Mythic GM emulator. I have decided to swap from MUNE to Mythic. I have never used Mythic before, I thought its time I did. Should be an interesting learning experience for me.
I use Nightcafe Studio to generate some of the images used in my posts as well as free images from Pixabay. On occasions I may used my own art.
And that’s about it except that I may take inspiration from other games, books and online RPG sited.

Back on the Hundred Seas.

Chaos Factor 4 (dropped from 5 because they got out of Zfonroon easily and the sea voyage has been plain sailing).

The small ship has 14 days supplies for four people on board, With five and a cat to feed food will run out in 11 to 12 days. The party decide to sail up the coast of the Land of Fur and Steel until they can fine a safe port to enter and resupply for the final leg of the journey. Tilly and Moonwane rest a lot and recover all lost hit points. Karintha seems excessively sombre and quiet, speaking little to anyone. Farhad and the Bandit do most of the work on the ship, navigating it up the coast. They manage to stay well clear of any other vessels as they head towards a safe port.

Is the scene altered in any way? d10 = 3

As the party approach the shimmering coast and the sun begins to set, a stunning golden yacht comes into view, gliding effortlessly and swiftly through the crystal-clear water. The golden yacht quickly catches up to small sailing ship and pulls alongside.

Question. Is there anyone onboard the golden yacht? Likely. d100 = 21, Yes.

An Eldritch woman of otherworldly beauty stands at the helm, her golden gown flowing in the wind. Her melodious voice greets the adventures, inviting them to step aboard the Golden Swan and embark on a journey of opulence and secrecy

Question. Can Farhad sense magic on the ship? 50/50. d100 = 24. No.

Moonwane thanks her and explains that they are on their own journey of some importance and simply seeking a port where they can resupply their provisions so they can continue on their way.

Question. Does the Eldritch woman know of a port nearby? Very Likely. d100 = Yes (though just).

The Eldritch lady smiles back at Moonwane, “indeed. We to seek supplies. Our charts show a port a few leagues north from here called Claywind. Follow us. We will lead you there. Think about my offer though, you are all welcome to join my ship”.

Question. How many hours does it take them to reach Claywind? roll d4+1 = 2.
Question. Do they encounter anything during those two hours?50/50. d100 = 08. No.

After a journey of about 6 nautical miles along the coastline of the lands known as Fur and Steel, they glimps the busy port of Claywind. They follow the Golden Swan into the port and are able to dock next to the beautiful ship. Night is almost upon them and the owner of the Swan invites them all to her yacht for a meal. Tilly, Moon and Farhad all agree to join the small crew of the golden ship for food.

Question. Does the bandit leader go abord too? Unlikely. d100= 71. No.
Question, Does Karintha join the others onboard the Golden Swan? 50/50. d100 = 7.Exceptional Yes.

The bandit leader thanks the captain for her kind offer but declines, saying he has things to tend to on his ship. Karintha after days of hardly speaking becomes very excited about the prospect of dining on the Golden Swan and is the first to board the stunning ship.

Question. Does Karintha recognise the captain of the Golden Swan? 50.50. d100 = 84. Yes.
Question. does The captain of the Golden Swan know Karintha? 50/50/ d100 = 91. Exceptional Yes.

Aboard the Golden Swan, a great feast the like of which Tilly and Moonwane have never seen is laid before them. The ships crew of three join the captain and her guests.

At the start of the meal the captain introduces herself as Aurelia Goldfinch. Karintha turns to face Aurelia, “somehow I know of you, you are part of who I am, you and this ship are important to my future”.

Aurelia tries to answer Karintha to the best of her understanding, “we are the last few of our kind on this planet Karintha but you are the one with the power to lead us to our true home. I have sailed the hundred seas in search of you, now you are found and safe whilst within this ship. You must stay here and find your true powers, your friends are welcome here too”.

Moonwane speaks, “We are charged with taking Karintha to a place of hiding and safety, how do we know this is that place, that you are the one to keep her safe”?

Karintha answers “I know. I know this is where my destiny begins. I know I am meant to be here. You have protected me and brought me here Moonwane. I want you to stay here with me. Tilly, your life is in danger, on this yacht we will all be safe, I know it to be true”

Tilly and Moonwane decide to spend the night on the bandit leaders little ship and think things over. Farhad decided to stay with Karintha on the Golden Swan so should anything go wrong he can let Moonwane know.

When Tilly, Moon and the bandit leader awake the following morning, the Golden Swan, its captain and crew along with Karitha and Farhad are gone.

Tilly, Moonwane and the bandit leader look out over the side of the little ship at the open water, “What now for you?” Moon asks the bandit.

“Claywind seems a pleasant place, I may stay a while see what life here is like, and for you?”

Tilly responds, “Well, we are never going back to Jundarr, to unsafe”.

Moonwane strokes the head of the little black and white cat wrapped around his shoulders, “Our journey is a long one and the next leg starts in the land of Fur and Steel, where it will end, who knows”.

A little spirit butterfly appears in front of Tilly and Moonwane, it seems to beckon them to follow it.
