Session Summaries; Vol. 23: The Succession Crisis @ 23 Nov 2007 03:11 pm by Kevyspice
The Freeport Four rescued Finn and Lady Elise in a daring raid at Felix’s Resort, where Fargas Ironfoot and his cronies were having their way with the staff and guests. Richard instantly recalled himself and the two high-profile captives back to the Sea Wind, while the rest of the party made quick work of the assembled pirates. Unfortunately, a familiar pair of Crimson Fleet wizards teleported away with Fargas before the party could capture him. (One of the wizards departed with an unfriendly admonition for the doomed Bosun – “Good luck, asshole.”) The group sailed Fargas’s ship, the Widowmaker, back to Freeport after having cleared the Resort and the ship of crew (including pirates and a cabin boy who turned out to be a succubus, presumably feeding on the degenerate pirate who was violating him when Chow opened the door to the crew cabin). Amongst Fargas’s personal effects, the party discovered an odd map and a journal incriminating Arias Soderheim as the instigator of the kidnapping of Lady Elise. The elven shipping magnate and member of the Captains’ Council had apparently offered Fargas 20,000 gold pieces and the right to capture Finn in exchange for seizing Elise. The group noticed on the way back that the weather was changing, indicating that the hurricane bearing down on Freeport would probably arrive a couple of days sooner than anticipated.
