Gravel: A Massive Quarry Town, built into a mountain. Once a single volcanic mountain in the middle of the Blue in the middle of the Teeth of the North a particularity dangerous straight in the middle of the northern ocean in between two major trade hubs. Upon nearing the teeth sixteen large mountains sticking out of the oceans the dangerous eddies and currents that surround the teeth become visible endangering any ship that nears. For this reason a system of pilot lights and safe zones were marked out, and if a group is seeking a quick way between the two hub towns it is suggested that a up to date map is bought. While Gravel itself is awfully secluded it has become a hub in itself, set up to deliver stone and valuable ores to the constantly growing towns that surround it, it has grown in size with more jobs appearing constantly it began to expand larger with two large ports set to receive supplies, workers and deliver loads of stone near constantly to either island. The company that owns the island Heikerson Quarry company, has become a commercial giant in itself providing stone for much of the north blue with additional lucrative financial benefits coming from a recent discovery of a seam of coal. Gravels main identifying factors as you approach is the massive city nestled at the foot of a mountain, then there are hundreds of cables and cable cars moving up and down all the sides of the mountain. The huge docks that are designed for cargo ships are directly next to the smaller docks designed for traveling vessels. Misc. Information : THE PLOT : Major overlying arc for the island. Recently, there was a massive accident after financial restraints imposed by one of the two co owners of the mine, left the active owner of the mine with major safety concerns, when eight miners working on a barely safe portion of the mine were killed in a accident, the Operator went into a rage and started a massive brawl with the financier, the two then stopped talking, and slowly the mine has began falling apart, however during this each side took a color, red and blue and the workforce began to split, those that sought money and those that were more interested in safety. The divide runs deep, and as soon as you step off the boat each side begins trying to get you aboard one of the sides. With money or a easy working environment as your selling points. A crew can decide to join in this, and complete the arc but thus more will be created. Suggested Arcs : Spoilers. The Stone Hearted : Part one of the arc is the initial part, anyone that visits the island is invited to join in with this arc. The situation is as follows, all members of a crew visiting the island will be 'head hunted' (people will seek to employ them quite frantically, offering decent pay and rewards, if the crew is low on cash the money sounds good for the work, and part time employment is a good way of getting some food and housing while ships are held in port for repairs due to local currents causing damage to the keels of them. While in the town the pirates will find themselves constantly under threat from normally unarmed and drunken groups of miners fighting each others factions. Shouts of Cheap ass , Dirty and other insults follow the blues, while Scab, Murderer and others follow the reds, referring to each factions choice of leader and motivation. If crew members decide to join opposing factions, it may lead to them being pushed into battle with each other. There are two ways that this part can end, either the crew decides to leave the island or they decide to investigate what is going on. With mysterious figures watching them, the sherrif frantically trying to keep the two factions from going to all out war, people ending up in the medical center around the clock and other situations going on the problems seem to be mounting up for a town thats about to be pushed over the edge. The Secret Stone : If a crew decides to continue on with the arc rather than leave, the situation steps up a gear, one or more of the crew members are arrested, with a rather expensive and unnamed stolen gem found in their room. The sheriff with no choice is forced to hold the members of the crew in his prison, if they decide to resist there will be a fight. [The sheriff generally tries to avoid combat, but will resort to it if threatened. He continues saying that the charges will be investigated and the imprisonment will be purely temporary.] The trail however, isn't dead Soon afterwards clues will lead the crew back to the head of either the reds or the blues, meeting with him however isn't exactly easy. And at this point a massive explosion rocks the mountain, one of the cable cars is knocked loose and there is a race against time to help save the trapped crewmen. Rage of the Traitorous : Regardless of how the rescue goes, the situation is resolved with a memorial service or the crew getting called up to meet the heads, who are arguing constantly. The two will bicker but try to maintain a rather rewarding aspect, but suspicion starts to grow after they hear about the gem, knowing the man who it was stolen from, the situation starts to get interesting as a assassination attempt is made on the heads. Strength Of Stone : A all out war breaks out in the island, the situation past critical it turns out that several important members [that had just made the attempt on the heads lives, were making a escape using the only undamaged cable car, a fast ship spotted in the docks, a race against time is made using the fastest and most dangerous mode of transportation on the island, the suicide sled. Cautious Secrets : A final battle between the crew and the group of now apparently pirates that had been organizing and leading the entire affair. |
