Episode 6: The Summoning

Lt. McKay alerted the Wardens that there had been several attacks by the fishmen monsters down at the New Year Harbor. He gave them a quickly-drawn map illustrating the location of the assaults. Seeing they needed backup, Sir Boundless introduced the assembled heroes to two new members: his former student, the expert fencer Alistair Sebastian Codwalader Martindrake III and marksman Paul Fogg. Consulting their map, the Wardens determined that two abandoned warehouses were the most likely lairs.

Illumination

Illumination is documented on page 67 of the Savage Worlds Deluxe Edition rulebook and page 76 of the Savage Worlds Deluxe Explorers Edition. It states:

  • Dim: Twilight, light fog, night with a full moon, and so on subtract 1 from the combatants’ attack rolls.
  • Dark: Normal darkness with some ambient light (starlight, partial moon), inflicts a -2 penalty, and targets aren’t visible outside of 10″.
  • Pitch Darkness: Targets are at visible at all in pitch blackness, but if a character knows roughly where a victim is, he may be attacked at -4.

Episode 3: The Eye of Kilquato

The Wardens emerged into a clear to discover the Arch of the Crocodile, an immense, 50-ft. tall arch straddling a tributary of the Amazon. On the arch were several human men with strange, dark green skin  that seemed to be covered in scales. Leading them in an escalating chant was a priest who had similar dark green skin, but war a crocodile skull as a helm.

The subject of their chants was a prisoner who stood before a large hole in the arch. Circling below the hole, excited by the possibility of fresh meat, were hungry crocodiles.

Observing the scene was a Nazi archeologist, who had come up short at the edge of the tributary, his compatriots having been killed in a failed ambush of the Wardens.
