The Opening

“A Royal Charter sloop has strayed from its escort and is currently sitting ducks in the Doldrums. Captain Verma wants you to take a fast cutter, board her, and secure the manifests. The gold is yours, provided he gets his finder's fee.”

— Hook · heist

Set the Scene

The salt spray of Talguda harbor stings your eyes as Captain Thiago Verma spreads a stained nautical chart across a crate of grog. Around you, the chaotic roar of the pirate haven fades as he points to a lone mark far from the established trade routes.

Stakes

If the players fail, they face execution by the Royal Navy. If they succeed but cannot defend against Thiago, they lose the loot and their lives in a pirate betrayal.

Ticking Clock·The Cerulean will reach the safety of Ironcliff patrol range in twelve hours.

Background Lore

The Royal Charter regulates all trade in the sea of Galdora. Talguda is a sanctuary for those who refuse to pay the crown's taxes. The sloop Cerulean was reported to be carrying sensitive diplomatic documents and chests of gold meant for the Port Soverign Governor.

What the World Knows

The merchant sloop Cerulean has veered off course into the Dead Man's Reach. It is lightly defended and holds enough gold to retire on. Thiago provides the ship and the location in exchange for a thirty percent finder's fee.
