## Chapters

### One

* The crew make it to the island, which it turns out is named the Eye of Apina. Lonnie escorts them to Agathe’s manor. The crew notices something is off. The smiles of the townsfolk are just a bit too wide. The flowers too shiny. Why was Agathe’s home surrounded by such a large gate? And- what was that dark shadow in the corner of your eye?..It was probably nothing.
* The crew finally meets Agathe who as it turns out, is a stupid self obsorbed monkey. They live in a incredibly beautiful home that showcases the mixing of plantlife and architecture, as half the home is filled with large, tropical plants. Agathe is extremely friendly and welcoming. They encourage the crew to stay in their guest home and the crew wearily accepts. Agathe bids them farewell and the crew are free to explore Apina.

* They meet Pollux who is the leader of the Red Doves. They explain that Agathe is a really cruel leader and they want to ask them if they can resign.

### Three

* The crew are invited by Caiya to the Golden Fang’s hideout. Here, they seemed very ecstatic for the crew’s attendance. Not used to this kind of interaction with an ally, the crew notices that the Golden Fangs themselves are dressed in some formal attire. Almost too formal. Caiya, whom is perched atop a wooden crate, tells the crew that they have news that needs to be addressed.
* The crew, confused but intrigued decides to listen to what Caiya has to say. They exclaim that there is a new mission to be put upon. As they opened up the crate, out came numerous elegant pieces of clothing. Dresses, suits, cloaks, you name it. How did they get these? Nobody but Caiya knew.
* After the crew got dressed, Caiya explained the mission. Which was, to put it simply a masquerade ball. The crew’s ultimate mission was to blend in and remember the dance moves. During the whole course of the dance, Caiya planned on poisoning Caiya while the crew kept them occupied.
* As Siravi the large group of masked group into the castle, she felt unnerved around her instincts. The doors leading into the ballroom opened up with suspicion, a large dark room with one illuminated passageway. The group was greeted by a large Monkey butler at the passageway. In a flash, the room was beautifully illuminated. Once they were all in, Caiya reminded them that they all had to blend in once more.
* Throughout the night as the crew danced with one another, Agathe decides to interrupt the ball with a toast. Caiya realized that this was their chance. Their opportunity. Only a few feet from the throne, Caiya stood as Agathe made their speech. As their speech went on, Agathe caught onto what the crew was trying to do. In a flash, guards from all around the ballroom encircled the crew, silently snatching few members to take to captivity.
* The crew, in depressed shambles after their loved ones were taken away, were forced out of the manor. They went back to the Golden Fang’s hideout as their emotions took time to process. Angered and saddened, the crew decided to wait and think of a plan to release their captured crewmates.
