Hidden 来自 where you are, you spy a shape emerging 来自 the mist over the horizon, large yet sleek; the unmistakable silhouette of a ship. But this one isn't like any ship you've ever seen — bearing neither sails nor oars, it cuts through the icy water against the waves nevertheless, smashing through floating ice and debris with a reinforced hull to reach the 邪教徒.
During Winter Wolf, you and Gweyr track down a ship being operated by the Demon Cult. Spying an open gunport, Gweyr 用途 grappling hooks to help hoist your 群体 up into the ship. Your mission is to quietly explore the ship, gaining critical intelligence and resources for the next stage of the 任务 without being detected by the 邪教徒.
"It's a 贝尔哈兰 warship. A destroyer, to be exact... These ships were part of the 贝尔哈兰 fleet that accosted my homeland. They were made to escort the heavier vessels... I also boarded one for this land to serve my task. I believe there are a couple specimens on display in museums in the capital... either way, Gweyr is right in that they do not move by oar or sail, but rather a curious device within the center of the ship that propels it through the water."

You only have so much time to explore the belowdecks of the 邪教徒 ship before the 恶魔 on deck smell a rat and come down to 调查. Having some resources and 同伴 may help you save time; conversely, lacking resources and attempting to interact with the situations you find within the ship will likely take more time. You will likely not have long enough to go through every single interactable and come out ahead, so decide wisely as to where you should go and what you should do in order to find as many clues and discover as many resources as you can that will aid you in the inevitable confrontation to come.
The ship operates on a three strike system. Taking certain actions or failing checks leads to you incurring a Strike, and once you hit the third strike, you have to make your escape 来自 the ship as the 恶魔 come below deck to 调查. Once the dungeon ends, you will not have another 概率 to access the 法师-Ship and access the rewards.
Points of Interest
Arbalest Deck
The deck where you slipped into the ship by, the side lined with gunports and braces for what in the past would have been a number of arbalests for firing upon 其他 ships. Or at least, that's what the stories say... these days, the know-how required to put together crossbows, let alone those of such size, has been lost to much of the world. Some knowledge still lingers, for example in Khor'minos, but in the absence of 武器 and the people to man them the deck's been converted into a makeshift cargo hold.
The Arbalest Deck is where you enter the ship, and where you can go to make your exit when you feel like you're done. However, there is 否 benefit to escaping the ship before you're forced to, so only do this if you're sure you've explored everything you want to.
- Leave: You've scoured the inside of the ship as best as you can or as much as you dare. Time to get out of here.
Crew Quarters
Mostly empty crew quarters, with only a couple of bunks showing signs of having been lived in. That there are actual bunks to begin with, and furniture beyond the couple of lockers here and there — old as the fittings may be, it really goes to show how ostentatious the Belharans could afford to be that they could give even their sea dogs comparative luxury even on a warship. There's a ladder and hatch here that leads up to the deck, firmly sealed shut — and a good thing, too, since you'll have plenty of warning should someone decide to make a sweep of the ship's interior.
South of the entrance, the Crew Quarters are the main intersection of the ship. There is a check here, as you and Gweyr try to silently knock out the sleeping 邪教徒 so they remain asleep during your infiltration. This check is unavoidable.
| Requirement | Result |
|---|---|
| 勇者 has >=70% Agility | 邪教徒 successfully incapacitated |
| Etheryn or Quintillus in 队伍 | 邪教徒 successfully incapacitated |
| 无 of the above | 邪教徒 makes noise before being incapacitated, +1 Strike |
Cargo Hold
The ship's cargo hold proper. Unlike the arbalest deck, this space actually has goods in it — over half of which are empty barrels. The rest are wrapped up in hides in an attempt to waterproof them — you'll need to open them up to examine the contents. The lot is clearly the product of an organized mind, with barrels stacked, goods sorted, and plenty of room 之间 each pile so that nothing spontaneously catches 火焰. You'd have thought that these were provisions and resupply for the 邪教徒 outpost, but that doesn't make sense; they'd have been unloaded earlier if that were the case.
West of the Crew Quarters. The Manifest in this room provide a hint for the Abyssal Depths, while there are Goods available to loot if you're quick enough to avoid taking too much time.
