Twenty-third Session (12 page pdf) – “Bloodcove” – After some hijinks in the city of Bloodcove, the PCs take a job going upriver into the darkest Mwangi to protect the East Indian Trading Company – I mean Aspis Consortium – against cannibal natives – I mean cannibal elf natives. They even have tails, we hear.
As usual I like saving myself the heavy lifting by using some of the thousands of dollars of gaming gear I’ve bought, so I sourced Bloodcove from both Heart of the Jungle and River of Darkness, the latter of which is their next adventure! After screwing around (literally and figuratively) in town, they head upriver on a riverboat for a Heart of Darkness type encounter with the Ekujae elves, since they may as well make some money while their ship is in drydock, and they want to go find a friend of Mitabu’s who knows about some ancient flying city that sounds lucrative.
This is their first true venturing into the African-type jungle of the Mwangi Expanse, so I did a bunch of both factual research and movie-type-inspiration research to try to make it super different and memorable. Sleeping sickness, here they come!
