Editing Curse of the Goblin's Luck (section)

==Setup==

Tasked with finding the ''Goblin’s Luck'', a merchant freighter, five intrepid misfits take off aboard the ''Invidian Fortune''.

Last night, in the fog around Freeport, a fast packet dropped off a package with a note to only open it at sea. Of course, it was only realized at sea that the package was not meant for the ''Fortune'' at all. The ''Goblin’s Luck'' was part of a series of nine ships built in the same shipyard to the same specifications. And guess who is on another one?

Any sailor recognizes the sister ships to their own; the ''Goblin’s Luck'' left port only a few hours before the Fortune. Hopefully, the packet was the only ship to mistake their identity!

Unfortunately, many others seek the ''Goblin’s Luck'' as well. Most notable of these are the vile minions of Nava, the Turtle Queen. Whatever the ''Luck'' bears, Her Majesty will stop at nothing to get them.

The gods have not graced the world with their direct involvement since time immemorial. However, talk is that the mythic truce weakens because of their lust and ambition…and how this bears upon the ''Luck'', none know. But there are rumors…

Even now, the god of mischief has plagued all attempts to capture or sink the ''Goblin’s Luck''.

As if capturing the Luck was not already hard enough due to her fleet seaworthiness and great command, the ship’s name comes from the expression, “A goblin’s luck is a man’s misfortune”. The superstitious (and defamers of goblins) believe that goblins only profit at the expense of other races. The ''Goblin’s Luck'' has been very fortunate indeed the past years. Her captain and owners have earned a small fortune in trade and have managed to defeat any and all pirate attacks against her.

But rival merchants grumble that they’ve been cheated by ''Goblin’s Luck'' in unspecified (and unnatural) ways. Pirates tell tales of mysterious disasters befalling any ship who dared to take ''Goblin’s Luck''. Coincidence? Sour grapes? Maybe. But the ''Goblin’s Luck'' has a reputation. And unless you are the type who is rich enough or powerful enough to ignore popular opinion, you don’t want it known that you are working to help that cursed ship. You’ll find yourself losing friends around the docks and gaining enemies in town.

Goblin’s Luck indeed!
