## Adventure Summary:

The party begin the adventure meeting up with the Pirate known as Bonebeard and learn from her that we are hunting down a Pirate lord known as Artem on his island called Praizert. She says when told that his debts are paid with her he will come peacefully. On the way there many members o the party interact with the crew in various ways and Nwalme ends up winning a pair of shoes from a gnome in a knife throwing contest and the gnome refuses to take no for an answer towards the bet. The party eventually makes landfall and begin heading up to the palace. Inside they are greeted by a massive half octopus half humanoid individual who introduces themselves and Artem. When told his debt has been paid Artem laughs and his guards suddenly surround and seize the party. Try as they might they are outnumbered and soon stripped of their equipment and locked into a cell. A small gnome is chattering to themselves in the corner and demands his shoes to anyone and everyone. quick thinking Gnarlap looks at Nwalme who had won the pair of gnome boots and send out an invisible servant out of the cell to find them to bring back. During this time the guards some to check on the party and the group attempts a "fake fight" to lure them in but the guards see through this and being to threaten to bash the parties skulls in. Grorg has none of that and and mouths off and spits in the face of a guard who then drags him out of the cell into a separate room. while this is happening the unseen servant returns with two small boots which are given to the chattering gnome who immediately rips them apart and begins regaining focus and telling the party to begin placing this putty in certain spots. While doing this the guards come back with Grorg as the party hastily pretends they weren't up to anything. Once the guards leave the party continues to place the putty where instructed. The gnome then tells the party to group up on them as they begin to ignite the mixture. in an instant the ceiling collapses down around the party with them safely in the middle. The party dashes out o the now open escape and makes its way down countless halls being chased by patrol after patrol until they enter a room with the guard who tortured Grorg who is wearing a beautiful Rob Liefeld-esque shirt. the part squares down with the massive guard until the ceiling above him begins to give out and crumples upon him knocking him out. Before leaving each under Grorg explanation reach in to one of the pouches to grab something helpful, everyone but Nyx who instead finds a coin that turns their fingers to gold. With no time to panic they beging running out where they eventually get to a jungle pathway, all is not quiet though as a massive T-Rex bursts out of the foliage with Artem in toe. Grorg being in commun with nature reach out to the T-Rex only for Artem to twist a ring on his finger and send a shocking wave through the T-Rex who resumes its chase. As the party runs to the coast doing all they can to stop the beast they notice a large golden tooth shining like Artem's ring. Grorg stops and turns heel back towards the beast and taking his maul he slams the tooth out of the T-Rex. and returns to calming the beast. Having found an opening the party uses this time to escape to the beach where a small boat of Bonebeard's crew is waiting... all but Nwalme, who run back into the jungle only to return moments later with a solid gold tooth in their arms grinning ear to ear. The T-Rex grateful for its freedom turns its ire to Artem who it is now free of. Bonebeards crew has successfully capture smaller pirates and have them aboard the rescue boat. The party set off watching the T-Rex chase down Artem.
