You thought the job would be easy. Hitch a ride on a
trading vessel, protect it from pirates, and earn a few
gold and a free trip to the City of Sails. All in a day’s
work for an adventurer like yourself. But there’s not
much your swords and arrows and spells can do against
a typhoon. You don’t remember much - the flash of light-
ning, the howl of wind, the doomful crack of the mast as
it split down the middle - but one memory stands out
perfectly in your mind.
Traveling aboard the ship was a fortune teller, an old
hag that was great aunt to the captain or something
like that. On the night before the typhoon struck, she
told your fortune, and her words are emblazoned in your
memory:
A star once fallen upon the land,
Brings sword and axe and spell at hand.
For planted deep like evil seed
It fills heart, soul, and mind with greed.
Shoulders broad and voices tiny
Ceaseless war of clashing armies.
In sleep, the beauty whispers well,
But her wormtongue song is ever fell.
A royal staff in hands upright
Shall end the long, eternal fight.
But try you might, and try you may
The star will rise another day.
----
You will play as adventurers washed up on a jungle and volcanic island, where your aims should be to survive whatever is here, and find a way to escape. And along the way, make decisions that have impact on the denizens of the island. On your path to escape, will you also be heroes, or destroyers?
You will use Open Legends to create your character at level 1. No additional ability or equipment restrictions, unlike the module this session will be based on. Only regular character creation rules for level 1.
Note that if you drop out, or become inactive for too long without notice, I'll consider you out of the game, and your character will be regarded as lost to the dangers of the island and the party won't be able to get you back. (However, if you do come back with your sheet, I'll say you stumble up with the party again.)
I expect the story to be half sand-box, half linear. That means you can choose to deviate and explore in many ways, but if you don't wish to do that, there will be a path to go on for the narrative that will be revealed bit by bit.
