Session 17

**Boar Island (November 30th, 2018)**

The PCs got to know Noble and Lily, and Ignatius contrived a reason to take over their duties. Tryx encouraged Ragnar to teach them how to fight, and Altair discussed with Mr. Burroughs the consequences of these passengers learning about their mission.

Tryx tried to heal Petronella’s burns unsuccessfully, and Altair learned that Petronella hates all slavers.

One evening Ignatius gathered the crew and assumed his alter ego “Wignatius.” He told them all a tale of his own creation, and his adventures with the PCs. The performance included music and costume changes, and was met with mass applause.

Later on, the PCs gathered in the Armory to discuss Tryx’s increasing nihilism. Tryx told them he was homesick, and that his convictions had led him to leave his home, but recent events left him convinced this was meritless. Ignatius argued that Tryx’s magic was evidence that his god hadn’t abandoned him, and that he survived due to providence.

Lady Yen translated another journal entry for Ignatius. He told her that his tonic had run out and she admitted that its ingredients were difficult to find. Later, she revealed to him that she keeps a woman called Amelia hidden in her room, frozen in ice. Yen explained that she intends to use the jin’s wish to save her.

As the ship finally approached Boar Island it was attacked by harpies. The male crew were charmed by their song, and though the PCs were able to defeat the monsters, the ship was damaged against the rocks. Following the battle Ignatius saved Gabbo and Gobbo from drowning. The PCs searched shipwrecks on the shore, including the Gorgon’s Bite, before they discovered the familiar figurehead of the Neptune’s Fortune. Aboard this badly damaged ship they found the Captain’s log and the body of a dead dragonborn.

The PCs made their way into the jungle in search of the fourth idol, and came upon a village of wood elves. Ignatius concocted a story to explain the party’s presence on the island, and they were invited to stay the night. That evening they heard tales of the White Tusk and Black Agatha. As the PCs slept the wood elves attacked.
Nordic Cross

The Nordic Cross is an archipelago of 4 main islands: Thor, Tyr, Odin, and Loki, and each island boasts a towering statue of its namesake. Each island is accessible via a one-way teleportation circle located on one of the other islands, which makes up a travel route for the residents. The most common races in the Nordic Cross are Humans, Dwarves, and Goliath.

The Nordic Cross is known for very unique weather, as each island experiences a different season. The Nordic Cross is governed by four baros who rule separately, but work together in council. The primary industry is whaling, and the products from that include meat, bone weapons, oils, and the highly sought after perfumes of the Bjornstahd.

**Islands:**

Thor

Tyr

Odin

Loki

   The Ebon Hawk docked in the Nordic Cross for 3 days to restock following its early departure from New Haven Harbour, following Yorrick's attack.
Midhaven

Midhaven is an island in the Cerulean Dominion. It is known primarily for its production of the port wine, Toussaint, and for its many windmills. It is a wealthy island that is an important trade route between Landovia and the other islands of the Cerulean Dominion. It was the original destination of the Drunken Minnow before it was attacked.

**Notable Residents:**

Lady Grey

Captain Gregor Malador

Llewyn Mardanson (deceased)
Chapter 3

**Chapter 3:The Ice Hag (November 1, 2019)**

Following Penelope’s transformation and disappearance, Remington
Farnsworth uses all of his resources to track her down. Via aarakocra accounts and
ship sightings he determines that Penelope has made her way to Boar Island. Farnsworth
has the clerics at the Temple of Sarenrae teleport him and Beyla to the Nordic
Cross, where they recruit Javik Smithers and Ogden Cork to help them rescue
Penelope.

The party makes their way to Boar Island via ship, to find
the island has been totally covered in ice by a blizzard. They observe a
massive storm giant crossing the island, and elect to climb the icy cliff away
from it. Upon reaching the peak the party battles Penelope in her ice hag form,
and endures powerful cold magic. Cork manages to climb an icy roof and grapple
Penelope on her broom. However, they both plummet off the cliff when Beyla
knocks Penelope unconscious with an arrow. Farnsworth is able to catch
Penelope, but Cork falls onto the rocks 100 feet below. Smithers stabilizes
Penelope, and Farnsworth is able to get him in range to resuscitate Cork.
Smithers uses his final spell slot to remove the hag’s curse, and Penelope is restored
to her child form.

This chapter occurs during weeks 38-48 of the main campaign.
Session 34

**Rosetown (February 28, 2020)**

The party frees the chained slaves beneath the first windmill
and seeks to do the same at the others. However, one of the windmills has been
set on fire, alerting soldiers to their location. The party is able to free the
slaves at two more of the windmills but is forced to leave those in the fourth
when reinforcements arrive. The party leads the slaves into the wheat field and
defeats four mounted knights. Ignatius argues that the party should use the
cover of night to attack Grey Manor, but Ragnar says his only priority is
freeing his sister, Aryll, from Rosetown. The party relents and follows him. On
the way, Russell, the defacto leader of the slaves, tells the party that people
think he is cursed and blame him for Yorrick’s attack. Learning that Russell’s
son was taken in the attack, Ignatius surmises that his son is Poe, and tells
Russell that he has a good feeling that his son is still alive.

