The players receive their guild orders to report to Captain Rhone of the Irratant. Their gear was stowed upon arrival at port.
After Rangrim, Wichard and Qaloh settle in the ship departs on a 10 day journey to deliver payroll and supplies at Fort Westbrook in the Amedio Pennisula.
The trip was uneventful until the 9th night when one of the crew (Kyuss) was awaken by a terrible scream. Kyuss has foreseen death and evil unleashed and fears the crew is sailing to meet their fate. The crew is rattled and finally one of the crew (Ziglar) became so fearful he tried to stab Bosun Qaloh and threw a knife which was retrieved by Wichard and quickly thrown at Ziglar striking him in the shoulder.
The ship is in port to make needed upgrades and repairs for thenext 3 weeks. The crew is given liberty.
The crew spend the night in town and go the Pub " Rake and Shot" to find the pub only half full and not very busy.
Although the atmosphere was subdued the party did hear a story about someone or something emerging from the ocean, walk near the building and reenter the ocean. The town folk feel uncomfortable walking near the warehouse at night, a fact the party discovers when they walk near the building to satify their curiosity regarding the rumor of the creature.
The party goes to another Pub "Keg and Pony" which is more lively and locates the rest of the crew within to find more information about the warehouse.
Wichard eyes a drunken group of sailors from the House of Toli. Rangrim hits a drunken patron who insulted him whilethe rest of the drunken party laughs at his misfortune. Wichard takes the unconscience man in the back alley to rob him of some of his wages and returns into the pub. While leaving the party overhears a conversation between 2 men outside discussing a rumor of buried treasure being uncovered in the guise of a mining operation. Instead of getting answers about the warehouse they get more questions.
Intrigued by the new rumor they decide to go to the captain who is dining with the Port Maste at the Beached Whalevtavern. They interupt his dinner but get no new answersabout he expedition or the warehouse. Frustrated they return to the ship to rest for the mornings journey.
The party departs for the mining camp and make an uneventful trek to deliver the payroll and supplies to the mining site. Upon arrival Sage ...greets them and tells the party that no gold was discovered but according to his research an artifact fell from the sky in this vicinity. The Eye of Zo - Kalar.
A foreman rushes in to ask for help to recover workeres who were abducted. They found the eye but before it could be secured something came from below and took it and some of the diggers.
The party enteres the mine and finds the chamber containing the artifact has been breached from the floor.
The party enters the tunnel below and travel for 20 minutes before reaching a spacious cavern where a large stone and a few smaller stones are located. They see a pile of some type of debris and while approaching it something flies past the head of Wichard lands on the floor and quickly scurries away. Wichard caught a glimpse of it and it looked like a flying octopus, but he wasn't sure.
