An approaching hurricane has forced the residents of your community into an emergency shelter. Together, you must assist the relief workers in preparing the facility for the incoming storm. As the storm intensifies, odd electrical disturbances are seen in the distance and seem to envelop the coastline. During the harshest part of the storm, odd creatures are seen emerging from the storm itself. Can the inner turmoil of the refugees be overcome enough to work together? Can your group secure the facility before the creatures invade? Aquatic Refugees is a Tortured Earth one-shot designed to introduce new GMs to the mechanics of crafting and combat. This story is compatible with both the Rules Lite version of Tortured Earth and the full version of the game.
