Play Report
It's widely known that Captain Rimes of the Lady's Lament has consistently delivered some of the finest Ash in these waters. Extremely high-quality and, at times, in abundance. Rumor has it Captain Rimes had made deals with dark devils and established himself an actual Ash refinery. Interestingly, neither Captain Rimes nor his Ash have been seen in several months leading some to question whether Rimes and his crew finally gave up their souls.
Now, Captain Carlitos and crew, followed a crude map allegedly showing the location of Captain Rimes's Ash facility in an area of La Florida, a location marked by a circle on the map as La Marisma. If accurate, with this refinery and it's Ash surplus the crew could dominate the Ash market. And if Captain Rimes has met his end, then all the easier path towards riches and power.
On their way up river towards the village of La Marisma the crew encountered...
stick fetishes dangling from long mossy branches to ward off evil
terrifying creatures of mushroom, plant, and bone
flowers shaped like skulls that, when damaged, exploded into a puff of Ash
a dark and twisted shrine to Valdagor, a stag headed demon with tentacled body, with a tome portraying the demon as the savior of La Marisma
At the Village of La Marisma they found it deserted of human life and overtaken by the swamp, along with...
more skull-shaped Ash flowers overtaking the ruins
stag headed minor-demons with tentacled bodies prowling the ruins
a golem of earth and stone focused solely on killing the minor-demons
the Lady's Lament run aground and converted into an Ash refinery along with the mill in which the bones were ground
2300 doses of superior-quality Ash
a tome revealing the true story of La Marisma and how Captain Rimes and his pirates were cruel and abusive to the villagers, and the failed steps the villagers took to overthrow the tyrants. Rather than their salvation, they instead summoned the demon which brought about the destruction of all there. Captain Rimes, though, is believed to have fled to the swamps, now living as a recluse
a ritual to craft an Earth Ward golem that will defend against a single named target
a Carpenter's Cup relic
The crew opted to not mess with the demon and to instead plunder the Ash - fortune over folly. Except Biggles... he decided to stay and fight the demon on his own. His life or death is unknown.
