The Story so far
Rum: A New Hope. Young, eager would-be heroes were recruited from all over the Elennian Penninsuls and arrived at the One Mile Inn outside of South Harbor to meet their contact, WLA Captain Sal Theringer. He explained that the WLA is taking an active interest in establishing the new merchant city of Rum. Rum is going to be a cooperative city by all the nations and guilds of the Elennian Penninsula and is intended to open up exploration and merchantile ventures to the west, 6 months travel across the ocean!
Before starting the city and the WLA outpost, our heroes have to GET there! And there seems to be one or more factions actively hindering that goal. First, the young heroes are involved in a brawl, then are barred from getting on thier ship, then their ship's supplies are held by a greedy merchant! But our heroes overcome all, and they sail with the Fixer Fleet!
On the ocean there are other dangers, from vengeful mermaids to storms (which scattered the Fleet) to an island inhabited by flying tentacle heads and a seaborne ambush by sahaugin. Founding a new city is difficult!

NPCs
Sal Theringer: Captain of the WLA Outpost on Rum. A human ranger: a lean, weatherbeaten and scarred warrior with longsword and handaxe on either hip. They look worn, well-cared for. Doesn't say much, but always to the point good and bad.
Artus Morindim: Navigator of the SeaSprite. A crusty halfling, in charge of the SeaSprite, and second in command of the WLA outpost in Rum after Sal. Likes to stay on the ship when in harbor.
Dhonngel: - Cabin Boy on the SeaSprite. Very exciteable and enthusiastic. Often gets into well-meaning trouble.
Bertold: Human Fixer helping the neighborhood around the WLA outpost. Always smiling and helping anyone with any labor, big or small.
Torian Silverleaf: A Fixer of Alemi and a member of the Woldian League of Adventurers. Selected by the Fixers to work with the WLA for needs of mutual assistance.
Anvil Stormrager: Chief Fixer of Rum: Tattoo of an anvil and hammer on his bald head, he is very imposing, but gentle of voice. Carries a very ornate and large adamantite vial of Woldsblood around his neck as a holy symbol. Alemi’s symbol is embossed on the front of the vial. His Dwarven’s clan’s coat of arms is on the back: The hammer and anvil.
Pursis: Stormrager’s personal Bard. Tall and skinny as a beanpole, his eyes seem to see everything at once, always moving around. His fingers always tapping or fingering the lute that hangs off of his belt. A guitar is hung on his back. It is beat up and used, but of amazing workmanship.
Carlee’s Demons: A band of adventurers who engineered a fight with the heroes when still in South Harbor. Whereabouts and motives unknown.
Scully’ s Heroes: A band of adventurers led by Scully Swiftblayde, and travel on "The Leaper", a ketch-rigged ship that is slightly faster than the SeaSprite, but can't turn as fast or sail as close to the wind.
Tarnwit- half elf Bard
Mac Allen - Ranger. Deceased
Lupo - Barbarian
Hooch - tipsy man
Tinsy - gnome with magic symbol robe
Matte'- brilliantly garbed in reds and golds
Libscomb - bear-like cleric of Domi
Hmanas: A sailor, and the first innocent death seen by the heroes. Fell to the kiss of a Batwing-Head (Vargouille) off an uncharted island during the SeaSprite's journey back to the Fixer Fleet after being blown off course by a storm.
Drys: A black spidertaur encountered in the tunnels underneath Rum. During battle it negotiated it's passage out of the conflict, but left these words as warning with regard to a mysterious group known as the Lords.
"Peace? You will not have it. But not from me. The Lords will see to that. What do I care? I care for myself! If you Swear the Oath to leave me be, I Swear the Oath to leave you, your friends, and your dirty, verming infested, goblin puke of a town in Peace as well. And don not look at me like that! Is it not true? Look at your town. I have seen cities of the poorest of my kind that are pallaces in comparison to what lies above. You can only Hope and Pray that it can hold itself together long enough to survive its first year. For enough lies above to squash your precious town even without the Lords."
The Ships in the Fleet
The SeaSprite: A Sloop, and the ship of our heroes.
The Leaper: A Ketch, and the ship of Carly's Heroes.
