Pirate Borg - Session 7

The crew brainstormed ways to approach the bishop and settled on inviting him to their ship for dinner, claiming they needed a blessing after a recent pirate attack. They promised a donation to the church in exchange for his service.

When the bishop arrived, accompanied by soldiers and priests, he blessed the ship, and the crew gifted their cargo of lumber. Over dinner, the crew discussed their interest in work, and the bishop, recognizing his former crew mate The Devil Fish, quickly deduced that they were after privateering.

He revealed that the rumored buried treasure was tied to a place of cold, death, and horror: C'Thagn, an unholy city on an island that occasionally submerges beneath the waves. The city was home to The Wretched, the cult at the heart of the worship of the Elder Gods, and was their main stronghold.

After hearing the bishop's offer of a larger ship, the crew decided to decline, recognizing the complications of piracy while being accompanied by a Spanish warship. They bid the bishop farewell and set course back to Nassau to seek easier prey.

In Nassau, they heard rumors about a cardamom trade between Guadeloupe and the other side of the Atlantic, which they decided to disrupt. Additionally, there were reports of green lights in the jungle on New Providence Island.

The crew sailed around the island, eventually landing near the location of the green lights. They came upon a canoe brought ashore from a nearby lagoon. When they approached, a voice from the forest warned them to turn around, followed by the sound of weapons being trained on them. Never ones to back down, the crew launched an attack.

It turned out to be five Englishmen. After a brutal fight, the crew killed two and captured a third. The remaining two fled. The captured man revealed that he was the captain of a ship currently at sea, and agreed to cooperate in exchange for his life.

Pirate Borg - Session 5

François and Elizabeth went to Governor Claude Barlette to report their success in clearing the cultist temple. However, the governor was displeased, as he had specifically requested live cultists for interrogation, not a demon’s severed head. Despite his frustration, he offered a small reward for the head. Returning to their ship, Red Monolith , they were surprised to find Isabel alive and back aboard. The crew spent time shopping for supplies and recruiting new members to bolster their ranks. With their numbers restored, the crew deliberated on their next move. Deciding not to linger on the island, they set sail for Nassau on New Providence Island, a haven for pirates and privateers, reachable in just a day’s journey. During their journey to Nassau, the crew noticed they were being followed by a ship made entirely of bone, constructed from the remains of the dead. Unwilling to engage in open waters, the Red Monolith maneuvered between smaller islands in the Bahamas, eventually docki...

Pirate Borg - Session 2

 The party fought off the undead in the cemetery tunnels, discovering a stash of grave loot, including a necklace granting temporary invisibility. Using it, Francois sneaked undetected through an old, unused door from the tunnels into the church, where he noticed that Father Wallace kept his chambers locked—unlike Rupert’s. Later, the party met with Billy and his two co-conspirators, Edward and Martin, to overthrow The Black Diamond's captain and crew. They set up an ambush near the abandoned lighthouse, pretending to drink and relax around a fire to lower the crew’s guard. At the right moment, the party struck, swiftly killing the captain. In a prolonged fight, Francois showcased his sharpshooting skills, and by the end, nearly the entire crew was dead, including Billy. Only Edward, Martin, and Gaspar survived. With the captain defeated, “The Bride” took command as the new captain of The Black Diamond , under the agreement that the crew split all the loot equally. After taking co...