Ignatius causes a distraction at the Rosetown gate by polymorphing
into a Mammoth, which allows the rest of the party to sneak in to search for Aryll.
On their way to the camp, Altair encounters Investigator Bram, who has been
hiding in his family home and eliminating the guards at night. Altair
recognizes the home and realizes that Bram is the son of his old friend, Llewyn.
Together with Bram, and aided by Felix’s guard uniform, the party is able to rescue Aryll
from the camp. Hiding in the wheat fields, Ignatius sees guards moving from
Rosetown towards Grey Manor. The party recovers with the slaves in the woods,
and Ignatius rejoins the group. Ignatius shares his plan to use the wish to go
back in time to prevent the collateral damage they have caused.

The party makes their way to Grey Manor, but encounter no
guards on the way. Ragnar’s mole in the Manor gets them inside, and is revealed
to be Avery from the Ebon Hawk. Avery gives them the layout of Grey Manor and
explains the Lady Grey has fortified the great hall with soldiers, and that all
the nobles are locked in their rooms until the ritual is completed. The party
sets the Manor on fire, and burns the stables, and then waits for the guards to
come extinguish it. However, the guards have strict orders to not engage, and
tell the party that “Lady Grey is waiting for you.” Eventually the guards and
nobles begin to exit the Manor via the second-floor windows, and the party dispatches
them easily. However, as Grey Manor burns, Captain Gregor and his troops ride
from Rosetown to investigate. Meanwhile, Lady Grey’s ritual is completed, and
she emerges from the flames with her remaining acolytes and archers, flanked by
a 15 ft tall demon.
Beyla

Beyla is a female dwarf from the Nordic Cross. She worships Berronar Truesilver. She was raised in an orphanage and grew to be a tough and talented blacksmith. She was recruited to join the Ebon Hawk crew during a shore leave in Thor, when she was impressed by their deeds. She works as the ship's quartermaster.

When Penelope was brought on board Beyla became a surrogate mother of sorts. She accompanied the party to New Haven when they returned Penelope to her grandfather Farnsworth.
Session 29

**Assassins on the Road to Naldum (November 8th, 2019)**

Tryx and Rurik purchase horses and gear up for the 4 week journey
to Naldum. Tryx casts divination to speak with his god, Berronar Truesilver,
and learns that the Ingotspire will not erupt in the coming seven days. As they
are leaving Anchorage they notice a hot air balloon off in the distance. A week
into their trip they set up camp near two travelers: a fire genassi, Agris, and
his goliath bodyguard, Kalroth. After initial tensions they realize they are
all traveling to Naldum, and join together. Each day the hot air balloon can be
seen on the horizon and seems to be getting closer. Midway through the journey
the party is attacked by a burly assassin with a club, and another assassin
firing arrows from the hot air balloon. The assassins seem focused on Rurik,
and he is nearly killed by arrows before Tryx revives him. Tryx is able to
bring the balloon down with a lightning storm, and Agris hastes Kalroth who is
able to defeat the larger assassin. Together the party kills the archer
assassin. Upon searching their bodies and the balloon basket, the party learns
that the pair were involved with the Skyreach Circus and were hired by the
Pruitt family to kill Rurik for 1000 gp.

As the party passes through the Bellowing Tips mountain
range, they near Naldum and see that the walled city is under siege by a 200
foot tall behemoth. The city’s defense force struggles to keep the creature at
bay, and the party keeps a wide berth and enters the city via the front gate.
As the sun sets, the creature, dubbed the Calamity, retreats to the mountains
for the night. Inside Naldum’s walls the citizens recover and prepare for tomorrow,
and the party learns that the creature has returned every morning and retreats
every night for the past six weeks. Kalroth reconnects with Jennora, a
priestess and his onetime paramour. Meanwhile the rest of the party heads to
the temple of Berronar Truesilver, and meet Tryx’s mother, Aleris. She is the
chief healer at the temple, and explains that the Elder Council that governs
the city (Melgar, Orobok, Lurtrum, Korlag) is split on whether to fight or evacuate
the city. She reveals that no one knows what has caused the Calamity, but she
suspects Tryx’s father is involved because he arrived around the time of the
first attack and hasn’t been seen since.
Session 25

**Leaving New Haven (August 2, 2019)**

Balor shared the news that his father was sick in Anchorage,
and Ignatius convinced Lady Yen to delay returning to the Ebon Hawk for three
days in the hopes that they could use this time to find a teleportation circle
to Anchorage. With Farnsworth’s help, Tryx and Rurik were able to find a book
that described a teleportation circle to a small temple to Arromar, two days
outside of Naldum. The party ran some final errands around the city including: sending a letter home to Anchorage, giving
the bank heist plans to Henrietta in hopes of implicating Thorn, picking up
their clothing order from Norris, visiting Ainsley in the Hall of Respite and
ordering 3 years’ worth of flowers to be laid at her statue, and following
cannon tracks to the docks. Altair properly identified the Tiny Turtle as the
ship from Black Agatha’s cauldron, and the party met its Captain, Cuttlescar.
The party decided against using the teleportation circle and instead paid
Cuttlescar 200 gold to take them to Anchorage.

