A Simple Hydrographic Survey

Facilitator:

1811. HMS Scorpion has been sent to update charts in the region of the Spice Islands.

The captain's sealed orders reveal that a French squadron is active in the area. They are to be taken, burned, or destroyed.

You also expect complications from the Dutch and locals. Not to mention Mr Charpentier, the natural philosopher on board, and his strange apparatus for "observing the bottom of the sea".

Glorious is still in development, so this is technically a playtest (but the rules are pretty settled now).
