Adam Busenbark — Table 4

Pirate Borg is a rules light game with an older edition D&D feel, custom built to facilitate scurvy-ridden rum-soaked pirate adventures in a dark and twisted version of the Caribbean. Life is cheap, (un)death is prevalent, and new characters roll up rather quickly! Join me for a four hour sandbox session where you'll get to choose your own misadventure as you try to survive the debt you owe to an infamous pirate captain.

After nearly dying on your last voyage, you were saved by the infamous pirate captain Fredrick “Sea Devil” Black. The captain then unceremoniously dumped you onto the docks of an unfamiliar port. Nothing in the Dark Caribbean is free, and you instinctively know that Black will be back with high expectations. You have the four hours of our session to fix your situation. Go treasure hunting in hopes of paying off your debt, steal a ship and make a run for it, find a defensible location and dig in your heels for a fight. Do whatever you can, as fast as you can, as you've only got four hours, and this Devil always gets his due.

Adventure Synopsis:
Welcome to Lastwick, where tonight is the biggest celebration of the year.
The beer is free. The music is loud. The entire village is celebrating.
Because at midnight, everybody dies.
It has happened every year for 117 years. When the clock strikes twelve, every man, woman, and child in Lastwick drops dead—and when the sun rises, they wake up perfectly fine.
At least, that's what's supposed to happen.
This year, the clock strikes twelve and the villagers fall dead... but the adventurers don't.
Then the graves begin to open.
With dawn approaching and Lastwick's dead refusing to stay buried, the heroes must descend beneath the village, uncover the secret of the Last Night, and destroy the ancient evil that has been waiting 117 years for its chance to escape.
Tonight, everybody dies. The question is whether they'll wake up.

At The Silver Hart, a lonely tavern on a rain-soaked road, the fire burns low and the windows rattle without wind. The characters shelter inside as the storm abruptly falls silent.

The door opens by itself. Silver light spills across the floor, and every shadow points to a nervous merchant clutching a locked iron coffer. A woman whispers from above, “Sisters, he brought it after all.” The fire turns blue and glasses frost over.

Five astral elf women emerge from the darkness, tall and still in wolf-gray cloaks trimmed with silver. Their star-bright eyes mark them as the Wolffe Sisters, infamous thieves who leave no footprints.

One smiles. “No heroics. We are only here for what was stolen from us.”

A starlight blade appears at the merchant’s throat. The coffer and bar’s strongbox spring open, coins rise like fireflies, and one sister strips valuables from the crowd faster than sight. The others watch the adventurers as if expecting them.

Clint Menezes — Table 6

Travelers have vanished on the roads, farms have been raided, and the townsfolk are afraid to venture beyond the safety of their homes.

Protect your friends, defend your hometown, and show these outlaws that your community will not be an easy target.

Jyn Murmal
Far east of Brightwater, beneath the jagged Five Nation Mountain Range, the mining boomtown of Jyn Murmal rose on silver—and the promise of fortune. Then miners uncovered Vortwuldorr, a bluish-gray metal no tool could scratch and no warrior could dent. It was not a vein, but a wall buried deep inside the mountain.

The Breaking
The ruthless Diamondpick Syndicate claimed the discovery. With a priceless diamond-headed hammer, dwarven miners, clerical support, and orc enforcers, they battered the wall until it split. Beyond lay a silent stone chamber: no movement, sound, or smell. The miners celebrated and pushed onward. No one noticed the canary had died.

The Sickness
Fourteen people died the first day. By the third, victims were collapsing in the streets. Five days after the breach, Jyn Murmal is quarantined: no one enters or leaves. The afflicted suffer nausea, fever, hair loss, and uncontrolled bleeding. Humans and elves fall fastest; halflings and gnomes resist longer; dwarves endure best, but even they are weakening. Whatever lies beyond the wall is poisoning the city.

The Offer
Each character receives a secret invitation to a candlelit room above a tavern. A refined high elf waits with an armored loxodon, a threatening minotaur, and five pouches overflowing with gold and gems. He offers the fortune if the party enters the forbidden mine, discovers what lies beyond the breach, and ends the threat. He provides ten vials of murky green liquid—two per character—to delay the poison, along with ten platinum pieces each and a week of lodging. If the party cannot stop the danger, they must escape and ask the barkeep for a shot of Dragon’s Tears; their employer will find them. The elf and his guards then vanish, taking the promised fortune with them and leaving only the supplies.

The Question
The mine is sealed, the city is dying, and something unseen waits in the dark. What do you do?