Ignatius discovered that he was unable to take off his
troll-scale ring, but that some clerics could for a fee. And over the next week
the ring regrew Ignatius’s hand!

When the party went to say goodbye to Farnsworth and Lady Yen
they found that Penelope had been cursed by Black Agatha and finally succumbed
to the her nightmares by transforming into an ice hag. Despite Tryx’s best
efforts the party was unable to track Penelope, and they parted ways with Farnsworth,
and Lady Yen returned to the Ebon Hawk. The party planned to meet the Ebon Hawk
in Thor in 22 weeks for the final push to the Infinite Isle.

The party arrived back in Anchorage in the middle of the
night, and headed to Balor’s family’s castle. Along the way they saw no signs of
the Ashlander incursion that Balor had been warned about; however, they ran
into some guards who insisted on escorting them. Ignatius recognized one of the
guards who tried to signal to him, and Rurik and Tryx questioned the
motivations of the other guards. Combat broke out and the party defeated
several waves of guards before the draw bridge was lifted, leaving them outside
the castle just as Jameson arrived riding a clay golem.
Yorrick

The Dread Pirate Yorrick is a tiefling and captain of the Golden Galleon warship. Along with his crew he has begun raids and attacks across much of the Cerulean Dominion, failing to adhere to any laws, including those loosely followed by pirates. In a period of only a few years Yorrick went from being completely unknown to being one of the most feared pirates in the region, and his reputation of carnage and destruction precede him always. His current mission is to retrieve the 4 idols that will lead to the jin on the Infinite Isles, and he doggedly pursues the Ebon Hawk to this end. He is notably responsible for the Massacre at Marauders Bay and the recent Burning of New Haven Harbour.

\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_

Golden Galleon Crew:

Poe
Boar Island

Boar Island is located several weeks South East from the Bay of Marauders. It has rocky beaches and overgrown jungles, and its shore is lined with the wreckage from several ships. The island is aptly named for its high wild boar population.

The Clerics of Sarenrae's missionary project on the island was abandoned decades ago due to difficult conditions, including dangerous wild life and frequent monster attacks.

The party encountered a small village called Hyarmyn, inhabited entirely by wood elves. These elves are led by the medicine woman, Garmul, and seem to revere "White Tusk." Further north was a second larger village called Tyormyn. These wood elves were more numerous and sacrificed lives to Black Agatha.

The hags Black Agatha and Rotten Ethel lived with their troll Gumguk in the desecrated temple of Sarenrae to the north, The party retrieved Allistair III's silver shark idol from the ruined temple off the north-west cliff.

**Notable Inhabitants:**

Black Agatha (deceased)

Rotten Ethel (deceased)

Gumguk the Troll (deceased)

Garmul the Medicine Woman

Fayal (deceased)

Brother Emmitt

Penelope Farnsworth (brought on board the Ebon Hawk)
Session 3

**The Bay of Marauders**

In a flash of light the damaged Ebon Hawk and
its crew were teleported across the ocean to the pirate haven the Bay of
Marauders. Overwhelmed by her own spell Lady Yen fell comatose. The crew
settled in the Anchor Hotel as their ship went in for repairs. The party
encountered the Manticore mercenary band who run the island, and Balor enjoyed
flirtations with a blue woman called Petronella, and then indulged himself at
the Sweaty Palm Brothel. The party also met with a mysterious man called the
Keeper in the black market about potions and tonics.  One night Balor had a nightmare about Yorrick asking
him if he craved his power. Later on, their crewmate Drax approached the party
about Captain Patches being an unfit leader, but the party dismissed his
concerns, and instead pursued a contract on a griffon. They tracked the griffon
to a mountaintop a few days away, slew it, and recovered one of its eggs. They
also noted that the griffon made its nest atop a teleportation circle.
Session 36

**Escape From Midhaven (April 1, 2020)**

Ignatius refuses the Keeper’s offer and is left with his
boon unfulfilled. The party agrees they need to get off the island, and Felix
notices that his symbol of Frosk is damaged. The party runs to the wheat fields
near the windmills, and defeats four of Lady Grey’s knights. They make it back
to the woods and devise a plan to recover their ship and escape. Russell and
the other citizens agree to help them, knowing that their own escape is not assured.
The party kills a guard, and captures 3 more for their uniforms and weapons.
Balor uses his breath weapon to freeze the Harbourmaster’s booth, and releases
the Tiny Turtle from impound. Felix has Cuttlescar start a fire in the booth to
defrost the semaphore flags, but they are partially damaged, and the smoke gets
Felix high. Felix channels his god to remove the poison, and though it succeeds,
he realizes that his connection to Frosk has been weakened through his actions.

**Penelope & the Storm Giant (February 8th, 2019)**

The party recovered loot from Black Agatha’s temple,
including coins, rings, and herbs. Tryx grabbed Penelope and yelled at her
about his crest on her luggage. She blasted him with cold magic, and hid in the
corner before Ignatius eventually calmed her down with a tale. Tryx explained
to the party that the intertwined silver rings was his family crest passed down
to him by his father. When his father betrayed their faith and
married another woman, Tryx had left his home in Naldum. Balor explained that
he had seen this same symbol on Remington Farnsworth’s chain.

