Rising Sun: Issue 5

The Memory of Haakon

10

The captain exhales briefly and falls to the deck, quite dead. After the captain expires, you stare around, daring any of the crew to challenge your new leadership. Standing there, the crew stays silent, waiting for something to happen, it seems.

Reld, the first mate gasps, and points behind you where Mosk's body lies. Turning around you notice that Mosk is beginning to move once again. Curiously it seems that the captain somehow is miraculously coming back to life.

You solve this slight dilemma with a quick kick of your foot. Shoving his body overboard the body falls into the sea, floating briefly and then sinking below the waves and out of sight.

'Long live the Drakkar!' Shouts Reld, accepting you as the new captain. The rest of the crew follows suit and soon you are the new captain of the crew. Putting up your weapon you order for the sails to be placed into the wind and sail full speed toward the Lakuri Isles. The crew jumps to respond to your commands and you are underway.

Turn to 31.
