Plot points/Scenes

Welcome to Saltmarsh
The once-vibrant Bio-luminescent waves that have accompanied you on your slow journey to the Saltmarsh docks fade in the morning sunrise. Coastal birds circle above you caw-ing out greetings to the Saltmarsh community. Dockworkers, mostly human with the occasional halfling or gnome, scurry about preparing their ships for various voyages while the work bell chimes. A small puppy whines, weaving around the bustling city street while a distant desperate call echoes through the streets. You see what looks to be a 9-year-old boy turn the corner. He rushes towards the dog who in turn rushes towards him, creating a joyous and slobbery reunion. Various local vendors set out their wares in the sea-side city markets and the smell of fresh bread hovers in the air. You pull up to a small open dock, and are approached by the dockmaster, a young woman in her early 20's, wearing a loose maroon smock with small yellow-embroidered designs on her sleeve. June Sone

Lunch at The Wicker Goat (#3) As you walk down the dirt sidewalk, your attention is drawn to a short, stocky man being pushed out the double-doors of a two-story tavern. Landing underneath the tavern's dangling sign – a wicker goat – the small man scrambles to his feet, cursing at the two people in front of him: a tall middle-aged man with a stern face and a red-haired female dwarf, burly arms crossed before her.
"Hold your tongue, before you say something that really gets me mad, you old seadog," the tall man says angrily. You're free to visit if you want an ale that doesn't taste like the piss you serve down at the Net, but I'll not tolerate you stealing away my customers right under my nose, Kreb [(Kreb Shenker] !" Wearing an angry shade of red under his thick whiskers, Kreb responds with an accusatory finger: "Bugger you, Lankus, I's just doin' me civic duty by informin' the folks o'er 'ere that there'll be free food and drink at the Empty Net tonight, court'sy of Mr. Primewater. Why, Lady Copperlocks [Manistrad Copperlocks], I thought ye and yers was 'posed to keep order 'round 'ere, but ye're letting this landlubber violate me, while ye imprison honest fishermen just tryin' to earn a living wage!"
The red-haired dwarf holds back Lankus with an outstretched arm, as she says: "We've imprisoned smugglers, not fishermen, although I can imagine how ye'd have a hard time distinguishing between the two, with the clientele you keep. And while it is Councilman Primewater's [Gellan Primewater] right to hold a banquet in their 'honor' at yer establishment, it is also Lankus' right to forcefully evict unwanted patrons from his private property. Go about yer business now, Kreb, before I report ye to Captain Eliander [Eliander Fireborn] for disturbing the peace – and my lunch!"
