Felkirk’s Boat Problem

Now for the next Zine of the year I present, in single page zine format, Felkirk’s Boat Problem. I still believe that these provide DMs a lot more freedom to tinker with it how they want and open up the adventures to be more free formed and flowing than the larger booklet zines.

There is references to the blog nights which are D&D centric but it can easily use the adversary stat-blocks highlighted in Friday nights post if you’re running Daggerheart. As always Kobold fight club can be used to quickly balance an encounter for Dungeons and Dragons and Tetra-cube provides the stat-blocks for many of my D&D creatures.

So I hope you enjoy this weeks adventure, Felkirk’s Boat Problem, and that all your rolls are made with advantage.

The brief quiet that had settled over Felkirk’s merchant quarter vanished with the rising smoke from the docks. Where once the sounds of waves and creaking wood dominated, now came the crash of fire and the screams of the dying. Rumours spread quickly that a demon-crewed ship had arrived, tearing through vessels moored at the harbor and unleashing untold horror on the workers below. As flames rose into the night, it became clear this was not a passing nightmare but the next phase of a larger invasion.

Upon reaching the docks, the truth surfaced. These were no fiends from another plane, but highly trained warriors clad in terrifying armour. They struck with purpose, gathering what they could from the burning city and loading it onto a massive galley anchored in the bay. The dock front had become a war zone. Patrols swept the area and cut down anyone who lingered. The invaders were not just attacking, they were taking control.

Retreating to reassess their path, the party was drawn upward by a flicker of movement and a whispered voice. There, crouched in the shadows of a rooftop, was a broad-shouldered rigger named Bunker. Resourceful and determined, he had transformed his knowledge of the dock machinery and rooftop passages into a network of resistance. Inside his hideout, surrounded by scavenged gear and crates, he laid bare the scale of the occupation and offered a vantage point to plan from.

From above, the group watched the flow of bodies and cargo between the galley and the docks. Rowboats moved like clockwork, ferrying supplies and captives under the watchful eye of deck commanders. The galley’s ballistae loomed ominously, tracking every boat with machine-like vigilance. As the hours passed, the soldiers extended their grip deeper into the city. When a nearby ship exploded in a burst of fire and screams, the party knew the time for observation was over. The heart of the enemy lay floating in the bay, and it had to be dealt with.

Down below, the docks burned and bled. Shadows danced across the waves as soldiers hauled their spoils along the last intact pier. The stolen goods were hidden under covered boats, their purpose uncertain but undoubtedly foul. Felkirk would not survive the night if that galley remained untouched. The only question now was whether the party could strike before their rooftop refuge became the next casualty of war.
