Scribe Notes

Day One

We are led to a Guild meeting room. Seems to be a tall party for once. It’s nice to see Uthgard again, she’s a hill giant mind mage and Elderan, an elven air mage. Aaron has also joined the party, he’s a human E&E mage. Apparently Elidon, an elvish ice mage, has decided he is strong enough for this party, we will see. And then we unfortunately have Eugene, a human fake fire mage. I doubt if he will live til the end of the season, of course won’t be by my hands, unless he happens to stand in my way.

Once we have done introductions, we sort rolls. I am stuck as scribe since no one else wants to do it. Elidon tried to offer but came up with too many excuses, so I took over. Elderan being the competent healer will save our ass from dying. Apparently none of us know how to cook proper food, pity. Eugene will unfortunately lead us in battle, with Uthgard as secondary lead. And I will be the actual Leader of this party.

Once this is all sorted, we hear a sound coming from outside. Like fast horse movement, then a screeching sound. Then we hear a thud, I assume a person jumping off the horse. Then a couple minutes later a 5ft4 Orc dressed in a heavy weather sailors suit walks in. Have not a clue what their gender is, don’t really care either. He introduces himself, he’s Captain Torga. Apparently a merchant type.

Torga explains that the “Weather has been wrong” in an area of sea after a previous party had dealt with the tower there. And how the Sky wasn’t behaving right. This person isn’t making much sense to me.

He goes on to explain how they have been having a bit of unseasonal weather and recently started noticing heavy fog banks, about 200 miles from the banks in open water. Ships are being raided in the fog banks, but the thieves aren’t taking everything, they seem like they are looking for something in particular. So far 2 ships have been raided but also 3 ships have gone missing in the last 2 weeks. The three missing ships are called Bright Falcon, Silver Wind and Deep Ale. The crew from one of the raided ships ended up on a Liferaft ship, they are the ones that sent a message.

The Captain gives us each a Letter of Intro as well a navigator package and six flares to the group. He says that we should go talk to Captain Auldrich at his Silgorn ship called Morrowwind.

At this point, it’s evening. We get greaters from Aaron and call it a night.

Day Two

Today, Aaron spends his time doing rituals. Eugene, Elderan and Eugene head to the library. Eugene uses his super smarts and learns that the Mountain range in Palestina is very high. Go figure.. Although we do learn that there is a Roc in the mountain (big bird) and the last party that flew via cloud in that area got attacked by a flying ball of light. Delightful. They learn from some scribe notes that there are merfolk that are in the great shallows who worship Vephar. A very nasty demon, not keen to meet them. But thank god for scribes who take accurate and detailed notes. They also have a look at the navigator pack and learn the trade routes.

While the boys are busy, Uthgard and I decided to head to the docks to talk to the ship captain. We found a ship, called Foamy Gull. We noticed that it was dusty, like it hadn’t moved in months. After chatting to someone, who’s name I didn’t care to get, we learnt that no one goes into the great shallows and just sticks to the western kingdom borders. This ship used to go into the great shallows but looks like the crew has abandoned the ship.

Uthgard tries to knock on the door and yells hello quite loudly, in retaliation, the ship zapped her. Hehe. I notice that people avoid the ship, as if it had a bubble around it. People walk around it, as if it’s an unpleasant thing.

We then go and find the dockmaster. He tells us that a halfling known as Captain Tallfoot is the owner of the boat. He then directed us over to a boarding house 3 streets over. Once there we walk through the double doors. In front of us was a tiny girl, maybe 10 or 12 behind a desk. Apparently didn’t like us immediately and rang a bell. Four guards run in. After explaining who we want to talk to, one of them goes and talks to the Captain. Comes back and tells us that the Captain refuses to see us. Ridiculous and not helpful at all. But the Guards are able to tell us that when the crew from the Foamy Gull came back from their last outing they just went straight to their rooms. Now we crew come back from successful outings, they come back and drink their winnings which in my opinion is such a waste but I’m not a peasant. But this crew came back and were quiet. Sounds like nothing bad happened but it’s like the crew have a bad feeling about sailing and don't want to sail anymore and some now work a normal job in town. It was about 6 weeks ago. Might be connected to what’s been happening, we will have to investigate.
