![]() ![]() Fine enough, he thought, when one accident led to another and a few unplanned firefights left him with 4/10 crew, crippling the ship.īut nothing could stop him. It started when he realised partway through his journey (plan: London -> Mount Palmerston -> Gaider's Mourn -> Visage note Here Visage was just south of the Abbey and Pigmote Island -> London) that while he was fine for supplies, he was a bit low on fuel to make it to Visage. He found the Brimstone Convention, you know, and sailed to the Khanate (and there he hid behind a wall to avoid a big, mean ship).Īlas, Reginald had a string of bad luck. I got around a bit, but it was really my second character Reginald (a natural philosopher after his father's bones) that I really started claiming it all, seeing everything. ![]() The first one was with my first captain, Urchin (he was an urchin). ![]() 5 now, though I've only really had two proper, emotionally affecting deaths. ![]() I bought this game a long time ago, but I've just started getting through it.
