What do we do after we finish the rescue?
Added 2024-04-30 00:15:14 +0000 UTCFor better or worse, the party will have dealt with the grindylows and saved everyone they could save by next chapter. So… what then?
Go out of their way to loot the caverns before leaving. It risks additional injury from traps or stragglers, and you might be trapped by high tide, but these grindylows almost certainly have some treasure squirreled away here and there.
Clear out the caverns and find a safe place to rest there.
Rush back to the Man’s Promise IMMEDIATELY. They are probably under attack by ghouls!
Rush back if everyone is still capable of walking, otherwise find somewhere to rest.
Rush back after resting, wherever you do it
Go meet Aaron Ivey and rest at his house. We have been told it should be a safe resting spot at least once.
Go meet Aaron Ivey and try to recruit him now
Say fuck it to the Man’s Promise. Rowe can build us an escape boat out of leaves and wood pulp because goblin. Best to just go our separate ways and avoid conflict, even if it’ll take us a while. Have faith in our ability to hide somewhere safe and kill any ghouls that stumble across us.
Sneak Conchobar, Salyar, and the Seal of Vishgurv off the Man’s Promise, THEN say fuck it.
In the Shackles, if you can conquer an island it’s your property for as long as you can defend it. Clear out the ghoul infestation, hunt a few Ankhegs, scavenge from the nearby shipwrecks for parts, and become a petty pirate lord.
Openly tell Plugg that you’re staying on the island. He will probably be totally onboard with you doing something so unbelievably stupid.
When we get back to the Man’s Promise, prioritize getting Plugg killed in the ghoul fighting.
When we get back to the Man’s Promise, prioritize being heroic badasses leading the defense so we can openly challenge Plugg for the position of captain in the name of Besmara later.
When we get back to the Man’s Promise, prioritize getting Sosima access to Vishgurv immediately, so she can reincarnate and be less… ghoulish.
When we get back to the Man’s Promise, prioritize assassinating Plugg quietly.
When we get back to the Man’s Promise, put our faith into Plugg’s humanity, level head, and generous spirit. Surely he wouldn’t try anything in the future.
Comments
The future isn’t set in stone, but the current votes imply that Emrys will be strengthening his position by gathering treasure and allies, then start campaigning for the position of captain through constant flexing of his magical powers, success rate on missions, and ability to make money despite being on an abandoned monster infested island that can be easily crossed in a single day.

2024-04-30 21:24:56 +0000 UTCI'm all about following Besmara's ideals and being the Big Damn Pirate Lord. To that end, passing up cavern loot is a non-starter. Going back to Plugg with no gas in our magic tanks and after a tough boss fight so we're piss easy to finish off? That's a non starter too. Worst caee scenario Plugg and his loyalists are all dead and softened up the ghouls so we can take the ship and fuck off. We might lose some folks like conchobar... but to be honest, conchobar isn't really part of our core group anyways? He sat out going to get Sandara back, whatever his reasoning, and he stayed behind for the island now... not looking great in terms of his reliqv8loty
