Paruu Findings

    Dear Tarne Nal,   I can now confirm my speculations from my last message. Our excavations are now complete, and I've found the sigil below which very much so matches what I saw on Archeon.   We could not find a mechanism to open the door so I had the workers make one. Perhaps this was foolish of me, but we need too make progress if we're ever to open the one on Archeon.   The results of opening the door have been surprising. Undead poured out shortly after the entrance was made. Many were killed and we were forced to retreat. The outpost has been attacked almost nightly since.   I apologize for the hasty message, I write this while we prepare for an expedition. I'll be leading our Relic Hunters into the crypt. Too see if we can stop the attacks, and find the treasures within.   I don't believe i'll be back before The Kilglass departs, so it might be some time before you hear the results.   Respectfully Martine Reltor   Etched Symbol

Zarantyr 3rd Action

  Convoy Spotted 7:51 AM by The Goodall   Course was set to intercept with Kilglass on point. 1:21 the convoy was within half a kilometer of our vessel.   Began firing chaser shots at 2:16. At 2:24 a small trail vessel struck its colours, after a chaser struck the rudder. Goodall detached small rowing party to secure.   The remaining vessels kept course until 150 meter separation. Chasers loaded with chain aimed at the masts of one of the 3 larger merchant ship.   The merchant ships then made a turn in formation to bear a broadside, running out previously hidden cannons on their port side. The 3 vessels began firing on The Kilglass at 2:41. Adjusting to bring about broadside their shots went high striking our sails and destroying the main sail yard.   The second broadside struck low causing 3 shots below the waterline while in trough of swell. 6 shots penetrated above the waterline Killing 2, wounding 4.   The Goodall gave signal to fall back. After firing the port cannons striking once, we began a starboard turn to return to the Goodall, On the turn to return to The Goodall 4 cannon balls raked the stern across the gundeck disabling the rudder and killing 6, wounding 11.   All hands were put to repairs to regain steering and stop taking on of water.   The Goodall re-engaged the vessels at 3:01. Goodall lost its for-mast at 3:16 and the merchant vessels appeared to attempted to disengage.   At 3:21 a broadside from the Goodall struck low on the middle of the merchantmen formation causing a detonation. The explosion ignited the sails of the 2 remaining merchant vessels. A blaze that was unable to be controlled the remaining merchantmen as the 2 vessels abandoned ship at 3:53   4:02 The Kilglass steering was restored, and operations to capture survivors began.   The captain of the Sulton Wave was picked up, identified as the foremost merchant ship. In interrogation he stated Hiverton as his destination, carrying Rations, Ammo, Weapons, Repair materials, and Powder.   Course set for Paruu 4:31 after securing the remaining merchant vessels.
