Biography & Personality

Captain Voss is an older woman whose face is deeply weathered from years spent sailing the open seas. She possesses a knowing smile and a pragmatic, no-nonsense attitude toward her work. As a key member of Corbin’s information and smuggling network, she operates with high discretion and efficiency. Voss is particularly loyal to her personal debts, notably stating that she “owes Orris Locke a favour,” which served as the primary motivation for her assisting the party.

Campaign History

• Entry 38 (The Arrangement): Voss was identified by Corbin as his most reliable contact for extracting the party from Onasea. Corbin revealed a vision where Orris entrusted him with a Grey Pearl to be given to Voss, ensuring Lavender would be taken to safety with no questions asked.
• Entry 39 (The Extraction): Voss met the party at the Onasea harbour under the cover of night. She accepted the pearl from Lavender and warned the group that half the village was currently searching for them. She immediately ordered the Tidecaller to set sail, estimating a three-day voyage to Adalens. During the journey, she accepted Gage’s offer of mercenary services, noting she would put them to use if the need arose.
• Entry 40 (The Frozen Wraith): Voss identified the attacking ship as the Frozen Wraith, a sunken pirate vessel. Despite taking damage, she bellowed inspiring orders that rallied the entire party. Later, she warned Lavender of the unnatural threats pursuing them and expertly navigated the Tidecaller through a devastating magical storm to keep the ship afloat.
• Entry 41 (The Fiery Pursuit): Voss piloted the Tidecaller to outrun the Master of Ash’s pristine, fire-wielding ship. During the battle, she kept the vessel on course and accepted a boarder’s surrender before safely docking at Port Adal. She warned Lavender to be careful and unceremoniously threw the captive Lyra overboard.
