The Tale of Captain Blood
Long ago there was one of the most vicious captains who you ever heard sail the Sword Coast. He went from port to port, his crew taking everything that they wanted. Not known for keeping prisoners, he always said a victim left alive is another dagger waiting to stab your back. He had taken the lives of probably more than two or three thousand people before one day he chose the wrong port. He sailed into the cove, and opened fire. Instead of being met with return fire, or the screams of his victims he relished hearing, he was met with the sounds of silence. The captain took a few ships to shore to loot and kill anyone that might be hiding, thinking that perhaps someone had warned them. Instead, they found all the people to be already dead, drained of the very liquid we all rely on to keep us breathing; Blood. All save for one. That one creature, twisted by the dark powers, devoured the captain’s men and cursed the captain to an eternal half life to be lived in the shadows. You best be careful and keep a weather eye out when travelling at night. On a night where the moon is red as the blood in your veins, another ship has fallen victim to Captain Blood.
