What a piece of JUNK

by Lunadris Marianath

Stilga, Torrielle and I left the tavern to see what the Salvage shop had. The shop was made out of an old beached ship with the shop built right into the hull. We found a very cluttered, yet organized shop. the owner, Rudis, is... something. He seems to have swallowed a fish bone or something that he keeps trying to hack up. I can suggest a good jellyfish remedy later... He was able to shuck a few clams to find me a pearl for identifying magics, he also had a few neat things. There was this Idol of a Leviathan!! It was small but looked amazing. He sold it to me for only 4gp! We ended up buying some healing potions, the idol, the pearl, and two conch shells. I was able to determine that the idol and one of the conches was magical.
We made our way back to the tavern and found a well on his way Kalibek. I idnetified the blackpowder bag to determine it was cursed but should be safe now. We will need to find a way to remove that from Kalibek, and tbh, myself... I identified the saber, at +1 magic weapon, the idol (which summons an illusion of a massive Leviathan 1/day), the conch (lets you talk to fish or command fish? not to sure), and our necklace (which lets the wearer breath water, air, or gases and give adv on saves for poisons). All and all, got some good things.
We played some drinking games, which I really didn't understand. They asked me an emberrasing question, "Have you ever kissed a fish?" I don't know why it was embaressing. I have kissed a fish but I did clarify with them, I have kissed a fish but I have never passionately kissed a fish. It was a weird exchange.
Stilga asked Kalibel about his ears... Kalibek was very slow to respond but ended up telling us that he was initially a slave on a ship and that his previous owner did that to his ears. He didnt have a name or anything. He jumped ship to end it, but someone found him and taught him bardic ways. He took the name Kalibek and began roaming the seas. The ship had a Hydra flag... That's a pretty hardcore origin story...
We tried to lighten the mood and went to go get our provisions. Our crew was not in sea sailing shape so we ended up extending shore leave to the next morning. We loaded up the provisions and Kuresh confirmed that we had enough, more than enough grain, but enough. Made our last prep and long rested.
Woke up and Cinturi, Alberto, Gianii, and Theodoro (the brothers from Stilga's encounter) all joined the ship.
We made sail that morning and spent a good week or so sailing towards Crocodile Isle.
I tried to send a magical Sending to Cass... err Cascade as she prefers. I told her I was ok, i am on the material plane, and asking if they were ok. No response. Not sure if she is here on the material plane, if she is dead, or if the spell failed to get to her on the water plane. Either way, I tried and can try to send it to others. The crewmates know that I can send messages as well.
As we sailed, a massive storm rolled in, we battened down and prepared for the worst. The storm rolled the ship and we heard a snap as one of the cross beams to the sail broke. Cinturi tried to grab a line to stop it and was flung out over the side of the ship!!! Still holding on, it is a race to save him!!
