The Ironfang Pirate Fleet: The Rotmoons - Bonesplitterz to Ironjawz, part 2



Kapitan Alunzo da Leeva and The Rotmoons


The Rotmoon itself was a small fast wooden skyvessel with no heavy guns. It had many crudely cobbled-together and jury-rigged repairs to its hull, since the shipwreck in the Harrowmark. Its bottom was covered in barnacles and weeds, its deck was covered in filth and its sides were loaded with baggage. There was always disticntive line of red-and-yellow triangular “dags” painted along its sides, this was the only part of the ship's appearance that the crew took real pride in.

The Rotmoons may have called themselves Privateers or Pirates, but they spent more of their time acting like explorers than either. They searched the ruins of the Realms for treasures and artefacts from the Age of Myth. Their Shaman, El Doktoro, considered himself an expert on that long-forgotten era and often pronounced, with great complacency and authority, what a found treasure was or its magical powers. He was occasionally correct...

Kapitán Alunzo da Leeva was a dashing and heroic Orruk Pirate; energetic, capable and unusually quick witted. He started his career on the Almagorka Coast in Shyish, where both he and his crew acquired many strange local habits and mannerisms. He wore looted clothes with a preference for black (and lately the red-and-yellow striped trousers the rest of the crew had taken to wearing), black-and-gold enamelled armour, with a “used-to-be-white” ruff-collar, a pair of heavy pistols, and a coat draped over one shoulder as a half-cloak.

He was well liked by his crew as he got them in to, and out of, many scrapes over the years. But he was unpopular with the other ships' captains of the Ironfang Fleet - they saw him as an “upstart young pup”. He was also unfortunately prone to getting shipwrecked much more often than anyone with his skills should have been.





The Shipwrecka


The blade of Kapitan daLeeva's sword appears to be in constant motion; cerulean waves crash, silently breaking on jagged coastal rocks. While its a powerful blade, granting good luck with both wind and tide, it curses the wielder to become ever-more likely to wreck their own ship each time they have success in battle.

Add one to Kapitan daLeeva's Doom for every model he takes down during a battle. Roll a D6 after each game: If the result is less than his Doom then the Rotmoon will be shipwrecked... again!
