POWER You're not sure how much time passed after you made the choice to stay in the Deadmines. You work on a massive ship doing tedious, unremarkable labor for someone you've never seen. You've heard crazy rumors about him—people talk about his hat, say he's a wolf-man, that he fled here from another country—but you never get to see him. Your work remains monotonous until that suddenly changes. As you're heading towards the ship, you suddenly notice that it's completely deserted. A few of the usual workers on the ship are standing behind you, hands on their weapons. One of those hands has a cog tattoo on it, which you've heard means this guy was in the last version of the Defias too. These people mean business. "We know what you've been doing here," says the guy with the cog tattoo. "We know how much the Admiral likes you. You just thought you could work your way up the ranks and take over this place, didn't you? Well, you don't have any gnomish technology to save you now. You're going down just like the Furlbrows." You have no idea as to most of what they're talking about. At least, you had no idea.
Ask for more information. Run while you can. Attack before they do.
