36 - 7/22

The carpenter Hartha offered information on the mysterious individual that hired the Wererat hit on the party, in return for clearing a cove of some mysterious "dragons". Deciding this a fair exchange, Pink bought a large rowboat and the group began to head up the coast.
On the way, Morrigan pulled Dantas lifeless corpse from her bag of holding, and using the golden scroll of Raise Dead brought her old friend back to life. The party did their best to bring Danta up to speed, having found himself far from home and in strange new company, along with the mysterious eclipse in the sky.
After some more sailing, the group found the cove and began to sail towards the shore. The perceptive party noticed a few strange creatures swimming up from the rubble of an old ship, and a bunch of Fey Eel Hounds attacked! Not long after, a strange Coral Drake swam up and sprayed poison needles at the group. Thankfully with the combined might of the party it was vanquished, and Pink took its head as a souvenir.
Deciding to see if the drake had any treasure, the group swam around until its meager hoard was discovered. Panic also stumbled upon an oddity, a helm of The Stoneheart Valley Trading Company, its lack of wear indicating it had not fallen here that long ago.
With the task complete the group returned to Santa Quint where they planned to participate in the upcoming Mad Dash. The race began at Taryns Planks and winded through the town to the inn. It was a nail biting race but Pinks won, pushing her former shipmate Mr. Plugg into the water and taking the Piranha daggers as a prize! Morrigan was a close second with Ruven bringing up the third place spot, gaining a Ring of Protection and Bag of Holding that the pirate lord, Alicia 'The Ghost' Tattersail, offered up as a reward.
With the race over and all Barnabas's officers defeated in the games or scared into leaving, the party prepared for the final confrontation with Pinks mutinous nemesis.
