Enduring Dreadnought | |
---|---|
Type | Warship |
Location | The Reach, Albion |
Enduring Dreadnoughts are the main tools of enforcement of the New British Empire in Albion and its representative in The Reach, the Windward Company.
Description[]
Enduring Dreadnoughts are large, thickly-armoured vessels that bristle with a formidable array of weapons. Their gun fires 4 projectile that deals 2 damage per hit, and their turret fires (?) projectiles that deals (?) damage per hit. Occasionally, Enduring Dreadnoughts can be seen holding their own against groups of two or more Tackety Scouts across The Reach. As with the Tacketys, they are initially neutral to the player until fired upon. In Albion, the higher The Strength of the Sun, the less common they will be become, being gradually replaced by Glorious Dreadnaughts and Deranged Dreadnaughts.

The massive guns of the Dreadnought have finally fallen silent. The hulk hangs in the firmament like a shed spider skin in a web, viewed from the vantage of the fly. Its sides are scored and open, its windows shattered. Smoke billows from its blind eyes. London will not see what transpires here.

Raid the hold
The Dreadnoughts are the bane of all smugglers. They surely keep the best of their finds to themselves. After all, wouldn't you?

Check the navigation suite
If the Dreadnought kept secrets, they are here.
|
|
Entirely legal
The suite is upholstered in scarlet velvet and brass, like an opera box with artillery. Unused weaponry lines the walls, their shadows spilling over the empty glasses strewn about the comfortable chairs and tables. Among a stack of papers (mostly tracking suspected criminals along secret routes), is a Ministry Permit for Discretionary Activities.

Strange trails
The lanterns have all gone out in the suite and no candles are left to burn. The light of far off stars filters through the shattered stained glass in iridescent shadows. Among the darkling haze of colour, you uncover a chart detailing some very illicit trade routes indeed. Was the Dreadnought on the trail of smugglers? Or was it looking to supplement its income, far away from London's watchful eyes?

Rummage in the kitchens
An engine of this size had many stomachs to fill.
|
|
Heaven's bounty
Your chef is delighted at the abundance of food still intact in the kitchens. He shouts something about 'a cornucopia' before he disappears into the pantry again. Sweet biscuits, tea cakes, herbs from Traitor's Wood and succulent fungus from Hybras, good British tea, and a few measures of whisky are unearthed from the vast larders of the Dreadnought. You have bought your crew a few nights of restful sleep on full bellies.

Raid the engine's lockbox
It sits on the captain's desk, heavy as miser's heart.

Inside, after some deft work with the boltcutters, are a series of documents. Crisp, white, Ministry-stamped documents. Some are promissory notes, exchangeable in all reputable ports in the skies. Another is an invitation: to the Eternal Masque on Perdurance, where London's finest dwell within a single day.
