Seawrack: Chapter Seven, Part Three

It is time to leave Sudhaven...

The moment Berylla was out of sight, Tahn turned to Yashta. “She’s going to fit in just fine.” “Perhaps.” Yashta tapped her lips, thoughtful. “She will have a great deal to get used to. We haven’t had new applicants for over a year.” “Ah, not quite.” Tahn’s smile was smug. Yashta glanced at him, then looked again. “What? You have had word from Lady Miruna?” “I spoke to her while you and the…

Recollections: Fido the Orca

Another story from the days of the Wayward Crowns – this time, a session as the party was a good bit more powerful. They had been hunting down a lich, and after much effort and tragedy they had finally pinned him down near his lair. They were on a boat, out in the middle of a large lake, and the fight on the ship’s deck was ferocious. Among other things, the party had acquired a combat trained…

Seawrack: Chapter Five, Part Two

Part two of this week's chapter! Yashta has her own part to play as the battle concludes...

Alongside her spell came three…

However, this kingdom was not wont to hand people over to cranky neighbors, and so the…

Seawrack: Chapter Six, Part One

In this week's chapter, we rejoin Peregrine Shandralkir and his sister as they begin their time away from home...

Peregrine Shandralkir stepped off the ferry with a heartfelt sigh. He devoutly hoped they would not be required to travel by water again for many days. His stomach roiled, and he put another peppermint in his mouth as his sister came up to him. Eglantine smirked, amused as always by his discomfort, and then beckoned to him. “Our things are at the inn, but I want to go to the temple straight away.…

Seawrack: Chapter Seven, Part One

As the mission concludes, Berylla is approached by someone new.

The captain of the Maggie had kept the ships moving all night long, but even so, the sun was still high when they finally made port. The slavers’ nameless vessel was in better condition than the Maggie, of course, but with only a skeleton crew manning her, it was best that she simply follow the smaller ship. The folks aboard the captured ship had rounded up all the chains and manacles on board,…
