4 Players 1 Crow
The doomed crew had made a bold stand. They lay, feathered thoroughly with pirate arrows. Heavily armed mercenaries and port thugs were boarding the sinking ship ready to claim their prize; a stowaway Vendhyan princess.
Conan and his companions had embarked on a ship sailing from Ahgrapur and, not two days into the voyage, the stowaway was discovered. She told a harrowing tale of escaping the relentless advances of a petty noble, the satrap of an insignificant city state.
The princess fled, using her jewelry and her charm to reach Ahgrapur. Out of jewels and out of ideas she had stolen onto the ship only to be discovered amidst the cargo. Shortly thereafter black sails appeared on the horizon. A slaver’s ship, out of Khawarism, in dogged pursuit.
The jilted suitor had spent enough money, or enough sorcery, to convince these sea dogs to spill their lives in his service. Their glazed eyes strongly suggested sorcery.
Conan quickly realized the pirates’ objective; the princess. He wrenched his sword free from a twitching pirate corpse and cursed; “The devil take that woman and my blade will take the rest!”
