The final part! Mutiny has finally broken out aboard the Leviathan (aided by a spectacularly botched persuade roll in the previous episode). Locked up in a stateroom overnight, I awaken to find the door mysteriously wide open, and the ship seemingly empty of life... but how long till the hideous...

Part three! I’m leading a small crew of sailors aboard The Leviathan, a seemingly plague-infested ship desperately making its way to the Chatham Islands in the Pacific Ocean. Even worse than the threat of plague, however, is a strange creature that is picking off the crew one by one. And, as the...