- Manifest: Maybe if you knew where all this stuff was coming 来自, you'd have an idea of what kind of resources Tollus has at his disposal.
- Goods: Inspect the ship's cargo.
- 否: You're here to look for clues as to Tollus' activities, not engage in petty theft of common 物品.
- 是: It can't hurt. Utilize the enemy's resources against him, as the great Macah strategist once wrote...
| Requirement | Result |
|---|---|
| 勇者 has >=70% Cunning | 5x Winterstem and 5x Brazenberry Ale looted |
| 无 of the above | 5x Winterstem and 5x Brazenberry Ale looted, but delay causes +1 Strike |
This space on the ship boasts a large, wood-grated window that lets what 轻型 there is pour in — not much at the moment thanks to the mist conjured up by the 鹰身女妖, but still enough to see by. Maps, charts, and 其他 navigational materials lie upon shelves, and there's a golden sextant upon the table — of course, upon further inspection, it's just bronze that has a very similar shade to that of gold...
East of the Crew Quarters. The Logs in this room provide another clue for the Abyssal Depths, while the Maps give general information on the cult's activities. Neither option risks causing a penalty.
- Logs: Maybe the ship's log might reveal something useful in where this ship's been and where it's going.
- Maps: The maps and star charts look pretty old. Are these even in use today?
Engine Room
The heart of the ship — a constantly thrumming abomination of pipes fashioned 来自 some kind of silvery 金属, the same color as that of Kasyrra's axe. The tubes snake away out 来自 a glass-encased pedestal set in the middle of the chamber before disappearing into the wooden panelling of the room. Arcane symbols 戒指 the dias on which the pedestal sits, and beginning to even try and comprehend what they mean is a flat 否-go for you. Maybe someone else might know...
South of the Crew Quarters. The Pedestal offers an inviting mystery, as you've never encountered anything like whatever 技能 this ship before. However, allowing yourself to be drawn in like a moth to the flame could prove deadly...
- Pedestal: Examine the black orb on the pedestal as closely as you dare.
- 否: This is too dangerous and you don't know if there's anything concrete you can get out of this. It's time to back away before you wind up doing something you'll regret.
- 是: Getting closer to the ship's engine while it's running might be dangerous, but it might reveal something about what Tollus and his goons are capable of, if you have the knowledge to glean some insight 来自 it. (causes +1 Strike. Being a 法师 and having Cait or 一名贴身护卫 in 队伍 gives more information, but does not change the outcome. )
Captain's Cabin
The captain's cabin of this ship — simply furnished, with the same mark of a tightly-run and orderly mind that's dominated the rest of the belowdecks you've explored so far. The wooden bed is perfectly made despite the slightly musky smell rising 来自 the sheets implying that it's been slept in, 否 book is out of place on the standing desk in a corner, and if what you've seen of the ship so far has been clean, this cabin is absolutely spotless. Clearly someone obsessed with neatness, at any rate... which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but to this degree? The entire room is so perfect despite the constant rocking of the ship, it's unreal.
The farthest south room. Before you can enter, you're faced with a locked door. To access any of the resources within, you'll have to find a way past. Arona is not especially helpful in any of the following checks, but letting her 'stealth' the obstacles does lead to funny results.
- 是: A lock means there's something on the 其他 side of the lock that the owner thought was worth protecting. Let's see what you can do about getting in...
- 否: This may be the end of the line, so you don't want to commit this early. You'll 头部 on back when you're finished with examining the 其他 rooms.
| Requirement | Result |
|---|---|
| 勇者 is Thief | Door opened quietly |
| Quintillus in 队伍 | Door opened quietly |
| Arona in 队伍, Quintillus not in 队伍 | Door opened loudly, causing +1 Strike |
| 无 of the above | Door opened loudly, causing +1 Strike |
Once you're in the room, you're faced with a number of options but (potentially) are running low on strikes. The Cupboard offers the greatest 奖励 for the Abyssal Depths, although the Lockbox contains a 独特物品 as well and the Liquor Cabinet looks tempting.
- Desk: There's not much here, but maybe...?
- Lockbox
- 是
- 否
- Liquor Cabinet: A drink couldn't hurt, could it?
- Easel: Someone has done... art?
- Cupboard: This ornate wall cupboard looks suspicious. Perhaps investigating further might be worth it.
