Jhelom, Trammel, Chesapeake (PaxLair Times) – October 10, 2011 – by Ashlynn – A few weeks ago, the remains of the Poseidon’s Fury was finally located half-buried on a sandy beach in Ilshenar. Though the hull of the ship was mostly intact, it had been overrun by all manner of foul creatures and a lengthy battle ensued between expedition volunteers and the denizens that dwelled within the dark decks.
The ship was eventually liberated from from the beasts and the remains of the wreck brought back to the waters of Britannia where it was painstakingly restored by the shipwrights of Jhelom.
A few days ago, the vessel was finally unveiled to the public in all it’s restored glory. As we were about to be taken aboard to see the renovated interior, an unwelcome guest made his appearance.
Calling himself “The Rat King”, this rat man distracted the crowd with a horde of sewer rats before clambering aboard the ship. He then summoned several more powerful rat-like creatures to keep everyone occupied while he went about securing the ship, proclaiming it his own.
It took everyone present quite some time to cut through the rodent horde that now occupied the ship. Eventually, the vessel was once again liberated from the clutches of evil (or mischief in this case) in a final battle against the King of rodent royalty.
The vessel now lies at anchor in Jhelom, wholly within the hands of the crown once more. Access to the decks below is still possible via the hold should any wish to view the restored vessel.
