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.
