Voyage of the Unsinkable II, the overview




Several months after the marooned Garrick and Aias made landfall at the colony of Double-Cross, they join forces with a gang of misfits, Cole, Artemis and Helene.  The party’s patron Mayor Savage has them investigate strange occurrences on the Island of Double Cross.

One thing leads to another and the gang thwart a scheme to infest the Island with stirges and then a diabolical plan to unleash a zombie plague on the Island.  The party make a lifelong enemy of the mysterious Necromancer, Gruel, who's plans the party scuppered. 

Gruel, annoyingly handsome and disgustingly rich has designs on destroying the settlement of Double Cross.  His black heart yearns for revenge, he must be stopped.

Searching for more knowledge of the elusive and sinister Gruel to gain an edge, the party joined by the barbarian Susquehanna charter the Unsinkable II and set sail into the dangers of the Blight, a fog bound sea that no sane sailor will journey into.  They seek out the Reader of the Dead, a seer long forgot, who dwells on the haunted Isle of Golgoleth.

From Golgoleth, the Unsinkable II sails to Stone Tooth, a jagged rock of an Island where they battle with a tribe of orcs squatting an abandoned dwarven forge.  Laden with treasure froma successful raid the Unsinkable II turns for home but is caught by a terrible storm and blown back into the Blight.

Adrift, mast broken, sails rendered useless by lightning the Unsinkable II is inexorably pulled deeper into the Blight by the cursed currents of that foul sea.
