[Cards] Lady Phantasma's Material Anchor (Patreon)

"We need to get there by day break. Prepare the Lady," the captain barked to his first mate. "Tell the men we'll double the pay, but they'll need to decide quick 'cause we set sail within the hour."

"It's a treacherous route, Captain. Mostly unchart—"

"Dammit, Jarnik, I know! But we need risk it if we're going to beat that rotten Kremmel. We need to reach the city and be rid of this thing before he can get there and alert anyone. Sailing at night is our only option. I just hope she doesn't find us."

...

The Lady Phantasma never arrived at the Alano docks. Perhaps it was an unseen shallow reef, or a monstrous sea creature only sung of in folk tales....

But no.

What truly doomed that ship and her crew was the Captain's decision to sail into the darkness. The hag's cursed mist, made invisible by the moonless night, swallowed them, and their futures, whole.
