Masks
by Brett Bixler
The Plot
Painfully, you claw your way up out of the darkness. Hideous faces surround you, swirling about as you try to focus. Where are you? A hut of sorts, it seems...
The voyage! Memory is returning in dribs and drabs. A sea voyage to Vantanas. But the Gods and the mother of all storms conspired against you. Swept off course, you fought to survive.
Hour after hour you battled the storm. Finally, limbs numb and minds dull, you crested yet another wave to meet your doom. Another ship, helpless as you, rammed into you.
You remember being pitched overboard as your ship lurched in its deadly embrace. From above, a crew member launched a lifeboat; for you or others you could not say.
You slithered aboard just in time to see both ships disappear beneath the waves. Then came the undertow, wave after wave, and finally - darkness.
Well, you wanted adventure. The mental fog dissipates, and you realize you feel - strange, weak. You ARE in a hut, and a masked man is attending you…
Thus begins "Masks," an adventure for experienced BoE players. In it, you are shipwrecked, drugged for months, recover, then must explore an island, looking for a way off and for a missing companion. And that's just the surface story. Like a mask, the true story lies beneath...
The Adventure
The main goal is to escape the island. A second goal is to locate your missing companion. Other goals exist; it's up to you to discover them.
This scenario is designed for an experienced BoE player using a beginning party. If you are new to BoE, this scenario may be quite frustrating. You've been warned!
