About the adventure
Innocent lives, dark secrets and a terror hidden in the fog....will you survive the night? You’ve been hired to rescue an innocent prisoner from a remote island prison. What seemed like a straightforward job quickly turns into a harrowing fight for survival as you uncover the island’s chilling secrets. Once a quiet fishing village, the island is now trapped in thick, unnatural fog, driving the residents to desperate and sinister actions. People vanish into the prison under mysterious circumstances, fueling rumors of dark rituals and terrifying sacrifices. As you unravel the truth, you'll find yourself racing against time, facing difficult moral choices, and confronting horrors that lurk just beyond sight. Will you brave the darkness to save the innocent—or become another victim lost in the fog? ⚓Uncover the tragic secrets behind Gunbarg Prison and its terrifying feeding room. ⚓Navigate encounters with desperate Northmen, who teeter dangerously on the edge of sanity. ⚓Face down an ancient evil whose presence chills the very air. ⚓Decide between mercy and survival as you delve deeper into the darkness.

About me
Hey, I’m Avelaitixa, but everyone calls me Avel (we all need a nickname, right?). I run story-driven games three nights a week where your choices matter, your bad decisions have names, and not everything gets tied up neatly. I like messy, morally gray stories. The kind where alliances shift, plans go sideways, and sometimes the smartest strategy is stunning, pantsing, and immediately running away from Arkhan the Cruel. I’m here for whispered deals, reckless plans, and the kind of character moments that hit harder than anyone expected. The best sessions usually involve someone saying “this is a terrible idea” or "what could possibly go wrong?" right before committing to it completely. If that sounds like your kind of trouble, there’s a seat for you here.

Safety
How Avelaitixa creates a safe table
X-Card: If something in the game becomes uncomfortable or distressing, any player can invoke the X-Card. This tool allows you to pause the scene, remove the specific content, and adjust the narrative as needed—no explanation required. The goal is to ensure everyone feels safe and respected. N-Card: If a topic or scene is manageable but begins approaching uncomfortable territory, the N-Card can be used. This signals to adjust the direction or tone without removing the content entirely. It’s a way to create boundaries while staying engaged in the game. O-Card: Use the O-Card to communicate that you're fully comfortable with the current content, even if it’s intense or challenging. It lets the group know you're okay to proceed and actively enjoying the direction of the story. Breaks: Halfway through the session, we will take a quick break to reset, grab a drink, bio, snack. But at any point, players can step away if needed. This ensures the game flows naturally without overwhelming anyone.
