Dungeons & Dragons held its monthly “Spoilers and Swags” Twitch stream, in which D&D senior director Nathan Stewart and game designer Kate Welch interact with fans and tease some of the tabletop game’s next products. This month, Stewart and Welch debuted two pages of their upcoming publication, which is due to come out sometime this spring.
We knew from last month, as Stewart and Welch revealed that the adventure would have a nautical theme, and the preview pages indicate that the book will actually contain one or more adventures.
What is a very interesting though, is the two pages detailed what appears to be a remake of the classic module “The Final Enemy,” which involves the infiltration of a sahuagin fortress. The first page depicts a picture of the “lobster fight club,” in which two lobsters fight to the death while sahuagin watch, and the second page shows an arena setting that includes a picture of two adventures fighting a sea cat.
So, why do I think this is going to be “remake” of U3? The big clue is the text included in the preview pages. The second page contains a description of a large arena with two sahuagin fighting to the death. The first paragraph matches a similar paragraph from The Final Enemy almost word for word.
“In the arena proper, two sahuagin warriors are locked in mortal combat, each unarmed and tearing at the other with viscious claws and bone crunching bites, They are settling a major grievance in the traditional sahuagin manner, a duel to the death, using only nature’s weapons. They have no possessions.”
For those that are not familiar with U3, The module was the third and final module in the Saltmarsh series, presenting the climactic events in an underwater campaign of three related adventures set in the town of Saltmarsh which began in The Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh and continued in Danger at Dunwater.
Another interesting thing of note here, The final enemy is set in Greyhawk, not the forgotten realms, Last years Tales From The Yawning Portal also was set in Greyhawk.
