Just wondering if anyone has taken the time to plot out the route the Wormwood takes after leaving Port Peril?
I know it may not be needed but something in me would like to have an idea of where the Wormwood roughly is through out the trek after leaving Port Peril until they find the Man's Promise.
Partly because I expect to have a new player / PC joining the group in the next couple sessions and it may come up in the process of getting him on board the Wormwood.
I know that on Day 11 they end up somewhere off the Slithering Coast, but have not seen a lot of specific location references beyond that.
Thanks

I have new players come in and out all the time. I just quickly run them through day 1 for dramatic affect.
To answer the question though, I figure they must have travelled through the channel in order to get to the Slithering Coast. That is the problem, there isn't a lot of places to add a crewman to the Wormwood without presuming they weren't aboard from Port Peril. I just find it easier to rerun the process of being shanghaied, beaten, witnessing a keelhauling and being whipped for the slightest infraction. It does tend to put them in fear of an early mutiny.
Started out with the PCs being picked up north of the westernmost islands (close to where their previous pirating ship had been sunk).... They know there were cannibal and undead ridden islands south of them, so where actually glad to be picked up.
Used the map to assume the Wormwood travelling around 40 miles/day (30+2D10 miles) eastward, zig- zagging in the hope to pickup further prey (ships), just marking the map with daily markers. not that the players actually cared much about the direction travelled, since they were mostly busy surviving aboard.
