Suvens Cove
- The Situation:
- Ghosts & ghost ship in harbor every night, only at night
- Started appearing only a 1-1/2 weeks ago
- Hiding out in Bernard’s (town banker) basement / meet remaining town folk:
- Taliyah: a tabaxi woman, sell sword, in Suven’s Cove for only 3 weeks, came in with a transport ship delivering goods
- Glenn & Hana: human couple, from town
- Melanie: well-off halfling woman, shop owner in town
- Only other person in town is a old man named Blaine who lives in the light house
- Many people including town guards dead
- The gang decide to investigate the town during the day
- Hired Taliyah to add some extra muscle to the party (she costs 100gp per day)
Suvens Cove Light House
- Investigated layout of town & talked to Blaine
- Blaine is a crazy old man, long line of ancestors work the light house
- Old story, passed down through his ancient family line:
- 800 years ago, green flash at sun set
- Obuntu, bald black man with a magic spear, lived long ago
- During his time, 800 years ago, ghost ship, creepy ghost children, ghost pirates come up on shore / steal food & bring back to ship / kill & terrorize the towns folk
- Obuntu says F that and took his magic spear, killed the ghosts on land then went out to the ghost ship, fought some ghosts & somehow made it disappear
- Unfortunately Obuntu disappeared as well, was never seen again, however his spear washed up on shore
- Spear was then placed in a Crypt near town
Crypt of the Cove
- Soved riddle to open crypt. Tsubasa (god of the sea) themed. (Merfolk languae “tsu” means “sea”)
- Main Room: 4 status, all heads bowed, reflecting important people buried in the crypt:
- Suvan Valencia, sextant & compass, navigator, founder of cove
- Reya Sirensong, the Wayfarers Mother, scroll in hand, gives food to people
- Tiberius Stormwind, spear, fighting, Vengeful Hunter
- Korrin Weyland, The Uniter, Knight, great sword, leader of the people, Assimar
- We find fifth crypt later, had no statue in this room: this was the crypt of Obuntu
- Note: Something about Pirate ship returning to this cove because Lucern was the only safe place
- Many puzzles, riddles, secret doors, & traps
- Offering room filled with gold, but it is likely a trap, we simply leave offering, take the disc, no problem
- More stuff, killed a basilisk, and retrieved Obuntu’s spear
- That night we lay low, observe the ghost behavior, they are stealing food, bringing it back to the ship
- Run into ghost child again, same weird shit about “it’s mommy falling down stairs”, this time we kick its ass no problem
- Rest at Bernard’s house, wait until next night before trying to infiltrate the pirate ship
Pirate Ship
- At night, use magic foldable boat, magical darkness hid us from the pirate ship
- Seek aboard, distracted many of the ghost pirates with an illusion of a kobold enhanced with thaumaturgy
- Stern of ship, found a weird crystal, black amethyst
- Torinn remembered an odd dream he had regarding a similar crystal:
- In dream, everything dark & weird, Torinn’s father told him: “Sorry, dark in here.” “Burnt, stumbling, dark eyes.” “I am lost. Can you show me.” Another voice says: “Release.” And a large crystal is shattered. Similar crystal as to the one on the ship. Torinn has no idea what any of this means
- Giant weird portal with tentacles opens up and the ship begins getting dragged in, the gang jumps out a window off the ship & swims back to boat, the ship vanishes
Crypt & Town
- The town is quiet and at peace
- Remember offering room in crypt is filled with tons of gold & jewels, know it is a trap, but fuck it, go back for some treasure
- Fight giant crab who is resistant & immune to tons of damage types, hard won fight, but succeed, get tons of treasure
- At Bernard’s Taliyah never wants to work with us again
- Melanie gives us a discount at her shop in town
- Lay low in town a couple of days to make sure the ghosts do not return
