First Tale: Maiden Voyage<br/><br/><em> You serve on the Rebecca, a medium-sized frigate currently hauling lumber from the Free Towns to the Kieran Empire. Four hours ago, your ship was hit by something large below the waterline. Several of the crew were sucked out the bottom in an instant, and a broken lantern set the hull ablaze.<br/><br/>Your captain, Jonas Abraham from Earth’s England, managed to beach the ship on the shores of Torath-Ka—the Savage Land—but it seems the Rebecca is doomed. Captain Abraham tasked you with foraging out to find provisions while the other 20 men of the Rebecca begin salvaging what they can from the wreck.<br/><br/>You did as instructed, of course, and now find yourself several miles away along the beach at the edge of a thick jungle. To your left is an old skiff, its bottom ripped apart long ago. To your right, in the jungle, is something large crashing about the foliage.</em><br/><br/>Your campaign has begun. Your heroes have likely served with each other for at least a few weeks, and know each other well enough to know any obvious details (such as Major Hindrances). Some of the crew might even be lifelong mates.
