WEATHERING the Storm

STORM! Santori is dangling from a rope over the side of the ship. We jumped right into action. Both Torrielle and Stilga went to work to pull Santori back onto the ship's deck. The lurching and movement of the ship made it hard for me to focus on my spells. I tried to web up the broken forcebar (front pole and sail). While we worked to reclaim the crew member and ship, we were attacked by some Snake-like fishfolk (Marrow- Fish folk with snake like features). They tried to harpoon us and drag us off the ship! The rest of the crew fought hard but Tilly was speared and dragged over board. We tried to stop them but there wasn't anything we could do to get her back. The Marrow dragged he down deep and fast...
We rode out the remainder of the storm in a somber tone. It was hard to lose our first crew member. Tilly will be missed. After a few hours, the storm slowly passed. We assessed the damages, and made our way to Crocadile Isle. After nearly a month of travel, we have found our target. We have come up to a long crocodile shaped island. I contacted Skahonen with Sending to asking if he is here. All I got was EAST. Made our way around the island to the east side to find the Zephyr and Skahonen. The Zephyr appeared fully abandoned. Skahonen informed us that it was like that when he got here and that most things have fled from him. He wants gems, potions, or any precious metals form the island.
We investigated the Zephyr. We found some ore but nothing real else in the hold of the ship for goods. We found no real treasure but found a journal from Captain Brand. It informed us that they went ashore to the island. In the journal, it does warn about not having good luck finding fresh water or dealing with the fumes.
We decided to take Algar, Stilga, Kalibek, and Torrielle with me on the island while Kuresh gets the crew to repair the Zephyr, pull the ore from the hold, and be prepared for any fights. If they are in any danger, they should take the ship. I can reach out with Magic to call them back.
 
We stepped off the long boat to a smelly sulfuric beach...