Altair watched over Penelope while the other party members descended
underwater to the ruined temple. After a wild shape into a shark, a few hours
of searching, and a close encounter with a storm giant, the party recovered
the fourth idol: a silver shark. Before leaving the island, the party asked the
hag’s cauldron to see Antioch/Wilhelm, and were shown Alwyn the firbolg
boarding a small vessel out of New Haven Harbour. When the party asked the
cauldron to show where Balor was from it showed open water. When asked to show
someone else from where Balor was from the cauldron flashed an image of
Petronella. Tryx attempted to use magic to charm Penelope, but she resisted,
and became hostile towards him.

Over the next four days the party made their way back to the
Ebon Hawk. The crew had built defenses on the shore and the repairs had been completed
on the ship. The crew also acquired blue and red uniforms from a wrecked ship. When
the four idols were put together they generated a golden compass needle that
pointed North West. After more than a week without his tonic Ignatius developed
a tremor, and the crew agreed that his best chance for survival was to get to
the Keeper’s shop in the Bay of Marauders, three weeks away.
Drax

Drax is a half-orc from Tyr, and is a crew member of the Ebon Hawk. He is a capable sailor and warrior, and is one of the longest serving crew on the Hawk. He was instrumental in the mutiny against Captain Patches for what he perceived as endangerment of the crew. Drax is married to a Firbolg named Alwyn who lives back on Tyr with their many children; he sends his portion of the crew’s spoils back home via Aarakocra at every port.
Tryx

Tryx is a dwarven druid from Naldum, on the continent Landovia. His family crest is two interlocked silver rings, the symbol of Berronar Truesilver. When his father betrayed their faith and married another woman, Tryx left his home and settled in the grasslands outside of Anchorage. From here Tryx served as an occasional guide and adviser to Jarl Cartier. When the Jarl’s son Balor elected to leave Anchorage, Tryx was tasked with protecting him (unbeknownst to Balor). Following an attack, Tryx has become a crew member of the Ebon Hawk, and become embroiled in a race to recover a jin’s lamp before it falls into the hands of the Dread Pirate Yorrick.

Tryx is a capable shapeshifter; his most common forms include a giant spider and an ape. Upon solving a puzzle about the dwarven
legend of the fjhornir-dwed, Tryx acquired a magic hammer he calls Mjolnir. He has
also begun a friendship with the tabaxi, Ragnar.

Following repeated conflicts with Balor, Tryx forsook his vow to watch over him. Liam, the leader of the Anchorage guard, called this treason and warned Tryx to never return to Anchorage.

After several near fatal encounters Tryx has begun to
question the importance of life and the consequences of death. He has also become increasingly nihilistic. Following a conversation on Boar Island he summoned a bear to maul his crew mate Ignatius.

In Black Agatha's temple Tryx recovered a luggage box bearing his family crest. The box seems to belong to Penelope Farnsworth. Upon reaching New Haven Harbour Tryx learned that Remington Farnsworth is his half-brother, and that they have another brother named Rurik.

Session 15

**Questioning Wilhelm (November 2nd, 2018)**

Following the defeat of the Blood Cult, the PCs returned
above ground to find the Bjornstahd surrounded by dozens of Odin’s guards. Natasha confirmed that Baro Grey was the one who kidnapped her, which
Altair admitted to suspecting, and the blood-soaked party was allowed to leave.
Tryx rejoined the party in Thor, and they reunited Natasha with her mother
Millicent. Following the emotional reunion, the party observed the guards
surrounding Baro Grey’s office, and overheard that she was no longer there. The
party met with Investigator Bram, who Balor accused of involvement with the
cult. Together, they questioned head-guard Danmark about Baro Grey’s whereabouts, only to find that her ship had already left the island. This led Bram
and the party to question the Bjornstahd’s shopkeeper in custody. Under
duress he confessed that he tipped off the “Captain” who in turn warned Baro
Grey—neither Grey nor the Captain were apprehended.

The next morning, the 3 remaining Baros of the Nordic Cross
gifted the party with rewards, including the Sword of Tyr, for their service during
their time on the islands. The cleric-turned-barber, Smithers, was unable to
heal Balor, but recommended that the party try the Clerics of Sarenrae in New Haven Harbour. The Ebon Hawk departed after taking on Ragnar, Beyla, Gabbo, and
Gobbo as crew; but not Drax’s daughter Kiera. Brock was also left in Thor. Alwyn
provided the party with a collection of potions, and Ignatius smuggled young
Ignatius aboard despite protestations from the crew.

