Going to be mapping out the event here. Murphy's Law dictates it may not go as planned, which is absolutely okay.
The Sabretooth is equipped to kill the kraken in case the player party is not. They can do this in three ways:
If the party does not have the means to return, The Crawdad's Revenge will arrive to retrieve them, be it by taking on the players from their stranded ship, or finding survivors in the wreckage. Depending on the reactions by players mentioned previously, the reward may still be given.
- Prologue: Anchors Aweigh
- Part 1: Rival Contact
- If the player party keeps their boat alight during the night, they will be greeted by a projectile gunpowder keg, detonating in the water near the boat. More will follow as the distance closes. Determined by reactions, they may keep firing but will always close the distance. If an end to firing is not warranted, the steer of the ship is responsible for keeping the player vessel from being hit. If it is done poorly, the ship will be struck, and players afflicted by a blast radius will have to roll for the severity of injury with a modifier.
- If not alight, the player ships will roll for stealth, changing how the encounter proceeds. If they succeed, the crew of The Sabretooth will not see them, and will appear to battle the kraken after the players do. If they fail, the ship will notice them and reaction 1. will occur.
The Sabretooth is equipped to kill the kraken in case the player party is not. They can do this in three ways:
- The goring ram on the front of the ship, meant not to actually ram, but to rend the flesh of the beast and pierce other ships.
- The onboard catapult + powder kegs/explosives can fling at the beast with a lit fuse. Using the crank on the deck will become mandatory to move the items up for use as projectiles. It cannot be aimed directly forward or backward without thrashing through and igniting the masts of the ship.
- Detonating the entire ship in proximity to the beast. This is something the initial crew is not like to do, but after the battle with the player party complicates, it becomes a possibility for the aforementioned player party. Heroic in it's martyrdom.
- Part 2: Coming of Storm's Kraken
- Epilogue/Conclusion
If the party does not have the means to return, The Crawdad's Revenge will arrive to retrieve them, be it by taking on the players from their stranded ship, or finding survivors in the wreckage. Depending on the reactions by players mentioned previously, the reward may still be given.
