BELLY OF THE BLACK
WHALE
CHAPTER 1: DISHONORABLY DISCHARGED ................................. 4
PLAYING WITH FIRE
Chances are that when your players
decided to play in the Agents of
Edgewatch Adventure Path, they
figured they’d take on the duties of
upright law officers for the duration
of the campaign. During the course of
this adventure, however, the players
assume the roles of infamous (but
innocent) fugitives—disgraced city
guards who must go rogue to prove
their innocence and free Absalom’s
rightful primarch.
The challenges and encounters of
this adventure might not appeal to
every person in your game group.
Some players might feel uneasy
working with villains rather than
arresting them, and you should
respect their feelings. To modify
this adventure, you can remove
the accusations leveled against
the Edgewatch agents so that only
Wynsal Starborn takes the fall for
the Graveraker crime. The agents’
superior, Captain Asilia, might
even tell the party that she thinks
something is fishy about Wynsal’s
situation and tasks them with going
deep undercover to temporarily work
with Miogimo (who they would then
arrest afterward). In this case, the
malignant forces dwelling in the Black
Whale might have wholly coopted the
prison, which necessitates the agents’
forceful entry to free Wynsal.
This guidance only serves as a
reminder that you’re not beholden to
the words on these pages if you think
changing something—even major plot
points—will make your game more fun
for the players who sit at your table.
After implicating themselves in a spree of crimes, the Edgewatch agents must
work with an ex-Starwatch commando-turned-crime lord named Miogimo.
They need to earn Miogimo’s trust so that he can help them formulate a
plan to infiltrate and escape the Black Whale prison complex with Wynsal
Starborn in tow. To do so, they must bring down some of the Eastgate
district’s most despicable gangs, a series of events that culminates in a chaotic
shoot-out in the House of the Planes.

CHAPTER 2: BELLY OF THE BLACK WHALE ..................................28
With their escape plans secured, the agents infiltrate the Black Whale,
Absalom’s notorious fleet of prison galleys docked in Kortos Bay. Villains
abound in the prison complex, which has taken unscrupulous steps to
increase security in the wake of Wynsal’s incarceration. The agents must
defeat monstrous foes and bypass magical safeguards in order to spring
their wrongly imprisoned ally.
CHAPTER 3: THE RUMORMONGER’S STRONGHOLD ....................52
With Wynsal safe, the agents can now go about clearing their names and
digging up evidence against their old associate Reginald Vancaskerkin,
whom they rightly suspect of being the “Rumormonger,” the secretive
third member of the Twilight Four. When Reginald goes into hiding in the
trap-laden dungeons beneath his publishing empire, the agents infiltrate
a devious maze of monsters and hazards to bring the Rumormonger to
justice and put his schemes to an end.
“Belly of the Black Whale” is designed for four characters. Characters
should level up between each chapter.
