Session 2 of the Adventures of the Free Company of Hazburgh
General Summary
Session Information
Session Begins, 31st of Abadius, 4744
We began our search across the landscape of the island of Veltoria. We found little along the beaches and considered heading deeper into the islands forests when Zarrak Giantstalker spotted a floating corpse amongst the shallows of the island. We examined the body and discovered notes and potions indicating that the previous adventurers had found an underwater city. We began diving in search of this place. Remus and Zarrak were sent ahead of the party as Zarrak was an expert swimmer and Remus was able to use his keen perception to locate the ruins.What they discovered was a gate being gaurded by strange eel-crab creatures. They fought them and the fight went fairly well except for thier venemous bites that sapped the strength from Zarrak's frame. We used the Potions of Water Breathing to investigate further.
We found all manner of murals, pottery and rotted artefacts of the old world. This included a strange room that seemed to contain a platform for displaying the legendary trident of the Crown Prince of the Lost Civilization.
After several hours of exploration we returned to the surface and enjoyed a beach vacation until the Captain of the fishing vessel returned to pick us up from Veltoria.
12th of Calistril 4744
We return to Grelonia and search the city for libraries and museums. Interested in finding knowledge of the Lost Civilization that once inhabited the Archipelgo here.We stumbled upon a great library with a librarian that had some knowledge of the books. They were a Tiefling of some years and told us we needed to look into a book on the history of the Ancient Arlonien Empire. We took it back to an inn nearby. We stayed for a day. Pouring over the book and writing down all information we had found. We decided to pay Elenion the Chronicler a visit, as a notable archeologist in the city and leader on the knowledge of this Lost Civilization we thought it pertinent to get his insights onto the Leviathan and the Trident.
13th of Calistril "The Meeting with Elenion"
We went to the dockside markets of Grelonia and sought out a fine silk cushion as a sort of display for the amulet we had found within the depths. When seeking an audience with such a notable person, especially as fairly unknown adventurers at this point, we thought it wise to bring a great gift. We aproached his house and offered the gift in exchange for his knwoledge on the Lost Arlonien Empire.Elenion the Chronicler explained that there was little known about the civilization other than they were a bronze age nation with a focus on naval expertise. They also worshipped at least two notable dieties, a god of the sky, and a god of the depths. We went over all that we had found and he was keen to see this ruined city that we had discovered. We told him that if he could get na expedition put together that we would lead him and his scholars to the sunken city.
25th of Calistril 4744
We return to Veltoria and set up camp with Elenion the Chronicler and his group of scholars and sailors. We spend a few days diving and investigating the ruins. Elenion suggests that there is a connection between the images and the people that once lived here and the Hakeen Republic across the Deepwaters to the West. In fact two of the battles depicted are noted within the history of the Republic itself.26th of Calistril, 4744
We decide to check out the two other unsettled islands in the Archipelgo before returning to port.1st of Pharast, 4744
We return to Grelonia and report our findings to the Pathfinder Society. We also look to see how much voyages to the West would cost. The cost, 100gp round trip per adventurer is too much for our pocketbooks.We choose instead to request a secondary quest from the Pathfinder Soceity to colect enough funds to cross the Deepwaters.
This quest requires us to go and search the Whispering Woods for a missing merchant named Elonna.

Elenion the Chronicler
Notes
Chief Theory for the Mysterious Leviathan is that the Trident of the Old Civilization can control or call upon a specific monster and that some pirate or enemy of Grelonia has found this ancient artefact.
