Hedda invites you to put on your gills and come enjoy the sun rays under the water of Hartlepool! Enjoy a town in the depths of shadow dragons’ swamps, and the nauseating mystery that has beset it. Take in the gloomy atmosphere as you help the locals investigate their newly settled home but beware of the creatures that lurk in the mire. Chaotic felines, Magically-Irradiated undead, seedy bandits and worse could leap from the bog and take anyone pig-headed enough to tread blindly.

The Sweaty Owl Casino has returned just in time for you to push your luck to the limit! Enjoy our blackjack table with bets you haven't had a chance to place yet like Owls Odds and Sweating Bullets.
