Session 1; Report
General Summary
After accepting a job, a contract to discover information about the new and already infamous pirate called Skelly Joe, Wegloe up and loses the 250GP down payment to a 12 year old cut purse with a penchant for grinning like the entire world amused him. Our distressed monk did find a bit of redemption when it turned out the kid could run like the wind...almost preternaturally fast...and as our heroes pursued the quick kid, closely, Wegloe heaved with his spear's blunt end a few times, trying to stop him. He got the little bastard once, too, but the kid just got back up and kept running, laughing at some private joke, until our party trapped him at the edge of one of the cliffs that Greynor sits atop. Still smiling, he held his arms out like a cross, and jumped backwards off the cliff! Turns out, a merchant vessel by the name of the Chevalier was passing below, and the devil spawn had landed quite comfortably amidst the mainmast rigging.
Our heroes, not to be outdone by some twelve year old twat-waffle, also jumped, with a little less acumen. Poor Forge missed the boat altogether, but managed to grab a painter line trailing from the newly undocked boat with which to haul himself up. Wegloe, having similar issues, also managed to grab a trailing dock line and clamber up onto the deck, where they found the urchin hiding behind a large man with a strange accent...the captain of the vessel, who appeared to be the boy's - father? Maybe? Somehow, he is the boy's guardian. Turns out the kid, named Stevie, is the cabin boy for the Chevalier, and the captain made him give all the money back. Okay, great.
But the vessel was underway. Our industrious band of intrepid adventurers found themselves working aboard the ship. Forge, in particular, found himself to be well loved by the crew for the meals he cooked them, causing the entire crew to gain morale (and boost the ships quality score).
Then, one night, Tror's keen eyes spotted something moving past the horizon behind them just as the sun was setting. Sure enough, the next morning dawned to a ship following their under a cloud of sail. Gaining on the Chevalier despite our Captain bellowing for more sail, Wegloe spied, through a spyglass (of course), the flapping flag flying farthest from the deck...a grinning skull, with 2 crossed sabers beneath it.
It's Skelly Joe. Just who they've been looking for.
