Preparing for Pirate Borg

Ahoy, adventurers!

Prepare to set sail on a perilous journey to the enigmatic Dark Caribbean with me. As an avid game master, I've traversed countless realms, guiding intrepid adventurers through thrilling campaigns. Among them, the haunting world of Mörk Borg holds a special allure. Its charm lies not only in the game's mechanics but also in the boundless opportunities to infuse rich narratives with historical intricacies.

In this upcoming session, I aim to immerse my players in a swashbuckling tale of pirates desperately striving to stave off the apocalypse that threatens their world. I intend to meld colonial history with the mystical, concocting a heady brew of fantastical elements that will challenge the very essence of hope for our playable characters. Embracing the spirit of Mörk Borg, I seek to create an enthralling experience that will leave a lasting mark on each participant.

So, prepare yourselves for a voyage like no other – one where the boundaries between reality and the arcane blur, and where the fate of our characters hangs by the thinnest thread. Steadfast in the face of darkness, we will delve into uncharted waters, braving the unknown together.

Chapter 1: And The Wretched Exalted

A group of wretched religious fanatics is taking over the Old Stone Church in Havana. An occult influence is speculated. This is the prompt to prepare for session/chapter 1.

The Wretched is a cult with Eldritch ambitions. It is a society that hides in plain sight among sailors and townsfolk. This opens up the opportunity to explore the possibility that the mayor and some of his occultist people are behind this takeover of the Old Stone Church.

The Importance of the Old Stone Church

Why would the Wretched do such a drastic takeover of this old church? I believe the perfect relic to be housed in the temple would be the missing pages from the Necronomicon. The Ancient Relics portion of the book says: Pages from the Necronomicon: 'All creatures that can hear your voice test DR14 or lose d4+SPIRIT HP (ignore armor).

The Wretched is planning to use the pages to sacrifice the Catholic church followers, taking their souls to their altar at the Abyss and offering them to The Great Old One when the end of days is upon them. The priest of the church has been missing. This could lead to a possible hunt to find the elites behind the disappearance of Father Pio. Is he maybe dead? I believe we will uncover the truth in our thrilling journey.
