Session 04: Gone with the wind. Report

General Summary

The party travels to Lucius's home to investigate. Here they discover a run down home mostly filled with dirty clothes and tools of a scholar's trade. Looking through Lucius possessions they come across a to do note and a well worn diary. Here they learn that Lucius was trying to get in contact with an Orc Pirate Captain named Captain Scarbelly. He is also having recurring dreams that are keeping him awake. These dreams and the reason he wishes to talk to the Pirate Captain are from his years that he can not remember and disappeared to travel the world. He also feels he is being followed so he is going to start carrying a knife on his person. The part with all this info decide the best course of action is to follow Lucius trail. They travel to the Bloody Vengeance in hopes to speak to the captain.   Travelling across the city now with Brother Egil not with them. He returns to work. The party arrives in the Seaside Market in hopes of finding info on the pirates. They quickly discover the pirates are currently in port. They also learn Captain Scarbelly is an incredible dangerous individual who has killed many in close quarters. The party hires a messenger to carry a message to the captain. However the poor messenger boy is turned away each time, eventually being spat on and the note torn in two. The party realizing their only course of action is to try and talk to the crew themselves in hopes of winning an audience.   As the party negotiates with the pirate orcs. They call on their First Mate Aggro who basically tells the party Lucius was here a week prior. He told him to sod off just like his telling the party right now!

The party discusses where they should travel next and decide to question Thuron and Milos. Both whom were mentioned within Lucius diary. As they arrive at the temple they are greeted by Nortan a trainee who guides the party to Milos as Thuron is not to be disturbed as he is busy prepping for the blessing of Lighthouse of Drac opening ceremony.    The party questions Milos and learns not much more then what they already knew. However much of what they learn from the questioning lines up with what they learned in the diary. The party then leaves the temple, not having much more luck on this lead. They decide to travel back to the sea market as the to do list mentions turnips. However as they are passing through the smaller streets they are ambushed by a group of mercenaries wielding yellow shields and dyed yellow armor. They are a much tougher lot compared to the pirates and press gang members they have encountered before. Clearly signs of a proper mercenary group. As they defeat the mercenaries they manage to capture the leader alive knocking him unconscious. On him is a sealed note, that summarizes to meet at the Black Gull for payment on completion of mission to eliminate the individuals who are poking their noses where they should not belong. They also find a Ivory Handled Dagger with an L carved into the hint. The party now must decide where to go...
