This adventure is part of Halo of the Blood Angel, a level 11-16 adventure path for 5th Edition.

A merfolk cult leader, the Blue Humor, has captured a group of civilians and taken them to a ruined museum at the bottom of the ocean. There, the Blue Humor plans to sacrifice those terrified citizens to awaken a gargantuan moonpawn leviathan. The sunken museum is filled with primordial sea creatures, monsters crawling from centuries-old asteroids, and zealous cultists. Can the party stop the Blue Humor from unearthing the leviathan from its slumber? Or will the great city of Withengard be pulled into the sea and overrun with aliens from a distant moon?
