Tom Cartos – Storm's Call

Originally a simple merchant vessel, The Storm’s Call has passed through the hand of many owners in the last few decades, usually to pay off debts or via a poorly made wager. During its long years, the Storms Call has been owned by pirates, smugglers, and a variety of other vagabonds and underworld miscreants, each augmenting the vessel with their own additions and upgrades so it now barely resembles the sleek ship that first slid out of the boatyard. All manner of armaments, extra cabins and hidden nooks decorate the hull and decks.

The largest and most recent of those enhancements is an enormous canvas balloon, as large and wide as the ship itself, that floats gently above in place of sails. At sea this functions much in the same way as the sails would, albeit a little less wieldy and slower, but it gives the ship a huge advantage over many of its counterparts, that of flight! When needed the central brazier can be boosted with arcane means, greatly increasing the hot air caught in the balloon and giving it the lift necessary to take off. Be careful though, landing again is not nearly so easy!
