The Plague Ship
Summer of 1231 - Adventure 37
While the magi are traveling to Damietta, Theoclymenus and Europa, the daughter of Charis, wait behind in the levantine city of Ascalon. They are confronted there by a mysterious faerie who is the captain of a mysterious ship from whence a supernatural plague spreads into the city. This faerie turns out to be an old acquaintance from Thessaloniki and the White Island, the one who impersonated Eric d'Ancelin back then. They manage to escape from his trap, not without noticing that his behaviour has changed strangely.
Participants:
- Europa
- Theoclymenus
Note: This was a one-shot we played because only two players could make it to this session. The player who plays Charis played her daughter Europa in this session. The other player played his usual companion, Theoclymenus, whom we retroactively decided was accompanying them in the journey and was left behind to care for Europa when they crossed into Egypt. The faerie was the one who took the role of Eric d'Ancelin back in adventure #15 (Return to White Island), who is slowly becoming cognizant after its brief stunt in adventure #16 (The Fall of Thessaloniki).
