How to run Tempest Leviathan
Tempest Leviathan is a tier 4 bruiser for Daggerheart. Drop it into any fitting scene; the statblock above is free to add to your compendium in the app, and the one-shot below gives you somewhere to run it.
Where it begins
- 1
A fleet vanishes in clear skies, then the storm arrives hours later.
- 2
Fisherfolk return with netted lightning and a new fear of open water.
- 3
A lighthouse keeper swears a shadow climbed the tower during a squall.
Stormwake
A storm follows the path of a missing ship. The party must reach the wreck, survive the rising waves, and confront the leviathan that drags vessels into its maelstrom.
The Vanished Fleet
The sea is strangely calm, yet the horizon is bruised with distant thunder. Wreckage drifts in a slow circle, and a cracked lifeboat bobs among the boards with survivors clinging to it.
Set up the mystery and an immediate rescue. The party can pull survivors aboard, recover the ship's log, and spot signs of a massive creature below before the storm hits.
