Session 1: The Expedition Begins

General Summary

The party set off on their expedition aboard the Errant Fortune. They settled into their cabins after some fuss over the amount of baggage brought on board by Piper. The party helped out with preparations while amythyst played her lute and sang. Once on their way, it didn't take long for Amethyst to succumb to the unfortunate side effects of experiencing her first boat trip. She retired to her room with a bucket.
  An object was spotted floating in the ocean a distance aways, and the party decided to go investigate. It turned out to be a humanoid creature floating on a chunk of decking. Piper went overboard to investigte, finding the creature to be an unconcious Seabold. Mara helped get the raft aboard with some handy water shaping magic.
  Upon examination by Pippin, the ships medic, it was discovered the Seabold was very badly injured and the wound had become infected. Pippin cleaned it out and then used his healing magic upon the Seabold. The wound closed up and the seabold fell into a deep slumber, and was carried below decks to rest.
  After a few hours the seabold awoke, and the party went to speak them. The seabold had been part of a crew aboard a trading vessel. They had been set upon during the night by some strange fish creatures. The seabold said he had never seen their like before. He suffered a blow to the head and went over board, but doesn't remember much after that.
  Amethyst spoke to the Captain about allowing the seabold to stay on the ship and work for his keep. The Captain agreed. That night the crew took turns keeping watch as they were nervous after the seabolds tale. All except Mara, who believed the crew could keep good enough watch themselves, after all it was their job.
  Amethyst took first watch, fining some solace at last in the night sky and the peacefulness of being at sea. She wrote in her journal of her thoughts and experiences so far then headed to bed, after waking Pippin for his turn at watch. As she was patrolling the deck, she heard a noise in the water then a scraping sound on the hull. She raised the alarm, politely. The first mate, Norrel Highdale, heard her and shouted the alarm call, and the crows nest began ringing the bell.
  As Pippin looked on she saw a misshapen figure crawl over the railing, then she others silhoueted against the night sky doing the same at other parts of the ship. And this is where the cruel GM ended the session.