During the day the PCs used various means to question
Wilhelm; however, he remained catatonic. Tryx declared his
intention to kill Wilhelm, and Altair vowed to deliver him alive to the Black Breach in order to collect the bounty. During the night
Ignatius and Balor confronted Altair during his watch, but before things could escalate Avery called the PCs to examine a teleportation circle scrawled on the
deck in charcoal. After a ship-wide search young Ignatius is missing.
The Cerulean Dominion Wiki

## Welcome to the The Cerulean Dominion Wiki

   **The Djinn (June 5, 2020)**

The party solved the puzzles in each of the four towers,
which opened a portal to Allistair the Third’s Vault. Inside the Vault, amid
the piles of riches, the crew finally acquired the Djinn’s lamp! Mr. Burroughs
wished for “Absolution for the Black Marauder”, Lady Yen wished for “True Resurrection
for the merfolk, Amelia”, and Balor wished for “[His] loved ones to be restored
to a living state.” As a result of the third wish, Altair was brought back to
life (as was Balor’s family), and Ignatius was cured of his tonic dependence. The
party gathered their riches, and went their separate ways via a teleportation
circle. Tryx travelled to Naldum to eventually rebuild the city; Balor and
Altair travelled back to Anchorage to be reunited with the Cartiers, and to
open a moustache shop, respectively; and Ignatius travelled to New Haven Harbour
to find that the wish had not healed Ainlsey. Ignatius would eventually return
to his tonic and seek out the Keeper to make another deal, though he never
learned that Ainsley’s soul was contained in his wand, Lorelei.

In an epilogue, Mr. Burroughs was revealed to be the Black Marauder.

Session 33

**Tabaxi and Windmills (January 17, 2020)**

The citizens of Anchorage gather for the funeral of Jarl Balor
Cartier II. His body is placed on a floating pyre and set ablaze. The next
morning Balor, Ignatius, Altair, and Wilhelm board the Tiny Turtle and set sail
towards Midhaven to rendezvous with Ragnar. Midway through the 5 week trip the
ship is confronted by pirates. Captain Bellamy of the Pirate’s Pirate requests
gold in exchange for passage, but the party feigns that they are sick with
plague so the pirates don’t board their ship. The party pays the pirates and
continue unmolested.

When the party arrives in Midhaven the entire island is
under naval blockade against pirate attacks. The party docks, and their ship is
immediately impounded. They head to the Orlais Café and Altair notices that
everyone is youthful and good-looking. When the party attempts to enter a
poorer neighborhood, Rosetown, they are stopped by an armed unit that requests
their weapons, under the orders of Lady Grey. Rosetown is on lockdown because
the poor people have been causing trouble.  The party declines to give up their weapons, though
Ignatius returns Lorelei to Wilhelm. Altair hears an unusual birdcall that they
follow into the woods to find Ragnar and another massive tabaxi, Felix.

Ragnar and Felix explain that the wealthy elite have taken
over the entire island and have rounded up the poor people into camps in
Rosetown. Every few days caravans take people from the camps to the windmills
and then to Grey Manor. Ragnar hopes to interrupt this chain, but fears they
are badly outnumbered.  That night the party
lures a guard into the woods and aggressively interrogate him. He reveals that nobles
are gathering at Grey Manor for an event the following evening, and that a large
number of prisoners will be transferred from Rosetown to the windmills during
the day. He also confirms that Ragnar’s sister Aryll is in the camps. Ignatius
doesn’t want Ragnar to kill the guard, so he persuades Wilhelm to alter his
memory and sets him free.

Later that night the party sneaks towards the four large
windmills to investigate. They spring an ambush and manage to kill all of the
guards, but not before one screams for help. The ground is stained with blood,
and the party tries to hide the bodies in one of the windmills. Inside the
windmill, chained citizens are being forced to grind up bodies to extract their
blood.
Wilhelm

Wilhelm is a mage who is wanted by authorities in Anchorage for poisoning citizens, including the flower girl Ainsley, for selling fake cure-alls, and in connection to several deaths. He is also connected to the wrongful imprisonment of Jameson in Kasha's Wake. He was being pursued by the bounty hunter Altair, and his bounty was 3000 GP.

Under the name Antioch, Wilhelm mentored Ignatius and involved him in his potions schemes. Ignatius believes that Antioch is his creator.

Wilhelm was recently captured by the crew of the Ebon Hawk in Loki while selling potions under the name, Aldous. He has been working with a young half-elf also called Ignatius.

Wilhelm was catatonic and unresponsive to questioning aboard the Ebon Hawk. He remained under guard by Altair until he was delivered to the Black Breach. He is currently secured there until he will be transferred to Anchorage for judgement by the local governing body.
Session 38

## The Sunken Temple

### Air date

May 1, 2020

**The Sunken Temple (May 1, 2020)**

The party sails the Caspian to Scuttle Atoll in search of an
Enimat flower. Ignatius is running low on his tonic and the flower is the key
ingredient. During the first night of travel the Troll-Kin ring transforms
Felix into a troll. Distraught at this change and a perceived lack of support
from the party and his deity, Felix attempts to drown himself; however, Ragnar
fishes him out of the sea. Felix remains catatonic for much of the remaining
trip, even after Ignatius removes the curse and Felix transforms back into a
tabaxi.

The party returns to Scuttle Atoll to find most of the
island has sunk beneath the water. Diving below the surface they find the
temple entrance and re-navigate the traps they faced in Session Two. Along the
way they defeat a pack of sahuagin who have occupied the underwater portions of
the temple. Ignatius is able to recover 3 Enimat flowers, and the party sets
sail for the Nordic Cross.

