Harrigan’s Folly -- IoEE spoilers


Skull & Shackles


Harrigan’s Folly

It began with being shanghaied
A temporary thing, he lied
When chance gave us favor
The Black Hand said "Later"

We gained our ship
On a fateful trip
We took on crew
So we could make do

Our bonds to cement
Mates of the Lament
We sailed the seas
Plundering with ease

He must be insane,
Naught else can explain
The coven he hired
Our captain they acquired

We could not then pursue
For at the race we were due
Harrigan tried to use force
On that hard course

Our new captain then led
Not caring what others said
The race to win land
For the Black Hand

When Harrigan was away
We made our play
A rescue was planned
To get the Black Hand

We gave invite
To this parasite
Our fete to partake
He chose to forsake

He did not forget
But sent his pet
An alchemist she
Who came with glee

We showed all there
In our fort fair
The Black Hand was free
For all to see

But for the main feast
She tainted the roast beast
Then at the show
Came her next blow

She enspelled a guest
Of pirate lords, the best
With such grate rage
He went to engage

Lord Sarnash attacks
With sword and axe
Many spells are cast
But few hold fast

The officers unite
Joining this fight
With spell and weapon
Against this gentleman

He is then downed
Unconscious on the ground
To bring him this low
It took a mighty blow

Soon it became known
He acted not on his own
The hunt was then on
To finish before dawn

We followed the clues
Planted to make us loose
For while we were seeking
Harrigan’s pet was sneaking

She damaged some ships
With great big rips
Did she really think
We would let them sink?

When spotted she fled
Into the sea bed
This magic we know
Like water to flow

We sought her out
The cowardly lout
We captured the spy
Only to hear her lie

We forced true words
And then we herd
Harrigan’s great plan
For the Black Hand

Now that it was known
His true colors shown
He soon will learn
Now its his turn

Some explanations of names:
Orpheus of the Black Hand is the original captain
The Lament of the Fallen is the name of our ship

I wrote this as an example of what the bards I hire are paid to deliver. This is to help our fame/infamy letting everyone know who we are and what great things we can do.

How do you all boast of your exploits?

Poetry, songs, stories, etc. are welcome.

Sadly, my group consistently failed their infamy checks. Chapter Two took a ridiculously long time as a result. I wish I'd offered bonuses for this sort of composition!


If you are still running, point them to this thread unless you are worried about spoilers. You could also send them a copy of the beginning up to the point they have finished & let them know that they can get others to aid their infamy checks. If the game is over, show them the thread and tell them that there are other ways to role play.
