Type: Shipwreck, Mystery, Departure
Location: Luxo → Aboard Ship to Sungrove Islands
The session begins on the storm-shrouded island of Luxo, where the party meets three shipwreck survivors:
- Captain Keln – a leader in the Beam Weavers
- First Mate Jeur
- Saud – a half-elf woman searching for her lost husband
- Shava – the leader of the company Krus works for
The survivors came on the ship Hatsea, which is now wrecked. They are seeking their original destination: the Sungrove Islands, specifically King’s Grove, the capital of the central island known as King's Island.
The hurricane known as the Eye has hovered over Luxo for 40–50 years. Though still active, it has weakened enough to allow ships to pass through it. As part of their mission, the party boards a new vessel, the Sunbake, to escort the survivors back to civilization.
Aboard the Sunbake, a murder occurs—Garth is found dead. The party investigates the scene:
- Garth had been stabbed.
- A magical knife (stone dagger) is found near the body.
- The party deduces he was killed where he was found.
Suspicion falls on a halfling named Ged, but he’s not in his bunk. The party searches the deck and finds him, but he becomes violent.
During the altercation:
- Detric restrains Ged.
- Twain casts an attack spell, which passes through Ged and accidentally hits Detric.
- Ged then disappears overboard.
- Detric mysteriously ages 30 years during the ruckus.
- Bozak Brickbrew is introduced as a helpful dwarf NPC.
- The crew and passengers remain uneasy after the attack.
- The ship sails through the weakened Eye.
- Saud confirms she was shipwrecked on Luxo while searching for her husband, Shen.
- The party learns about a mysterious secret cabal wearing animal-themed masks adorned with pearls, and a possible black market for altered pearls—details currently unknown to the players.
- Captain Keln – survivor, Beam Weaver captain
- Jeur – First Mate of the Hatsea
- Saud – half-elf searching for her husband
- Shava – employer of Krus, survivor
- Ged – halfling, suspected killer, vanished overboard
- Garth – murder victim
- Bozak Brickbrew – dwarf, possibly aligned with the party
- Magical Knife – Found near Garth's body; same as the stone dagger, magical in nature
The Sunbake sails toward the Sungrove Islands, with tensions aboard following Ged’s disappearance, the strange aging of Detric, and the lingering questions surrounding Garth’s death.
