Our beloved Julianne and Jacques-Louis were absent for this session. Perhaps that was for the better considering the dark deeds considered during this session’s telling of tales? Isabella continued her search for Sophia’s Daughters and found a contact. This “sister” was a stooped older woman with white hair, a widower, living along in fine accommodations. Her late husband had been a merchant… Continue reading

The journey to Five Sails continued through the Vaticine Gulf. They skillfully avoided the pirates and privateers who frequent the locale and soon found themselves approaching the city many of them called home. They were quickly met at the docks by Patricia Moustakas, a Numa dockmaster, looking to collect fees much larger than Captain Hawke was accustomed to. He sent… Continue reading

Flashback to the day the Ruby Star sailed away from Arisent. Mary inquired with Captain Nathan Hawke as to their next destination and he gave her a heading but nothing further. She pressed for more information but Hawke told her he would tell her more when the time was right. He alone had the coordinates to Black Skull Isle and he wanted to keep… Continue reading

Rebuilt Isabella Alunni and Don Diego de la Vega-Borgia. Created an ad hoc scenario in which the Ruby Star was damaged during a storm and the group took refuge on an uncharted island. The island possessed natural resources with which to repair the vessel. However, the island was not inhabited. A vile cult of Nyarlathotep called it home and during… Continue reading

Montaigne, with its long history of conflicts between monarchs and knights, and of course, the other nations of Theah, has left us with a glorious legacy of fortified cities. This is doubly true of Montaigne’s coastal cities which must defend against threats from both land and sea. Ramparts, proud towers, and massive gateways ring the… Continue reading

No better way to ensure that than to recruit the players to help. Blinsky the QuartermasterDoc, the… doc…Kaylee the shipwright and engineerMama Booga the cook with a… Continue reading

We begin our tale in the town of La Motte on a small island just off the southwestern tip of Montaigne in the Widow’s Sea. Warm summer winds blow salty air across the people of La Motte, a good day for sailing. A good day to stay a new story as well. In a rundown… Continue reading
