Episode: Darkwater Rising
Posted by Story on 09/14/17
Fair winds and calm seas, blessings from Mangata follow them. At first. But as they get closer to Maelstrom, the seas are choppier and the winds harder. The ships, at first sailing in tight formation, start to give each other a wider and wider berth. No one wants to be tossed into another ship on a crashing wave. The Captains know their jobs though and this is not for the faint of heart - but then while Thrax have been accused of many things, cowardice is not the first that springs to mind. It becomes clear that some of the ships will make it to the harbor ahead of the coming storm, but some will be sailing in after. And so it is that Reese, Luca, Sparte, Clara, Preston, and Tobias reach the docks of Maelstrom first.
They are accorded a brief welcome and then rushed indoors as the heavens open up, where they are met with grim news. Something is advancing on Maelstrom's Eastern wall. Bravely, they organize their forced. Sir Preston's Templars managed to get two trebuchets built in the pouring rain, which is good because when... things... start heading over the plains toward the wall, the large rocks seem to be the most efficient way of pinning them down.
