Dark Sun chronicle
Session 02
๐ Location
Eldaarich and the Sea of Silt โ aboard a skimmer bound for the Four Towers mines, northeast of the city.
โ๏ธ What Happened
After the arena fights, the party was marched in chains along the road to the docks near Fort Holz, bound for a week of forced labour at the Four Towers gold mines.
They boarded a silt skimmer alongside 30 prisoners and a handful of guards. One figure stood out: the navigator, an unchained slave with a privileged role and an unreadable expression.
All of the party except Red were assigned to walk the wheels. They used it. By subtly tilting the skimmerโs weight distribution they created enough of a distraction to act โ and threw the first guards overboard into the silt. The revolt spread fast and turned brutal. Rams and Marek took grievous wounds. By the end, every guard was dead.
Of the 30 prisoners, roughly half chose death over whatever waited at the other end of the journey. The rest survived, wounded and hollow.
The party now controls the skimmer. The navigator is still at the wheel, unchained and silent. No one has decided where theyโre going.
๐โโ๏ธ TL;DR
- Marched to the docks and loaded onto a silt skimmer with 30 prisoners and armed guards.
- Assigned to the wheels โ used it to tilt the boat, cause a distraction, and start a revolt.
- Every guard killed. Rams and Marek badly wounded.
- Half the prisoners took their own lives. The rest survive, barely.
- The party controls the skimmer. The navigator is free but silent. No destination yet.