The crew arrives in Thor in the late Fall, 9 weeks after
departing Midhaven. Ragnar quickly departs with Felix, Aryll, and Avery in
hopes of gathering the New Haven Navy to retake Midhaven. The party pays Alwyn
200 gp to make 20 vials of tonic and to transplant the remaining Enimat flower
into a pot. A few days later the Ebon Hawk arrives in Thor complete with new
crew members: Reto, the otterfolk, Sarchuck, the half-orc quartermaster, and
Gabbo and Gobbo who have turned into hobgoblins. Lady Yen and Ignatius head
towards the Bjornstahd perfumery, but once he reads the rest of Wilhelm’s
translated journal Ignatius runs back to the party.
The Golden Galleon

The Golden Galleon is a massive pirate ship with gold adornments and two masts. It has mortars for long range combat. It is captained by the Dread Pirate Yorrick. Its crew are the primary antagonists to the Ebon Hawk.

## The Ebon Hawk

### Air date

October 2017

**The Ebon Hawk (October 2017)**

In the port city Anchorage, the jarl’s son
Balor Cartier III boarded the Drunken Minnow ship in search of information
about his dragonborn heritage. He was accompanied by his guide, the enigmatic
bard Ignatius who was looking to leave town; the jarl’s sometimes-advisor Tryx
the druid; and the ranger Altair who was tracking a lead on a bounty. Midway
through their journey the Drunken Minnow was attacked by the pirate ship the
Ebon Hawk, and the travellers were absorbed into its crew. The Ebon Hawk was on
a mission for a legendary pirate, the Black Marauder, and headed to a tiny
island called Scuttle Atoll. A storm began to develop as a second ship arrived
and attacked. The new crew were sent ashore into a temple to recover an
mysterious idol.
Lady Yen

Lady Yen is a powerful sorceress that resides on the Ebon Hawk. She always dresses regally in red, and serves as an advisor to the captain. Her research has allowed the Ebon Hawk to navigate the star charts to locate the idols that will lead to the jin’s lamp. She has shown an affinity for teleportation and fire-based magic. Her power was shown to have limitations though, when she teleported the entire ship and its crew across the Cerulean Dominion which left her comatose for nearly a week. Lady Yen has recently been seen interacting with an elven woman who vanishes whenever the crew approaches.

As the ship neared Boar Island, Lady Yen confided in Ignatius that she keeps a woman named Amelia frozen in ice in her room, and intends to save her with the jin's wish.
Thor

Thor is one of four islands in the Nordic Cross archipelago. When the Ebon Hawk arrives there for the first time Thor is experiencing the harsh rains of Spring, and the sky is nearly always grey.

The primary industry of Thor is fishing. Places of note include the Valkyrie Pub and the Docks.

Two years ago Dorian killed Balor's brother, Lysander, during a battle.

Most recently, Dorian has led a mercenary force to assume control of Anchorage's castle.
Session 11

**The Nordic Cross**

The Ebon Hawk arrived at the Nordic Cross,
and the crew disembarked for shore leave. Altair had learned from the Lancers
that the real Wilhelm might be on one of the islands, so he restarted his
investigation. This led to information about missing people, and possible
murders. Making their way to the second island, the party encountered their
former captain, Cork, who led them to a small cottage in the snow. Here, Balor met
his son, Frosk.
Mr. Burroughs

Samuel Burroughs is a gnomish pirate, and the first mate of the Ebon Hawk. He is typically found with a clipboard, and managing the crew and resources of the ship; however, he has shown himself to be capable in a fight with his trusty dagger. Together with Lady Yen he works to plot the Ebon Hawk’s course to the location of the idols.
Session 37

**Blockade Runners (April 17, 2020)**

Ignatius questions the Harbour Master and learns how to use
the semaphore flags to call for a shift change. Felix intimidates the guard
Harold to assist them, and he signals to the blockade. When the rowboat from
the blockade arrives Ignatius convinces the guards that Lady Grey needs their
assistance and they run off to Rosetown. The crew takes the rowboat and heads towards
a blockade ship, with Ragnar hiding on the floor and Balor hiding in the water.
Cuttlescar stays back with Russell and the rescued Midhavians, planning to sail
out once the party captures one of the ships. The captain of the Wyrm, is suspicious
of Aryll and Avery’s presence on board, and signals to the other ships in the
blockade. Avery dimension doors Balor on board and combat ensues. The rest of
the crew joins in the attack, and arrows and mortars begin raining down. The
crew tries to escape on the Wyrm but it is sunk by mortar strikes, and they
must jump to the neighboring Caspian. Ragnar falls in the water, but is rescued
in a combined effort by Avery, Aryll, Altari, and Ignatius. Taking nearly
everything they have, the crew is able to immobilize the final attacking ship,
and they escape Midhaven on the badly damaged Caspian.
Petronella

Petronella is a blue tiefling, and a pirate of great repute. She took command of the Ebon Hawk following the mutiny against Captain Patches. Petronella brags that she is the best boxer in all of the Cerulean Dominion and will eagerly prove it against anyone who doubts her. She seeks to capture the idols in order to prove herself to the Black Marauder, and to exact revenge on Yorrick for sinking her old ship, the Ruby.

