Day One
14 left.
On an expedition that started in 1845 with 134 sailors, only 13 remain. Five left in Greenland, 116 died. None of you know exactly how it's been, the day/night cycle in the Arctic makes it hard to keep track and none of you have been doing a good job timekeeping since 1848. However, people have been getting desperate, even more so. There are whispers of factions, dedicated to the survival of their members, and not their crews. There have whispers that many of the crew were eaten by their comrades.
Cannibalism has always been a threat since the
Terror and
Erebus were abandoned in April 1848. The Arctic flora and fauna simply weren't enough to satiate the addition of almost humans used to eating three meals of meat each day. There had been whispers that some of the early deaths, not the ones on the ships, but the first ones after their abandonment, had been no accident. That those who disappeared had been killed, and eaten by their comrades. A few cannibals had already been put down, but those were isolated incidents, lone wolves.
The group in this state could put one
Cannibal easily enough. But a group? Working in coordination? Our crew would be hard pressed to survive and would almost certainly take losses in ensuring their survival.
Everyone was on edge for a good reason though, four days ago
George Williams had disappeared while searching for food for the group. George was the type to stay out in the snow for a couple days, ensuring that he returned with a large haul. But he had been absent for far to long. One less mouth to feed, but much food coming in was a poor deal.
It's a pity that
George Williams made it less than a kilometre from the "base camp" (little more than a few improvised tents pitched around a fire pit). Found early morning, much of his body had been removed and eaten, but his face was still there, still recognizable, attached barely to his neck and torso. He had put up a struggle, but there were clearly more of them than there were of him.
13 left.
There are no third-parties this game, only town and mafia. Win cons have been updated to reflect this
