STEVE (02/18/2022): The ship is in Pennerick on the east side of the Azure Sea.

The entire group, with the exception of Ori, arrives on the Sea Ghost.


09/08/2022 (GM-Steve)

Upon arrival, Captain Merrick tells his story.

Captain Merrick's Story: After the group did not come back for a few days, Captain Merrick went to the Mariner's Guild to find out if they had ideas on where to find Lorcan. They asked him to come back in a couple of days and, when he did, told him that they had consulted a seer and the information they received was that Captain Merrick should set sail in 10 days time and head across the Azure Sea and pull into port at the town of Pennerick on the southwest side of the Vast Swamp. The Sea Ghost was to arrive no later than 60 days from today where they could hope to reunite with the owners of the Sea Ghost. From there, the seer suggested that the Sea Ghost, with the owners now aboard, should return to Saltmarsh. The seer seemed to indicate that the return trip might not be very straight-forward but could provide no details, only that they should set course for Saltmarsh.

Pennerick is a medium-sized city on the edge of the Vast Swamp. There is a lot of commerce with with villages and inhabitants of the Vast Swamp. Coastal roads head north and south along the Azure Sea and smaller paths lead into the Vast Swamp to villages located there. The port is a busy port.

After hearing what the captain has to say, and resting for a bit, there is a knock on the cabin door (the group is assembled in Lorcan's main deck cabin). A seaman is at the door and lets the group know that there is a visitor on the dock who wants to see them.

The visitor is Godwin the Acquirer and his two large bodyguards. The group invites him aboard and talks with him. Godwin would like the group to travel to a ruined city about 30 miles away and find an ancient tome known as the Tome of Cryptic Secrets. The ruin has been searched many, many times over the centuries but Godwin has a new clue that might lead to a chamber that has never been found.

Lorcan knows that the Tome of Cryptic Secrets contains secrets about the elemental planes and some of the denizens who inhabit those places. It is also thought to contain magical spells of an elemental nature. The book is not an artifact. Godwin makes it clear that he wants the book brought to him unopened. Lorcan asks if he can peruse the book after Godwin has opened it but Godwin says that he is a middle-man. The person he plans to sell the book to would be the one to open it. The group barters with Godwin and arrives at a price of 5,000 silver and a Wand of Fire with 23 charges for recovering the book. Assuming they are successful, Godwin also will pay the group 8,000 silver to transport himself, his bodyguards and the book to Saltmarsh. The group agrees to the terms.

While in Pennerick, a young sea elf arrives seeking Kalin. He is a devout believer of Pelor and would like to travel with Kalin as his follower. After praying to Pelor about this, Kalin agrees.

The group splits up the treasure from the previous adventure. Unneeded armor and weapons are given to Kalin's new follower, who goes by the name of Aeryw. He prefers bow, spear and dagger.

Two days later, the group meets again with Godwin the Acquirer. He provides them with the clue that he has learned that relates to the supposed location of the Tome of Cryptic Secrets. The clue takes the form of a poorly written poem:

A brave hero with magic weapons too,
Sets forth clad in wizard armor.
A ring of power held up to the light,
And an item of clothing fashioned by a charmer.

Set bravely forth to enter the Grieve,
With an elixir of magic ready to aid.
A final enchantment be not forgotten,
A spell of something, cast or prayed..

The group discusses the poem but decides that it will make the most sense when they find where it is to be used. They set out for the ruined city. It takes them a day to reach it. The ruined city is in the middle of the jungle but the actual location of the ruins is a desert about 3 miles in diameter and bounded on all sides by jungle.

Lorcan attempts to cast a Detect Magic but it backfires and he goes deaf. The group spends the night and, in the morning, Wiley begins a 10 hour ritual of preparation, followed by a remove curse ritual. It takes all day (16 hours) but the attempt is successful and Lorcan can hear again.

The following day, the group begins searching the ruined city.
