General Summary
The game started at the The Sailor's Last Call on the island of Broken Bay. Our fledgling group were at the tavern taking a brief shore leave where we shared food and drinks. Noticing other members of our crew, Samuel Mackel asked about our next destination and learned that our next stop would be Vide Cay and then to Port Zoon. A war galley named the Damnation had just left the island, leaving the hanging bodies of 3 pirates as a warning to others. Brasin Grayshot recognized two of the hanging bodies, a halfling and an elf, as members of the Revelry. The last body that Brasin didn't recognize was a blonde woman, who didn't look like a pirate. Reporting into the captain, Kaylin Gell, we learned that the woman was named Magie who worked as a book keeper for the Exalted Collection Auction House in Port Damali, which she learned from another captain for the Vurmas Trading Company.
Our ship departed from the Broken Bay before a storm could roll in. Kymil Siannodel enjoyed the storm above deck for a time before returning to the group, who were passing the time inside. The group was eventually approached by Nim asking for us to speak to the captain, who asked us to find a missing crew of another ship belonging to the Vurmas Trading Company. There boat was spotted on the Inthane Isles, where they were searching for an ancient religious artifact. We would have two days before the ship would come to pick us up, and there would be a bonus if we could also find the artifact. We agreed to take the job, which would pay the group 600 gp. Stoping at Vide Cay, we picked up several climbers kits in preperation, and before departing for the island our captain warned us to not touch the artifact. She didn't know what it was, but she was concerned that it could be dangerous.
Samuel Mackel and Ner pulled the other two to shore in a small dingy, where they found the abandoned boat of the missing crew. Brasin Grayshot discovered a pouch near the treeline that appeared to have gotten stuck on a bush, which contained the following scattered notes: sea god, eye, ruins directly north at the island's center. Brasin also discovered tracks that had dried in clay, which appeared to follow the tree line. We decided to follow the tree line in that direction for an hour, while Ner cast Beast Sense and guided his pterodactyl companion to find the center of the island. We discovered a rocky outcropping that extended into the sea, which was the end of the shoreline. Samuel and Brasin were able to hear water running under the outcropping and were able to locate the cave entrance. They waited for Ner to come out of his Beast Sense, who had succesfully located the ruins in the center of the island. Together they waded into the tide cave and were attacked by several Merrow. During the combat, Krymil noticed a thinner Merrow at the back of the cave, who stood up out of the water to observe the combat before diving back under water in an apparently deeper pool in the back.
