Hew and TR will need luck (and some help from Jarl) to get through this one! "You know what they say about long goodbyes... they take a long time. You better get goin'!" ~ Captain Horace Saltblood

Wreckers Alley 2 - Tragedy Strikes

Hew and Tall Robert awake after an exhausting night of looting a derelict ship and dealing with a very angry Kraken. After breakfast, they find a salty old Dwarf downstairs with a proposition: A group of particularly ambitious wreckers known as Finola's Widows are working their way up the coast and creating havoc in their wake. Normally the old captain would let this slide, but they have an object that would be very dear to him in their sights. The next thing they know, Hew and TR are in the midst of a high stakes naval battle that could leave them swimming for their lives! "I did do that, didn't I? I didn't know I could cast Magic!" ~Jarl Svenson

Wrecker's Alley Part 1 - Nightmare on The Nuthatch

Hew Dankwood and Tall Robert are transporting a wagon up the Bay of Spirits toward the town of Hawkstone. However, a strong Nor'easter changes their plans and they wind up at the Kettle and Kraken Inn, the only establishment in sight. After speaking with brothers Karl and Jarl, they find that the high winds have brought in a derelict ship close to the shoreline. The loot on board should be ripe for the taking, or so it seems... "As for my mistake of a brother, I don't know how I'll ever be able to recover from this!" ~Karl Svenson

The Choking Hand - Part 2

Haunted by nightmares in the weeks since his visit to Broomswallow, Tall Robert summons Ethelda. The Duo decides to go back to Broomswallow to take care of unfinished business.

Ready to eliminate the cause of the Town's problems, the pair prepare for a showdown with Baron Feston Rundle. "The poison on the tip of my blade shall enjoy finding its way inside of you, Madam." ~Baron Feston Rundle

The Choking Hand

Two monks, an old Elf named Ethelda and a Halfling called Tall Robert, have been summoned to the smog-choked town of Broomswallow. Carts of minerals from the mines are going missing and the duo needs to get to the bottom of who or what is causing it or else the town may draw the wrath of Baron Feston Rundle. As the group begins to learn the brief history of Broomswallow, they discover there are bigger problems than a few carts of missing gems.
