  24th Oct 2020 - 19:45 - 22:40 In-game timeline: Start of session: 1489DR Marpenoth 4. End of session: 1489DR Marpenoth 7 We rejoin our 'Heroes' about to set sail on The Evening Mist, heading out to find the wreck of The Emperor of the Waves near to Whale Bone Isles . 4 days at sea took their toll. While Iwee seemed to take to the water with no problems, and spent much of her time singing, dancing and learning how to navigate at sea using the stars and a sextant, the others spent the first day throwing up and feeling rather ill. Luckily, good weather on the journey meant that Jaxii recovered quickly and she spent the rest of the time trying, and failing, to learn how to tie a variety of useful knots. Unfortunately her knots may be as likely to come loose as before. Karoshi took a little while longer to recover from the sea sickness, but recover he did, though his attempt to learn some knot tying also wasn't particularly successful, though he did name his animated rope, Lio...

Three 'Heroes' from one group - the gnomish bard, Iwee; the dragonborn barbarian, Jaxii and the tiefling paladin, Karoshi - meet up again in Neverwinter and are joined by another unsung 'Hero', the valiant human fighter, Derrick to form a new adventuring group. The old friends greet each other warmly and catch up on old times. Derrick arrives, with an overt aim to help out his cousin's (Ichabod's) friend Jaxii to find news of her mother, captured by bandits many years ago and is immediately treated with suspicion and contempt by the rest of the group. Even the usually highly critical DM starts to feel sorry for Derrick! With each member of the group armed with their own knowledge and information about the pirate group who reportedly took Jaxii's mother (called the Radiant Sisters) and an infamous pirate, Captain Bree, ...

Our "Heroes" are together in Griff's room, contemplating their next steps. Many plans were discussed, most discounted. They finally settled on a plan. They headed up towards the temple area, hoping that Lucian and his bugbears would still be around there. Treading slowly and carefully, our 'heroes' regrouped in the pool room and sent Geoff out on yet another scouting mission back into the room that previously held some bugbears. It was now empty. (Note to self - the next dungeon may well be full of bats. Bats eat spiders. Big bats eat adventurers.) Slightly nervous of what they are letting themselves in for, the party head further north, slowly and carefully, with Derrick made invisible by Mallorn's spellcasting. They spot a bugbear guard at the door, who also spots them, and they quickly retreat back to the safety of the pool...
