The Rum Swell: What Is Known

 

Merchant ship The Rum Swell, contracted to the Tellsher Consortium out of Yento. Captained by Ovaak, a well-mannered orc from Ghul. Has a lot of nonhuman crew, but they’re alright. Goblins in the rigging, Innok on load/unload, some half-orcs, some humans, some hobgoblins. It is a wildly irregular crew that the Captain manages with good grace. They’re somewhat used to more upper-crust ports, and do know how to behave themselves.

The ship has a figurehead of a curvaceous woman, carved of wood – a representation of the Green Mother. It’s a 3-mast ship, 80’ long and 20’ wide at midships. Flies the Consortium flag over a flag signifying Yento. Lots of little Ghul-centric bits all over the ship. Carries 12 cannon, 6 per side belowdecks. Full complement of capable gunners.

The Crew:

Captain Wilkis Ovaak – full orc, well-spoken and polite. Can get intimidating when he needs to.

1^st Mate Augeth Sungan– awkwardly slender goliath, 7.5 ft tall. Almost looks emaciated (for a goliath). Elder brother to Indra Sungan of the Ordo Aegis.

Quartermaster Velinn – red-skinned hobgoblin w/big beard & topknot. In charge of the helm and navigation.

Boatswain Sneg – older goblin, with a large crew of other goblins he sends up into the rigging

Carpenter Lornaal – absolutely massive human woman, muscle mommy territory. A bit more crude than the other crew, but knows her shit.

Cook – Innok cook. Can only speak simple phrases in emeric. Makes the heartiest of hearty stews. Is fully intelligent, but Innok are not physically equipped to speak proper Emeric. Is also a Witch, and takes the well-being and care of their crew quite seriously.

Has a companion, a little pine marten named Yan, which of course speaks flawless emeric.

Sammi the Surgeon – elf, former Apparati Pragmatica thaumaturge. Has several purely functional spells, including several arcane healing spells that everyone hates. But, they keep folks alive.

Also 60-80 assorted regular crew, many non-human, and many from the northern lands.
