Session 2 - Dangerous Dealings

The party made their way into Corsair Cove to dock their ship. Passing a line of corpses hanging from gallows in various states of decay, with only one common trait between them, each one was missing a left eye.   Upon docking the party were met by the dock keeper, an ogre called Bert and his goblin helper, Al. As a fresh crew to the island, Bert advised the party to pay a visit to the Cove Keeper.   The party met with the Cove Keeper and agreed to do a favour for her in exchange for ship repairs and supplies as they were lacking in coin. The Cove Keeper wanted the party to fetch for her a chest and a key, each which was marked by an emerald skull. The party were to sail to a small isle near Corsair Cove where an ally of the court, a witch called Tatiana would be able to direct them to what they sought.   The Driftwood was repaired and resupplied with great haste at the Cove Keeper's demands. The party set sail and after running into some trouble navigating through a wild magic fog they eventually reached the island where Tatiana could be found.   Skulls on pikes watched them arrive and asked their purpose before telling to go into the hut at the center of the isle. Their the party met Tatiana who performed a ritual to draw knowledge from a skull of the key's location. She drew the party a map in blood on human skin that leads to a wreck of a ship known as The Marshall.   Upon arriving and investigating the ship wreck the party noticed claw marks in the upper cabins and Serge found a locked jewellery box. Below deck the party met Barnacle a talking giant crab. Barnacle proved to be of little help preferring to preach the virtues of Juilus rather than discuss the key.   A banshee took an interest in the group and began to mess with them. This turned to violence and upon hearing her wail, Serge was knocked unconscious. To bring an end to the fight quickly Butcher and Jangles freed the banshee from her binding to the ship. The banshee turned out to actually be Hildegarde, the unequalled who was one of the first pirate lords and was cursed to undeath by The Empire who were still devil worshippers at that time.   The party looted some supplies that were steal salvageable from the ship and managed to find the key they were sent for before set sail back to Tatiana.
