LONDON in AWE of Marvellous Contraption! CITY turns out to witness Amazing Zubmersible Ship! Anonymous Owner DEFIES Scientific Predictions!
Throughout the streets of the Wolfstack Docks, crowds have gathered, flocking to see the mechanical wonder many had believed to be impossible. For months, rumours that a well-regarded shipwright had been crafting in secret a revolutionary vehicle had been rife, but unconfirmed. Now, defying the word of the best scientific minds of the age, and even the quiet predictions of the Masters, Messrs Montague and Cristoph have revealed the single greatest craft of the mechanical age: a ship capable of travelling BENEATH the waves of the Unterzee, a miraculous ‘Zubmarine’.
Funded and designed by an as-yet unknown third party, the Ahab’s Revenge will attempt to demonstrate beyond any shadow of a doubt that it is the future of both luxury and utility by making a full 5-week navigation of the Southern Archipelago with 30 guests of all Classes and Social Rank, containing within its hull everything from a full library to staterooms and even its own coterie of private security. In spite of claims that the ship would suffer ‘catastrophic disaster’ the moment it attempted to submerge, the offices of the aforementioned shipwrights have been swamped with requests.
The reasons for the sudden rush have been well placed, with the departure date less than a week away. Under the command of the legendary Captain Ismarck, the Revenge will depart not a moment later than twelve noon on Sunday…
((Looking for a minimum of 5 players to join in this intrigue-styled game. I’ll make play turn-based as best I can, and everyone will be involved in this to some degree. And to add a little more excitement, one person will receive a message on their forum account, putting them right at the centre of the mystery…have fun…))
