The guild recently had the pleasure of attending [Campaign A/H/N] The Crimson Compass - Campaign Over! - #179 by Ekresera-argent-dawn in Feralas / Desolace which resulted in many new friendly and unfriendly acquaintances! Heck, I even resorted to be a Dungeon Master for an event with Makrura Pirates! Although they were more like desperate refugees trying to escape the increasing aggression of the Naga but that’s beside the point.
We got to take part in another ship to ship battle against undead pirates and won; even though the other factions beat us to the actual objective. That is again, beside the point. Afterwards we set sail south to Uldum where the crew got to experience the fabled market in Mar’at during the weekend, better known as Uldum Nights.
The voyage eastwards, while smooth at first have taken a darker turn. Someone had wrecked the galley while the Galley Chief was checking the pantry bellow deck. It wasn’t soon after the Tideforged got inside to try to determine what happened when a Rigger had fallen from the mainmast’s halyward while holding onto a clean cut line which tore under his weight. He broke his neck the moment he hit the ground and held the torn piece of rope in his hand; the other end was a clean cut.
It became evident that it had been an act of sabotage and the Tideforged were determined to find the culprit who had caused the death of a comrade. It got worse with the discovery that one of the suspects had been turned into a K’thir during their stay in Feralas. There had been no hesitation as the sailor had been shot in the head, crumbling to the deck and revealed its true nature.
While the abberation was dead, there was no guarantee that it had been the only one aboard. Now, the ship is in lock down, a strict curfew is being enforced aboard while the crew try to determine if there had only been one K’thir aboard the ship; or if more had been turned.
