The Liam Solo
May. 11th, 2023 02:19 amSerd Brucera declines Ulda Bordis's invitation to go with her to the Kingdoms, claiming that (1) he has no desire to return to those lands for various reasons (the food is too spicy, the weather too warm and the men too cold) and (2) they just met so its probably not a good idea for them to take off on an adventure that will probably end in violent bloodshed. Ulda Bordis admits this is probably a good idea, and leaves the Dappled Tiger.
However, as she is leaving the Tiger, a figure catches up to Ulda Bordis on the street. It is Leth, the Lisote woman who she hired on the last escort job from Frostkeep. Leth asks what happened to Liam and Ulda Bordis tells the tale. Leth takes Ulda Bordis to see a friend of hers who may be able to help.
Leth leads Ulda Bordis to a ramshackle bar called the Cellar, patronized by ruffians and ne'er-do-wells. There, she introduces Ulda Bordis to Captain Hamish Trapp of the Farwen.
Captain Trapp seems to have some bad feelings twoard the Kingdoms and agrees to listen to Ulda Bordis's story. When he finds out that the ship he's being hired to pursue is the Relentless, the job becomes personal as he vows to send that ship's captain and crew to the bottom of the Gilded Sea.
The trio make their way to the Farwen, where Captain Trapp starts bellowing orders, while his First Mate, a long-eared goblin called Quill, points out that they haven't agreed to a price for the mission. Ulda Bordis offers 130g for the safe return of Liam, a sum that satisfies Quill, further motivates the captain and surprises Leth. Leth is offered a chance to leave, but decides to stay aboard, and Ulda Bordis gets out of the crew's way, swearing that if she doesn't get Liam back, that there will be hell to pay.

Yeah, so tonight's session was a bit all over the place. The dice-rolls led to Serd Brucera not joining the party, but did take us to Captain Trapp, who did. Further rolls revealed that Trapp has a bleak history with the Relentless, providing a personal motivation for him to catch up with the ship. Deciding rolls also led to Leth choosing the stay on board.
On the worldbuilding front, this session led to the creation of a sea god, specific to the Gilded Sea, known as the Serpent Lord. I did this quite by accident, as I forgot that there was already a sea diety present, the Siren. Still, there's nothing that says there can't be two sea-gods. Right? The Siren, however, is probably a goddess of the Ocean and the Sea, while the Serpent Lord is just a god of the sea.
Anyway, the last three sessions have all occurred on the same day. The ship carrying Liam away has a good head start, but she's fighting against the wind and the weather, and the Farwen, at least according to Captain Trapp, is the fastest ship on the Wild Coast. So, it'll be interesting to see if she can catch up to the Relentless, and what happens then.