Petronella was badly burned during combat with the minotaur Grim, whom she subsequently beat to death in an attempt to free slaves from the ship, The Jasmine.

During a conversation with Balor she revealed that she is from an island called Dovastahd.
Session 19

**Black Agatha (January 11th, 2019)**

During their night in the meadow each member of the party
experienced a vivid nightmare, and awoke disturbed by their respective dreams.
Tryx noticed that the purple flower had released spores into the meadow. Ignatius
cut a petal from the flower and experienced a psychic attack in response.

Tryx made a tea from Zingle root to dull his senses. Later in
the day the party came upon a northern village of wood elves who had captured
Brother Emmitt from the Bay of Marauders. The party avoided the village and
continued north, before eventually coming upon one of the village's hunting parties.
The PCs captured a wood elf called Fayal, and questioned him
about the idol’s location. They also learned that the northern elves sacrifice their
people to Black Agatha in exchange for the food and strength to survive on the
island.

While the party rested for the evening, Ignatius and Tryx
had a heated conversation. Tryx summoned a bear that mauled Ignatius, and Ignatius
had to be revived by Altair. During the final watch of the night Ignatius took
the map and headed to Black Agatha alone.

Outside a desecrated temple to Sarenrae,  Ignatius confronted an old woman at a cauldron
who said she had been watching his progress in her brew. Ignatius told her
stories of his travels before eventually being subdued by her frightful true
form. When the rest of the party arrived, they disposed of Fayal, and defeated the
old woman, Rotten Ethel. When Black Agatha revealed herself, she proposed releasing
Farnsworth’s granddaughter and letting the party search for the idol if they
left the island; however, Ignatius countered that she would free the elves as
well. Black Agatha refused, and the party eventually defeated her and the
troll Gumguk.

The party freed the unintelligible Penelope Farnsworth and found
a luggage box with an emblem of two linked silver rings. Tryx recognized this
as his family crest, the symbol of Berronar Truesilver; meanwhile, Balor
recognized it as the crest of Remington Farnsworth from New Haven Harbour. The
party replaced the damaged boar statue, which pointed to the next idol off a cliff and into the ocean. The
party also examined the hags’ cauldron and realized it can be used to locate
people and objects.
Evelyn Rios

Evelyn Rios is the United Nations Supervisor of the Global Defense Initiative. Before being appointed to her current position, Rios was the U.N. Economic and Social Council President and served as a member of the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO).

Evelyn's brother, Commander Arthur Rios, was a GDI mechanized infantry officer that was killed in action by terrorist forces in 2012.
The Keeper

The Keeper is a mysterious man who works in an alchemist shop with a red door in the Bay of Marauders. He is tall and thin with slick black hair and black eyes; and he speaks in a strange hissing voice. Little is known about the Keeper beyond his dark dealings with magic and strange trades (including Balor's blood and Ignatius's hand); and his apparent ability to relocate his shop across great distances. He has shown an ability to produce the tonic that Ignatius drinks to survive.
International Statute of Secrecy

The **International Statute of Secrecy** is a set of laws in Earth's magical community originally signed in 1689, then officially enacted in 1692. The laws were laid down by the International Shadow Confederation to safeguard the magical community from the rest of humanity and hide its presence from the world at large.

## History

By the seventeenth century, the persecution of Shadowkind was at its worst. Inquisitions and "witch-hunts" were becoming almost commonplace, and many species of Shadowkind were nearing extinction. In Great Britain, the newly-created Ministry of Magic lobbied to gain official recognition and protection from the British Monarch (jointly William III and Mary II at the time), but the attempt met with failure, leading Shadowkind to move toward secrecy of their own accord.

### Enactment

After a series of heated discussions on the topic by the International Shadow Confederation, the Statute of Secrecy was signed in late 1689, but would not be officially established until three years later in 1692.

Many of the oldest families of Shadowkind, most notably the Malfoys, were fervently opposed to the Statute. However, when the Statute was passed, the Malfoy family abruptly shifted positions, becoming one of the most vocal supporters of the law.

The passing of the Statute of Secrecy further alienated Shadowkind from the rest of the world's population, and Shadow-only communities began to spring up across the world, often confined to a particular area of an otherwise mundane city. These "Shadow villages" were among the few places where Shadowkind could openly practice magic without violating the Statute.

## Contents

The International Statute of Secrecy states that each individual country with a Shadow community must have a governing body for that community. This governing body - such as the British Ministry of Magic - is held responsible for the control of magical creatures, preventing or obfuscating public displays of magic, and ensuring that the Shadow community continues without risk of discovery.
Anchorage

Anchorage is a port town in Landovia. It is governed by Jarl Balor Cartier II, and protected by the Cartier Lancers.

Session 16

**The Black Breach & the Battle on the Jasmine (November 16, 2018)**

The PCs searched the Ebon Hawk for young Ignatius to no avail. Lady Yen confirmed that the teleportation circle on the deck was a one-way teleporter off the ship, and could not be used to return. Captain O’Malley was satisfied with this information and continued the ship’s course to the Black Breach. The PCs threw a party to lift the crew’s spirits; there was socializing, arm wrestling, gambling, and 3/4ths of the rum keg was consumed. The party learned the history of the Black Breach prison, met a tattooed prisoner, gave Wilhelm into custody, and collected his bounty. However, Altair and Ignatius maintained that the catatonic man they delivered was not the real Wilhelm, and that he must’ve escaped. Altair split his portion of the bounty with the party, and indicated that he would begin to track young Ignatius.

