    The Duchess of Nightmares (Part One)

    A small band of pirates have settled in a web of stilted boardwalks. The enigmatic Duchess of Nightmares rules them with equal parts respect and terror, working towards inscrutible goals with powerful magic. Others, including her first mate Bruce and her Heiress, work to settle in to their new surroundings and ensure safe harbor. But when a group of tourists arrive on the web, it soon becomes clear that not all here is as it seems.

And the sinkhole beneath the Web beckons to crew to simply throw all their troubles away.
