The ship's rudder must be stuck to a certain position so the crew can safely hide below-decks.


Challenge information

Broad, Shadowy 1

  • 1 - chancy (60%)
  • 2 - straightforward (100%)

Success

"Engines to three-quarters! Lash the wheel!"

The ship's direction and speed must be carefully calculated so that you stay on course during the storm. [...] Globs of yellow wax, spattered into sharp splatters by the violent storm, cover the hull and the decks.


Failure

Off-course

You underestimate the violence of the winds and the waves. By the time you emerge from below-decks, the ship is hopelessly off-course.
