[QUOTE="Eltab, post: 7543360, member: 6803337"] A ship has struck a reef and sunk in shallow water. Most of the crew escaped. The Captain made his way to a nearby port, and is looking for help to salvage what he can. You can keep the cargo in the hold, but he wants his Navigator's Tools and some personal mementos from his cabin. Your Captain is inclined to help an old friend. Sub-plots: - creating a small craft with a block-and-tackle that can haul up cargo crates and "treasure chests" - hauling stuff out of the wreck and into the salvage boat - the wreck was not an accident: there was a traitor on the sunken boat. He survived / didn't? He is part of a larger cabal / solo? - natives on the island have a strict NO TRESPASSING policy - an undead or two of the lost crewmen haunt the wreck. For good or for ill or to protect their ship - secret cargo: crate full of magic items. The wreck's Captain is looking for them, too, but will not spill the secret. - some of the crew of the sunken ship come along, and get "proprietary" beforehand about the salvage - invite the players to be creative with their ideas and resources. (Maybe an [I]Unseen Servant[/I] could help tie ropes around sunken crates?) - electric eel or other fishies have moved into the wreck - what was in the cargo that could survive a bath in salt water? What would not? [/QUOTE]
