Introduction

We continue at 6PM on the 12th of Denrilden (00.000.09.19 on the Apocalypse Clock) following the death of captain Vishnik, the sinking of the Jaunty Jade, and capture of the elven vessel. Krensch has taken command of the Armadan pirates, although the Summer Elf prisoners belong to Boborc and Druul. Not the most auspicious beginning to the party's interactions with a faction with whom they hope to ally. At this point, though, that's about par for the course ...

Larry's Summary

Velkin finds logbook and journal of the Summer Elf captain, charts, and his sea chest. He gets the key from his neck and opens the chest and finds: Lots of gold, gems, translucent apple green stone, Velking scoops up 5 gems, 3 pieces of jewelry - wrought gold choker, signet ring with a flame symbol incised, silver & gold ear cuffs. Velkin takes half the gold about 900 GP, leaving the rest and leaving a quilt like cloth. Folded into the cloth is a scroll case. The ship is The Wandering Sparrow under Captain Cerverak of the Sapphire Isles

Velkin pointed the mapcase in the direction of the elven prisoners being questioned by Krench. These elves are all from Curanost. One of them starts talking and tells them the came from Curanost and are looking for allies to fight the DVLs there. This matches what Velkin surmised from the captain's log book.

Velkin searches one of the cabins and finds a dagger and a few coins and takes the dagger.

Krench takes the talkative elf up top to explain things about the ship.

Kauri learns from Captain Cerverak that they were looking for allies. Other ships sent from Curanost. The DVL Belial was pushed back by the Summer Lord and the elves of Curanost, but they can't dislodge them from their foothold in the city of Balend. Things are now at a stalemate.

Captain Cerverak enjoys Oskar's tea and is slightly encouraged when Kauri says that the orcs are not our friends, but we have mutual interests in fighting the DVLs. Kauri also relays that we have had run ins with both DVLs and Winter Elves. This intrigues and also seems to encourage Cerverak. Kauri also mentions that he knows Timorere and that impresses Cerverak.

Lungmold tries to get Khelratha to speak out loud what Lungmold is telling him, but Khelratha goes on a rant about how they all convinced Khelratha to communicate by thinking and now Lungmold wants him to talk out loud.

When Ranarth shows up after a shopping trip to Malgrim, he relays things for Lungmold. Khelratha complains about this, and gives Lungmold the stinkeye.

Ajax hops on Khelratha's shoulder and pecks his ear to become visible. Khelratha glares at Khelratha and Khelratha glares are Lungmold and learns that Ajax wants to talk to one of the Summer Elves.

Lungmold them has Tyriol relay everything to his snow globe in the tongue of the Winter Elves so Khelratha doesn't know what is said.

Krench suggests tossing the Summer Elves and other elves overboard since the ship is so crowded. Kauri and Druul convince Krench not to do so as they may prove useful.

Druul is made second in command and given the wheel and Krench points out the stars to lead to Watcher's Island.

Cerverak relays that they went by Watcher's Island and mentions two groups of ships in a stand off. A group of 4 pirate ships, two under the flag of Elkior the admiral of Vishnek and Krench two swords and some sort of fish, the other two some sort of skull which Druul said could be a number of others. The Armada ships blocked the bay and the ships in the bay aimed their sides towards the sea, and appeared to have cannons.

We more to the cabin, and Kauri and the invisible Velkin open the portal and pass through Captain Vishnek's chest that Khelratha opens and lays out papers to dry on the remains of the cannon, and the Journal and charts of captain Cerverak.

Lungmold storms out but Velkin won't let him pass. Lungmold asks for a Summer Elf, or any elf. Lungmold backs down for now and returns to the portal. Ajax flies out and once the portal is closed and pointed away from them, tells Velkin that he doesn't trust Lungmold.

The two Summer Elves are put in the private cabin along with Ajax whom Jardin made invisible again, and Boborc/Jardin.

Kauri and Oskar sleep in hammocks in the common area, and the invisible Velkin finds a spot near the elf prisoners since there is only one guard.
