The storage room

From Create Your Own Story

You cautiously enter the storage room and look around. You see row after row of weapons ranging from cutlasses and spears to pistols and crossbows, enough to equip a whole army. It is as if everyone on this ship kept their equipment in this room instead of carrying it around when at port. But maybe this is only the weapons they plundered from faraway lands. As you search the room, you cannot help but notice with puzzlement that there is not a single loaf of bread, or strip of dried meat, or even a keg of water.

There are, however, a dozen small kegs of powdered warpstone.

Warpstone! What kind of madman keeps warpstone aboard a ship? This substance is four times more destructive than black powder, and even more unstable. With such a large quantity, a single spark could cause a gigantic explosion. But simply being around warpstone is very dangerous in itself, as it is highly poisonous and has been known to cause mutations.

You notice that the kegs have wicks, as if they had been designed as projectiles or bombs. Only one of those kegs would be enough to sink a large ship. It would be very easy for you to blow the Drakenhof to smithereens.

You now have the choice to indulge in your latent pyromaniac tendencies by lighting one of the wicks and getting the hell out of that ship, or simply get out of this room.
