Session 5 Recap

The party met after capturing the Sea Ghost (newly christened the Shadowquick) to determine how to fill the empty seat on the town council. After some discussion, they determined that Captain Xendros would be the best option. They also elected Ungir as Captain and finished filling out their crew.   After Goddle and Finkin went to bed, the others stayed up drinking. Belgren got a little wasted and confided in Ungir about some of his struggles with being Wishborne.   The next morning, the party was summoned to the town hall, where they learned that Gellen had apparently hung himself in jail before he could be executed. The party was shocked by this, but followed through on naming Xendros to the town council. The council discussed the discovery of Lizardfolk buying weapons from the smugglers and determined that they must be arming up against an unknown threat. They charged the party with traveling to the Hool Marshes to gather information. After wrapping up some business in town and picking up some side quests for the journey, the Shadowquick departed Saltmarsh.   A few hours in, the party was attacked by a Sahuagin raiding party. They managed to take out their leader with a cannon blast, at which point the remaining forces retreated to the depths.   The party eventually found an entrance to the Lizardfolk Lair and were escorted to Queen Othokent. She confirmed that the Sahuagin were becoming a great threat to the region and gave consideration to a potential alliance with Saltmarsh, contingent on the party gaining the approval of several people from the Lizardfolk tribe and their alliance. The party met with Sauriv, the Queen’s adviser, and gained the approval of the Keepers, Caregivers, Merfolk, and Locathah. They also made friends with Krivcrath, a bard and retired adventurer from another world.   The party finally met with Shaman Korth, who seemed to recognize Belgren from a vision.   Time passed in session: 2 days
