Knee-deep in Debt

Sometimes you win some, sometimes you lose some… And sometimes you lose a lot, much more than you can afford. We owe a hefty sum to Fortune Wilde, the owner of The Gambling Den, and she intends to get her due.

  • We enter the Whale Graveyard and start looking for the skull… The feeling of dread is almost suffocating.
  • We finally spot a great skeleton, much larger than any other. Could it be the remains of the Elder Whale?
  • As we approach the skeleton, the sea itself begins to swirl… It’s like something is trying to drag us into the depths!
  • Whales! They are circling us, creating the maelstrom. We have to escape this trap before it’s too late! Fire at will! Scare them off!
  • We bring the Elder Whale’s skull aboard our ship. We don’t stay a moment longer.
  • The whales are trying to prevent us from getting the skull, and so far they are succeeding!
