The story begins...

The Story So Far:

As a group we have not logged all our sessions, so this will be a compilation of what has gone before.
Our cast of characters are all Humans from different points in Earth’s history. Each relates a similar story: A fog enshrouded night, the sound of a young girl pleading for help somewhere beyond the ship in the ocean. The fog lifts to different skies as night has now turned to day in the blink of an eye. Their ships are stuck fast in a Sargasso sea. The ruins of other ships from different times also held fast by the floating kelp and bio-mass can be seen piled about them. Each character in turn finds that they are alone on their vessel, all other crew have vanished. Soon they are taken from their ships by scrounging pirates looting the refuse for slaves and trade goods.
A week has passed since each player is taken aboard the slaver ship. They come to realize that they are no longer on Earth, and that Humans are not the only species aboard. Suddenly, one afternoon the ship is attacked by a flock of razor wings! The Razor Wing attack leaves the slavers in chaos. The players are able to gain control of the boat with the help of other slaves they have made friendships with. The slavers are defeated, only the captain and his first mate are left alive. Our players decide to take him up on his offer of ransom. The slave captains claims that good money will be paid for him if they take him to Brigandy Bay. A dispute arises from the now free crew. Half the rescued slaves wish to push on to Brigandy Bay, the other half wish to take up pirating on their own. A quick council leaves half the crew back at the Sargasso sea to find another ship to make sea worthy while our crew continues on to Brigandy Bay.
At Brigandy Bay, the slaver captain makes good on his word and delivers a sack of coin to our now elected captain Liliana Leigh (played by Michelle). As the players attempt to leave, the slaver reveals himself as the son of the islands mayor and tasks the local guards to apprehend the crew. Liliana makes a break for it with the pouch of coins, leaving her companions behind. She makes for her vessel to hide within a barrel to loose her pursuers. Meanwhile the crew have been taken to the governors mansion where they are treated to a fine meal and offered a deal. Liliana is brought in shortly afterward by town guards, still in her barrel she is summarily dumped at the dining table. Liliana and her crew are made the following offer: “Find out what is causing our world to sink and we will send you all back to your own times.” The crew is given a small boat, provisioned and a small amount of coin. Three Russian trappers are found in a local bar that will also accompany the PCs. Our characters now have a ship and a goal!
