The Captain's Wheel Of Fate Is Turning. 24-year-old Karmen Raider and her companion Cavalier King, Atlas have found themselves in the middle of quite a conundrum after coming ashore at the port of Luskan. While finding her reflection in a chalice of rum, Karmen happens to "overhear" a group of cloaked individuals while eavesdropping in the tavern. The Spore wasn't too pleased with Karmen using her vessel to sink theirs. A haul of valuable goods now lost to the sea? Surely someone somewhere is going to set out to collect a bounty on the person responsible. Knowing The Spore is seeking its most powerful leaders, and most devoted followers is one thing, but one of whom just happens to be Karmen's father, His Royal Highness, King Vesperon Rai'Derr. By the time Karmen made it back to her birth home, The Forest of Cormyr, having traveled on foot the entire way, all she could find was a lonely old fortune teller, who told her that her father has not only joined the cult but is also holding her people as hostages in The Delves. The old woman equips Karmen with a tarot deck and tells her that she cannot keep running from her future and that she must face her failures. Karmen makes peace with knowing after this is done, she'll disappoint her mother, but she has to defeat her father if she wants to save her people. Now if only she could find a ship on such short notice.