Tryx dispelled Wilhelm’s spell book, and Lady Yen began the lengthy process of translating it. It revealed journal entries written by Wilhelm which confirmed that he used magic to create Ignatius. It also contained diagrams of the Enimat flower, and a ritual involving a diamond that might restore Balor’s faculties.

The Ebon Hawk encountered a merchant ship called The Jasmine, and engaged in trade with its charismatic captain, LeCroix. A battle ensured when it was revealed that The Jasmine had slaves on board. Petronella was badly burned as she beat the minotaur, Grim, to death; however, Ignatius implored her to spare LeCroix. The Jasmine was left badly damaged, the slaves Nim, Noble, and Lily, were brought aboard the Ebon Hawk, as was a box of the narcotic Black Sand, and an ornate cannon called the Persuasion.

That night the crew gathered to perform the ritual in Wilhelm’s spell book. Lady Yen used the diamond component from the cannon, and Balor’s intelligence was restored! The Ebon Hawk is two weeks from Boar Island— the location of the final idol. Meanwhile, Ignatius’s tonic stock is dangerously low.
Altair

Altair is a human ranger from Midhaven. He earns his living as a bounty hunter, and left Anchorage on the Drunken Minnow in pursuit of the mage Wilhelm.  Following an attack, Altair has become a crew member of the Ebon Hawk, and become embroiled in a race to recover a jin’s lamp before it falls into the hands of the Dread Pirate Yorrick. He primarily wields dual short swords, including the Sword of Tyr, and has proved to also be proficient with a bow and arrow.

Altair’s past and motivations for leaving Midhaven are largely unknown. Following the party's fight with a cult in the Nordic Cross, Altair indicated he had encountered them before. He also indicated suspicion towards Baro Grey, who later absconded.

Months after following a false lead to Kasha’s Wake, Altair finally captured Wilhelm, on Loki. However, after extensive questioning on the Ebon Hawk, Altair grew skeptical that the man he captured was truly Wilhelm. Nevertheless, he turned in his bounty at the Black Breach, and elected to divide his share between the PCs. Altair has decided to track down young Ignatius for answers.

Session 28

**A Party Divided (November 1, 2019)**

Ignatius tells Antioch that if he truly seeks redemption
then he can help them complete their mission and leave his Jameson persona
behind. Afterwards he will be free to return to Cindy if he chooses to, but as
a new person who can earn her love rather than stay with her through deceit.
Jameson agrees, and tells Cindy that the new jarl is sending him away on a mission
and he does not know when he will return.

The party discusses their next move, and decides that
Antioch’s unfinished teleportation circle is too risky to try. Balor tells the
party that he must remain in Anchorage to govern his people. Ignatius, Altair,
and Antioch prepare to depart by ship to Midhaven. Tryx and Rurik prepare to journey
on land to Naldum. Both groups agree to rendezvous at the Bay of Marauders once
their missions are complete, in hopes of rejoining the Ebon Hawk.
Chapter 2

**Chapter 2: The Anchorage Lancers (May 10, 2019)**

The Anchorage Lancers Archie, Bruenard, and Redd, recover in
the Crass Sailor pub following their loss to Balor and his companions in the
streets of New Haven Harbour. Liam, the leader of the Lancers, instructs his
unit that they will be returning to Anchorage in the morning, unsuccessful in
their mission to bring Balor home. In the middle of the night the Lancers are
awakened by the city bells alerting citizens to an attack. The Lancers make
their way to the Hall of Justice and learn from Admiral Hamilton and Captain O’Day
that a single ship is mortar-striking the city and that ground units have
landed on the docks. Liam heads to Captain Pruitt’s home where Balor is reported
to be staying, while the rest of the Lancers deploy to the docks to help the
citizens.

The Lancers rescue the couple Cindy and Jameson from undead
attackers, and send them to safety in the Hall of Justice. They go deeper into
the city and defeat an undead ogre, Dudley, who is attacking a group of
clerics. As citizens flee and mortar strikes continue to burn the city, the Lancers
hide from a giant acid-spewing wolf before encountering the wounded Captain O’Day.
Together with O’Day, they fend off a griffon attack, but witness Admiral
Hamilton perish in a mortar strike. The party recovers at the Hall of Justice,
but soon realizes Liam is alone in the city with the wolf. Together with some
of the Harbour Lawmen the party engage the wolf, but Liam and the Lawmen are
killed. Redd manages to mount the wolf and they steer it towards the docks
where one of the city’s warships fire on it. Bruenard jumps into the water, but
is hit by a final blast from the wolf before the warship kills it. Bruenard drowns
before Redd can find his body, and the pair is fished out by the human Captain
Horace. The New Haven Harbour navy is able to force the attacking ship to
retreat. When Redd searches the dock the wolf’s body is gone.
