## Major Plot Points

* Vulveeta, Olivia, Voloth, Dani, and Calypso went to Refuge Bay to confront Captain Eurin Gayjoy, Merchant Prince of the Seas.
* Upon arriving at the Bay, the party found a small military camp at the beach. There were several small tents with a large one in the center. Eurin’s ship, The Sea Word, was anchored about 100 feet off the coast.
* Calypso stayed in the forest while Dani made herself and the others invisible to sneak around the camp.
* Voloth had his old goose fly over to the ship and drop a grenade to cause a distraction.
* Outside the large tent, the party heard a man drinking heavily and smashing glass to the ground. A woman said, “You’re looking beefier, sir.”
* Olivia then went to another tent and found a man sleeping in a cot. She tried to strangle him with rope, however, he survived the attempt and fought back. Olivia then killed him in battle.
* Vulveeta successfully snuck into another tent and found a woman practicing her sword work. She poked her rapier right through the swordswoman’s throat. She scalped the woman and stole her clothes.
* Voloth found a tent where a man was writing letters back home. The goliath successfully knocked him out and stole his clothes to impersonate him.
* Dani found a tent that smelled like stew and then continued on. She was nearly caught when she stepped on a crab and loudly cracked its shell. A bunch of guards then huddled around her area.
* Vulveeta, posing as Dana, started erasing Dani’s footprints in the sand. She then made a scene so the others would pay attention to her. She and Dani snuck off towards the shoreline and backtracked to the camp.
* Voloth found the weapons tent and Olivia joined him in there. Voloth found the Miracle Whip
	+ 1d4 + 1d8 radiant damage + Strength or Dexterity
	+ Reach = 10ft
* A still invisible Dani went to the large tent and saw Slade, The Merchant Prince of War, drinking several magical potions. His two guards left when he ran out to fetch his secret stash in the weapons tent. Dani noticed the potions were increasing his muscle mass. She then used her sneak attack to cast Disintegrate on Slade.
* Olivia and Voloth fought their way to Slade’s tent and started fighting him alongside Dani.
* Slade was much tougher than their last encounter back in Episode 1. He could regenerate health, parry with his weapon, and strike three times. He nearly slayed Dani.
* Calypso, seeing the action, rushed to the camp and summoned a storm sphere to start picking off camp guards.
* Vulveeta found a woman bathing in one of the individual tents. She hogtied her and took a bath while most of the fighting was happening. She finally joined the fray and landed the killing blow on Slade.
* AWW gathered the survivors and Olivia offered them amnesty with her paladin order if they shared their secrets. After a lot of attempts to get them to spill their secrets, they finally said they were here working for Slade who was drinking potions provided by the nation of Thay. They shared Thay was sending the Merchant Princes several magical weapons and items.
* Captain Eurin Gayjoy arrived at the beach riding his dragon turtle. He brokered a deal with AWW, exchanging his ship and information for his life. Gayjoy said that Highfather Zitembe, the Merchant Prince of Magic and last standing Merchant Prince, is hiding on the Isle of Ubtao off the coast of Port Nyanzaru. It’s magically protected so the only way there is through the Temple of Savras.
* Aboard The Sea Word, AWW promised the ship’s crew they could join the queen’s navy for clemency. They took the party home.
* Queen Maxima overruled AWW’s deal. She wouldn’t forgive the pirates’ role in the attack against her city and provide them jobs. She had her guards arrest the crew immediately. She covered the cost of hiring a new crew for the ship, which she agreed AWW could captain.
* The party rechristened the ship The Blowhole and decided to use it as a cruise to generate 5,000 gold a month after expenses.
