supplements Sea Kings of the Purple Towns and Sailing of the Seas of Fate. In addition, some of the magic described in this adventure can be found in The Bronze Grimoire.

  This updated edition, adds little to the previous available version, except the addition of a new cover and a brief edit.
