Session 1: Half a Hundred Days Plus Ten Report

General Summary

Ten days after the assault by the Sea Elves, the ship runs out of beer. Morale is low.   The party bides their time by laying traps for rats in the hold, and maliciously tormenting the captain using magic by reminding him of the lover whom they killed. Ramus finds himself once more in a fight with the onetime fistfight champion of the ship, and once more humiliating him. So harsh was the punishment Ramus inflicted upon his fellow crew mate that, for the first time in his life, Ramus felt remorse and sympathy torwads a fallen enemy. The barbarian offered sympathy to his contender by was rebuked.   Later that evening, the Bosun wakes the party in their quarters.

Outside the storm grew worse and the ship settled in for a nerve wracking night.   The captain sees the ship through the deadly storm, like a total badass, and the next morning when the skies were clear, was not able to breath easy. Astoundingly there was something wrong, where there had previously been one island at this distance of his journey, there were now two.
