The Dreadnots[edit]

Crew Sheet[edit]

A smuggling crew (Tier 0) with a daring reputation. They have their own barge, "The Dreadnought", distinct and sturdy, far more nimble than its length and size would seem to allow, but only Mugs seems to be able to pilot the thing properly. The Dreadnought serves as their lair. They favor arcane and/or weird cargos. One coin in the chest at the moment.

Faction Status and Notes[edit]

  • The Hive: +0. They are the main power in the arcane/weird smuggling trade, but the Dreadnots have paid them off.
  • Lord Scurlock: -1. Somewhere along the way, the Dreadnots have caught the disapproving attention of this mysterious nobleperson.
  • The Lampblacks: -1. The Dreadnots have gotten up in the Lampblacks face in the past. It doesn't help that Baszo Baz and Thena Savory have a personal grudge.
  • The Gondoliers: +1. If you are smuggling on the canals of Duskwall, it pays to be on the good side of the Gondoliers.
  • Silkshore: +1. The Dreadnots have made a good name for themselves among the hoi palloi of Silkshore.

  • Mulligan Templeton, aka "Mugs" [Cutter] - Skovlander factory worker and longshoreman from Lockport, now a refugee. VICE = Drinking into a stupor at the Shine in Catcrawl Alley by the Docks.

The Recent Past[edit]

On their last job, the Dreadnots were responsible for picking up some illicit and potent coffee beans from the Dagger Isles. When they met their contact, the contact ALSO wanted them to deliver what appeared to be a fresh Leviathan eyeball. Gunner was pretty sure that eyeball was one he had looked into before on a previous voyage. The Dreadnots refused to take such a cargo for the last-minute price and the sketchy details that were offered. They snuck the coffee into the city, which was tricky because the damn beans were so potent you could smell them a neighborhood away. When they delivered the cargo, the customer asked "there wasn't...something else you were delivering, was there?" Silver said "No, why do you ask?" The customer said "oh...nothing" with a look of relief mixed with dread.
