Upon the shore is the scattered remains of the ship's crew and vessel. There's not much left of the powerful ship, bits of the hull lining the shore. Most of the metal or anything with weight seems to be lost within the confines of the ocean. Some of the not so lucky crew lie upon the water presumably dead or close to it. A few are gathered up upon the beach, taking stock of what just happened a few moments before.
A monstrous creature emerged from the murky depths much larger then the ship. Even with the cannons billowing out with their payloads it didn't stop the beast. It ripped into the vessel, tearing it apart. A few unlucky passengers are engulf within its mouth, swallowed hole. The ship exploded moments later. Within moments the ship was nothing more then debree and the creature slips down into the water. All is silent.
Yet some survived. Where is the captain? The other members of the crew? Some who survived are passengers, some are members appointed by the King and country to establish order and the captain allowed it.
So the adventure has begun but not as planned....
