Hell and High Water: A Trench Crusade Adventure for Hollows
The Carrion Coast has a new nightmare waiting beyond death. Hell and High Water brings the world of Trench Crusade into Hollows, the tactical roleplaying game from Rowan, Rook and Decard, in a standalone adventure created in collaboration with Factory Fortress.
For players drawn to Trench Crusade’s salt-stained battlefields, religious horror and monstrous enemies, this is a chance to explore that setting through a different kind of tabletop game.
What is Hell and High Water?
This is a self-contained Hollows adventure set in the world of Trench Crusade. The 64-page book includes the basic rules needed to play, so you do not need the Hollows core book to get started. It is a separate roleplaying adventure rather than a new edition of the Trench Crusade skirmish rules.
The story follows Faithful soldiers who meet their end on the Carrion Coast and enter the visions of the prophet Blessed Bartolomeo. Their struggle continues beyond death, through an otherworldly coast haunted by Heretic Captains, Sea Hags and legions of the damned. Waiting at the heart of it all is an unreal version of War-Priest Charon, the Lord of the Hollow.
What is included?
- A complete adventure set in an otherworldly version of the Carrion Coast.
- Four deadly Entities to confront.
- Five ready-to-play Hunter characters, including a Stigmatic Nun and a Leper-Pilgrim.
- The basic Hollows rules needed for the adventure.
- A printable battle map and tokens, with perforated tear-out character sheets and cut-up tokens in the physical book.
That combination makes it an accessible starting point for groups who want to try Hollows while exploring a setting they already enjoy.
