Session 106 Prep

Previously...

PC's caught and convicted of thievery. In exchange for their freedom and hand, they are sent through a portal to a cold windswept shore. There they are met by longship crew who hurry them aboard just as another portal opens spewing fort a demonic horde who seem to be pursuing the PC's. They journey southward along the coast and are attacked by saughain. In the process they crew is abducted and they are unable to control the ship as its blown into the rocky coast. They find themselves cold and wet washed ashore with three of the crew. The boat is fouled on the rocks a few hundred yards out from the shore. Session 105 - Crime doesn't pay

Interludes

• Roll on the coastal encounter table if heading north or inland from the shipwreck site.
• Pickpockets (in town)

Planned Events

Washed up on the beach

• Hvitserk and Helga take charge as soon as they hit the beach. The remaining crew dies minutes later from injuries sustained in the wreck. There are three days of provisions and enough debris for a makeshift camp. They salvage what gear they can and tell the PC's to help them secure the beach. They are clearly uncomfortable about the attack and being ashore in case the sahuagin come back. The boat is in need of major repair due to the damage from running around. It will take 2-5 days to make it seaworthy again. Make a coastal encounter table roll once during each day and night.

Continuing the voyage (by sea)

• One aboard make a random encounter check using the At Sea Encounter and Weather Table. The journey takes less than 1/2 day.

Continuing the voyage (by land)

• The PC's will be walking to Coregilia which will take the a full day if they start out in the morning. At midday make a weather and coastal encounter table check. They will arrive by dusk and find the town bustling with activity as the remains boats enter the small harbor.

Arrival in Coregilia

• They will be met at the town gate and asked to pay the tax (3 SP) to enter. The town is generally welcoming.

Cliffhanger

The barbarian raiders sails are sighted by the town watch and the alarm is raised. General chaos ensues as the citizens rush to their homes and the guard is mustered. The PC's are viewes with suspicion or possibly spies depending their interactions with the townsfolk thus far.
