| '''The Mystery''': Marwan Abd-al-Aziz is in town, a high level investigator from [[The Seven Cities|the Seven Cities,]] the federal entity that claims Al'Adeaf (and 6 other cities) as part of a greater union. One week ago, records show a group of Mercanti brought in a caravan, their camels carried in a massive cloaked object, customs guards don't seem to recall what it was, but say the Mercanti had a strange accent. That group left a few days later, without the object. | | '''The Mystery''': |

|
| Two days ago, a merchant named Majid-Al-Din entered Al'Adeaf via train, with a private compartment full of goods to sell. Witness testimony revealed he bribed the inspections guards, who say now that he also had a large covered item. The bribed guards were paid well, and Marwan recovered one of the coins, showing that it was over 1000 years old, from the "[[Merca|Empire of Merca"]], a phrase often used by the ancient [[The Serpentine|Serpentine]] people.

| '''The Mystery''': Since Zelda Brandt was only 7, she knew she wanted to get married on "[[Darkson Princess|The Princess]]", a cruise ship now owned by [[Dark Sons|DarkSon Industries]] that sails through deserts like they were oceans. Its luxuries meant the most extravagant wedding and honey-moon could be celebrated back-to-back. Last Cruise-Season, she took your first trip on The Princess, and got to know and meet some of the staff. They were excited to hear she'd be booking again next year. But flash forward to this year, and some of them, especially resident physician ''Dr. Coombs'' have not been so excited. Rumors say there have been recent deaths while abroad, and that might explain the low morale? Or is it something more sinister? | | '''The Mystery''': |
| | |
| Harvey Cooper is a man whose wealth makes Zelda look poor, he has his own permanent room on the ship, and she suspected he may be pulling some strings and creating a toxic environment. So she took the steps to hire four investigators to come on board as Wedding Guests, knowing that no one smart would try to enact a conspiracy during the cruise when professional detectives were on board. Unfortunately the only money left she could only afford...The Beggar's Bodega. Things took a turn for the worst when Zelda's husband became another one of the conspiracy's victims, killed the morning after their beautiful wedding.

| '''Under the Mask''': It was a [[Deep Sand Scion]] who had snuck on board and was slowly absorbing the faces of all the important cruise ship members in an attempt to convince the captain and bridge crew to take the ship out to the badlands where a Kraken pit sat, ready to devour everyone on board whole. A number of mysteries and answers were also opened when the team discovered that there was a TON of '''[[List of Quelmar Drugs|Kraken Blood]]''' going around on the ship. It was essential for the Scion to live, but also made its rounds as a performance enhancing drug enjoyed by a select few in secret corners of the ship. | | '''Under the Mask''': It was a [[Deep Sand Scion]] who had snuck on board and was slowly absorbing the faces of all the important cruise ship members in an attempt to convince the captain and bridge crew to take the ship out to the badlands where a Kraken pit sat, ready to devour everyone on board whole. |
