Dread Pirate Captain
The Blessed Kurse (Squiship, 45 Ton Escort Frigate) DOB 15 Hammer, 1473 DR (she/her) The rogue known as Sheila Marduke was a member of the Lightwood Company until 1496 DR, when she joined the crew of the Dark CroWo several months before the death curse spread across the planet Faerun. Prior to joining the ship, Sheila had lead a successful double life as a scout for the Lightwood Company, while performing some of the most daring burglaries up and down the Sword Coast. Concealing her identity with a combination of magical and mundane means (including going ‘boy mode’ as her previous gender), she jumped at the chance to join Lyra’s crew knowing she had little time left before she would be wanted in Baldur’s Gate, Beregost, Daggerford, and even as far as Waterdeep. Years earlier, Sheila had been ‘cursed’ by an annis hag to change gender, but had discovered a newfound freedom as a woman and felt more herself than she ever had. Coached in her newfound biology by Lightwood Company members such as Aurora, Dandelion, and Saltine, she adjusted and openly spoke about the blessing that the curse had really been. Months after joining the cruWu of the Dark CroWo, Sheila has now vacated her bunk to buy her own ship with the proceeds of her Faerunian crime spree. Calling her Squiship The Blessed Kurse she has taken some friends from the Dark CroWo on board and purchased her way into Blackjammer’s challenge in an effort to make a name for herself. In battle Sheila was always mobile, one moment in hand to hand combat and shivving a flanked enemy, the next using magical or mundane weapons from afar to support her side. She enjoys a good fight as long as she’s on the winning side, but won’t hesitate to make a run for it if needed. Scuttle around Blackrock is that Sheila has grossly underestimated the armaments of the other challenger ships, and betting at Blackjammers’ has good odds on her being out for the count before the halfway mark. Time will tell how her new ship and crew perform, and how she relates to both the Lightwood Company and the Dark CroWo - she may be a steadfast ally, or she may be a thorn in the side of both.
