The Saltmarsh Register - Vol 1.13

The Saltmarsh Register is the in-game newspaper I invented for the Ghosts of Saltmarsh game I run online every other Saturday. It is reprinted here to give others a taste of how that game has developed. WARNING, it may have spoilers for the Ghosts of Saltmarsh adventure, though I have deviated a bit from the published module.

THEFT MOST FOUL!

A dwarf named Morley Tobe, briefly employed by Copperlocks Mining, has apparently stolen items of great value from Davus Raal, as well as robbing a cart laden with offerings for the Temple of Procan in Saltmarsh. Davus Raal is offering a reward for information leading to the capture of Tobe, and has already personally replaced the estimated value of the offerings meant for the temple. Tobe was apparently last seen in Seaton searching for a ship that would take him on as crew.

THE KING ILL!

King Kimbertos Skotti has fallen ill with the sickness sweeping through Niole Dra. He is being attended by the best healers and clerics in the kingdom, but all true citizens of Keoland should keep our beloved monarch in their prayers.

PRIMEWATER MANSION TO BECOME PUBLIC PROPERTY

Dulcinea Gideon has informed the Town Council that she intends to sign over Primewater Mansion, which she inherited, to the town of Saltmarsh starting in Needfest 571. The Town Council has not yet indicated how it will be decided what will be done with the mansion.

FISHING TIDBITS

Fishing is beginning to recover after the devastation of the Hangman’s Storm, though there are wild rumors of ghost ships sailing the Azure Sea, sailed by crews sunk during the tempest.
