Tavern Watch Plays Pirate Borg, episode 2: La Corona de Piña and other treasures

Deep in the bowels of the vampirate-laden Maelstrom, our scurvy scallyways discover something truly unexpected: an entire forest, inside the hull of a ship. Not only that, but those crows seem to be cawing somewhat ominously, and inside the forest is a cave. But the real machinations of the pelagic vampires are yet to be discovered, Albrecht the Tideborn still stalks those who would disturb whatever is happening aboard the ship, and there’s still something high above waiting for our crew to find… even if it’s hanging by a thread.

Our spooky season game of Pirate Borg continues, with GM Phil Ulrich running full-sail adventures among the dead for:

• Eric O’Dea as Cornelius “Noseface” Collins, an erstwhile sorcerer and escapee from cannibals who is growing increasingly, concerningly, gangrenous
• Trish Olson (AwkwardishPanda) as Octavia, a swashbuckler who just happens to also be at least half octopus
• Liz Harper as Tama, an actual talking parrot — a very pretty blue lucky parrot, to be precise, although she wasn’t born that way

This is the second in a four-part actual play of Limithron’s Pirate Borg, running the boat portion of “Into the Maelstrom” from their first expansion, Down Among the Dead. Watch for new episodes every Monday! If you missed episode 1, you’ll definitely want to check that out first.

The music in this episode is “Dark Tides,” by PhatPhrog Studios.
