CritSheetPre-Session Brief

Before Session 10

The Sea Taketh

Previously on The Sea Taketh

The party stormed the Drowned Spire and faced Governor Crowe's frigate and Blackwater's ground defense at the apex. The chest opened on its own and revealed a cartograph mapping every ship the Pale Sereph ever sank, along with the name of the god responsible. The Pale Sereph was destroyed, Crowe turned his frigate and fled, and Blackwater surrendered his sword to Cael.

The Story So Far

Nine sessions of blood, salt, and dead gods have brought the party from a stolen manifest in Port Morrow to the destruction of the Pale Sereph itself. They now hold a cartograph naming twelve hundred sunken ships and the god who sank them, correspondence proving Governor Crowe funded the cult for twelve years, and a surrendered pirate captain whose fate has not been decided. Crowe is still alive, still powerful, and the only man with reason to want everything the party is carrying destroyed.

Open Threads

  • Governor Crowe fled the Drowned Spire by frigate and his remaining fleet strength and intentions are unknown.
  • The cartograph recovered from the chest names every ship sunk in the Shattered Sea and the god responsible, and what that information means for the wider world has not been addressed.
  • Vane Blackwater surrendered his sword to Cael at the Drowned Spire apex and his fate has not been decided by the party.
  • The correspondence seized from the Crowe convoy is proof of Crowe's crimes and he will want it back or destroyed before it reaches other ports.
  • Calista Merrow watched Sister Maren revive her first mate mid-battle and her expression changed permanently, leaving the nature of that shift unresolved.
  • The Pale Sereph placed the chest deliberately as a vessel to be found rather than a prison, and the motives behind twelve hundred sunken ships remain unanswered.
