Morrgan's Dark Projects

Into the Maelstrom is another mission made for one of Komag's small FM contests - my 6th FM, made for the 5th contest. This time I collaborated with Vigil, who has been a great help on several of my previous FMs. Basically, I came up with the concept and did terrain, sounds and objectives. Vigil created the gorgeous artwork, special effects and readables.

The captain trusts you as far as he can throw you - he insisted on holding onto your sword for the voyage - but it's as warm a welcome as you can afford.

All was not to be plain sailing, however: the Inigo foundered in a storm 4 days out, and now the currents have dragged her to rest in a deep, sinister cavern. Being no seaman (and more unnerved than you'll admit) you retired early to wait for the crew to finish repairs; only to wake in the night to the screams of men - and of something else...
