Message:We sailed the water off of Tmutarakan hunting the Pyrate king. Our longboat suffered many deprivations (losing several-many swagger, seven lost?!?).
We passed locations where we needed to choose Tact for our boat crew. We often selected Cautious. Lazy and Relentless were other choices. As a result, several Swagger were gained (at the expense of the boat). We eventually found the highest peaked isle, where a Minoan temple was built. The priests ask us to try bull jumping. Turns out the bulls were minotaurs. After the carnage we saw our pursuit objective, the Pyrate King Miorsk’s magical ship.
Before then the magical sentinel Þráinn (Train) gave us tattoos which imparted the fury. We are now Slayer of Undead, Slayer of Demons and Slayer of Mythic Beasts. Yet the tattoo keeps the character from gaining the Fury elsewhere. Vicious wounds to burn them off. The player can only use the Energetic Trait to cancel Shaken.
We entered the Pyrate King’s vessel by the Sail Tops. Bjorg felt skill attempts would be easier than combat. From there we crossed Light Port Towers and Spartan Dormitories (both combat against spellcasters, so much for the initial wisdom).
We ended play entering the Lavish Apartments (the “h” being silent). The Magical Boatswain, a Satyr, was defeated using Subcommander Battle. Torbjorg (Mumbles) made him vulnerable and Bjorg slew the fiend.
Alls well as we continue our hunt for the Pyrate king and Personal Nepr stone.
We continue next week.
Oh, we also ousted Lofti from the command and imprisoned him below deck. He can not become commander until Fullmoon dies. No democracy; Fullmoon has the trust of the crew. We seem doomed.
Yours,
