As far as Doctor Spenser can tell, this is <em>just<\/em> a shark even though Mister Davino is insistent that it was a man when he shot it.<\/li>\n<li>Back at <a href=\"https:\/\/wiki.olympusrpg.org\/index.php?title=Gordon_Reade\">Mister Reade&#8217;s<\/a> hacienda, strange noises wake several members of the crew, with Sir Randel and Captain Hayden investigating first and discovering a group of arsonists trying to burn down the house! A fight ensues, with Sir Randel expertly dropping several of the foes while looking positively awesome as Captain Hayden drops one with a well-placed gunshot. Doctor Spenser enters the fray but it is already basically over at that point.<\/li>\n<li>Interrogating the survivors reveals that they were hired by &#8220;Benito the Fence&#8221; which further enrages Mister Reade. He offers to pay for the entire expedition if they can bring Benito to him.<\/li>\n<li>The following day, while Captain Hayden and Doctor Spenser plot the expedition&#8217;s route inland along with Mister Reade&#8217;s maps, Sir Randel and Leftenant Rogers seek out Benito &#8230; and easily capture him. From him they learn that he was hired by the tall, ugly man (who apparently turned into a shark and is now dead) and a woman that the crew also saw.<\/li>\n<li>The crew spend several days preparing for the expedition and, on the morning of March 1, Captain Hayden does not wake&#8230;<\/li>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\"><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><strong>Player Notes:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Down both Claude (Mel) and Davino&#8217;s (Andricus) players. Mel was out due to Herodian&#8217;s abrupt passing.<\/li>\n<li>As before, I&#8217;m actively trying to minimize these outlines to avoid writing a novel. This time I have seriously managed to trim it down!<\/li>\n<li>Nosh&#8217;s decision to have Leftenant Rogers remain aboard the ship caught the GM by surprise and forced him to take a brief intermission to recalculate some stuff.<\/li>\n<li>As we flipped over into March, Captain Hayden had to make a HT check due to Terminally Ill &#8230; and critically failed! We thought that he was going to straight up die, but evidently Gigermann had previously adjusted the Basic mechanics for the Terminally Ill Disadvantage to make it a little more &#8220;effective&#8221; during the campaign. See <a href=\"https:\/\/wiki.olympusrpg.org\/index.php?title=Campaign_Rules_(Sea_Dogs)#Revised_Disadvantage:_Terminally_Ill\">here for details<\/a>. As I understand it, Captain Hayden will lose 1 FP and his Chronic Pain is increased from mild to severe.<\/li>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\"><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>See the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.drlverseblog.com\/?p=14406\">Daniverse Blog<\/a> for the GM\u2019s post-game debrief.<br \/>\n<!--Precis - Ninth session of the second season of our GURPS: Low Tech, semi-Swashbuckler campaign as run by Gigermann.
