Background[]
“ "Row, wretch!" howled an obese Man-Orc taskmaster, lashing your back with a blow from his spiked whip. Days passed and the welts on your back grew longer, as your slave-ship, the Blood Auk, headed southwards. Captained by a furious red-faced man called Kullion the Crab, the ship was sailing for the Blood Islands, for it was part of the fleet of the Chaos Pirates, who flock to those shores like seabirds to the carcass of a whale.[2] ”
Rules[]
While the adventure is set in the Fighting Fantasy world of Titan, the adventure make use of the game system created by Per Jorner for his non-Fighting Fantasy based amateur adventure Mansion of Maleficence which in turn is partly based on the game system of the Fabled Lands gamebooks.
