Sea Cave Reskin 2 The Smugglers Hole

Reskinning the Sea Cave

As it was it was a kind of haunted place where all kinds of creatures meet and visit. It was the kind of place even the regulars would wander around. Over various eras the mix of occupants has changed. The pirate cave era there was a time of freebooters, smugglers and wreckers sharing the cave and operating a tavern. At other times cultists of the fish men gathered here but they possibly infiltrated the pirate cave era. They populated the cave with various cultists and fish hybrids. A sea witch once dominated the cave also populating it with more sea creatures. The occupants have changed back and forth for centuries.

The Smugglers Hole
So on and off humans have driven back the cave occupants and dominated. The Smugglers Hole was in the Great Cave. It was a villainous tavern that atracted the coastal criminal fraternity and atracted local highwaymen and bandits. Other creatures did try and return but the law possibly with adventurers and a local mob cleared them out.

The Wreckers are a inbred cannibal clan who manipulate the coastal light beacons during storms to look wreckage. The chief is Barny Seashank (T4).

The Pirate Gang are currently in charge and led mostly by Captain Clamglum (T6) but other pirates visit often.

The smugglers avoid tariffs and bring in forbidden duty free drugs. The find the maritime scum are good trading partners and enjoy duty free rum and drugs. Murry Lugfish runs the gang and has contacts along the coast.If any room has more cultists than outsiders they might be caught doing something cultish like performing a ritual or sacrifice.
