__NOTOC__
==Recap==
It is the middle of summer and no work has come in Shenanigans this week except a old lady down the street needing a cat taken out of a tree. Desmond tells the party that he is going on a Beach Vacation north of Kurshwikk, and he hires them as "bodyguards" to keep annoyances away from him and his family. A group of NPC adventurers are hired to take care of the bar during this time.
===Day One===
A day later everyone arrives in Kurshwikk. Desmond has hired cabanas. One for his family. One for Borch, then two for the party.
On the first day on the beach a swordsman tries to walk up to Desmond to challenge him to a duel to prove his strength. Tapion intercept the man who refuses to delay his desire to fight. Tapion ends up fighting the man and almost killing him with a blow to the chest, but with The Wrok's help, stabilize him. Gerald magically heals him later.
A woman wants to get Desmond's autograph, but Cassandra intercepts the woman and stops her coming over.
Later in the day a terrible band begins to play. Tapion goes over to stop them playing. The band and their audience refuse to leave. Tapion then annoyingly interrupts the song over and over. The band then move on up the beach.
A giant seagull flys overhead, steals a picnic basket from a nearby family. Lizzy tells the party that the Giant Seagull is an endangered species and it isn't to be injured.
The rest of the day is uneventful. Tapion plays cards with Desmond.
===Day Two===
Into he morning Gerald catches some fish, cooks them, and serves them to everyone.
Just before noon Cassandra notices someone is drowning in the water. None of the party can swim. The Wrok goes up with rope to save the person. The Wrok can't swim and is forced to come back. Gerald ends up getting a NPC who can swim to save the drowning person. Gerald uses healing magic to help the person recover.
Then a crabperson comes out of the water and grabs Gerald. Cassandra then kills the Crabperson.
The giant seagull returns and steals Desmond's picnic basket. Tapion casts darkness on the picnic basket. The seagull freaks out and drops the basket. 
A woman comes over to get Desmond's autograph but The Wrok politely gets her to leave, but says she can sent fanmail to Shenanigans and can get an autograph that way. 
In the night Tapion interrupts someone who was sneaking over to Desmond's cabana. The person flees when spotted.
===Day Three===
Desmond starts a bonfire on the beach. A park ranger comes down to the beach to stop the fire. Tapion & Gerald goes with the park ranger to get the proper permits. They have to pay 28 gold.
On the beach a 6-foot oyster washes up. Desmond gets a giant pearl from it.
The woman wanting the autograph from the first day comes back. Cassandra throws her away.
Later in the day a naked goblins family run out of the forest and to the beach with beach supplies. Cassandra talks with the matriarch of the family in Orcish and threatens them. The goblins angrily move further down the beach.
The party intercept a woman claiming to be a old flame of Desmond's. She trys to run past the party so The Wrok round-house kicks her down and Tapion casts darkness. The woman flees.
===Day Four===
As Desmond and Borch are making pyramids on the beach, a sand golem appears. The party step in and fight it. As the party attack, it becomes smaller and smaller until it is tiny and they destroy it.
A trio of mermaids then arrive on the beach. Desmond, Lizzy and Borch go to walk with the mermaids. During this a protest group of 10 people carrying placards come up the beach towards them. Cassandra casts darkness on the protesters. The Protesters flee. The Wrok burns the placards on the bonfire.
3 hours later the protesters come back to the beach with the Sheriff and the Town Guard. The Sheriff doesn't want to be there, thinking this is frivolous. The party annoy the protesters enough they just give up and leave.
===Day Five===
The people leave Kurshwikk and head back to Bergshire. When everyone get inside Shenanigans they can see it is trashed. There is a dead body in the chandelier. The NPCs are weeping to Desmond about a portal opened up and that Gremlins and Imps came out and trashed Shenanigans. The NPCs are forced to clean up the mess.
