The Final Enemy – a Ghosts of Saltmarsh DM’s Resource

Publisher: Dungeon Masters Guild

Saltmarsh is preparing for war. Merfolk, locathah, lizardfolk and human alike are banding together to face The Final Enemy: the sahuagin. Their numbers are vast and their fortress, immense. When the council decides to put together an elite strike force to gather information before the main assault, will heroes rise to meet the challenge?

The Final Enemy is the fourth adventure of seven in the Ghosts of Saltmarsh campaign book. It has the party going on a reconnaissance mission to a sahuagin lair followed by a full assault by the united peoples of Saltmarsh. The Final Enemy is a short adventure that is likely to take a few sessions given the immense size of the sahuagin lair. The focus of this adventure is on stealth and information gathering, although combat is likely inevitable for most parties.
