[QUOTE="Maliki, post: 2508146, member: 19073"] Seawall II Lighthouse When I returned to the Last Mug to rejoin my comrades, I found that they had taken another dwarf into our group, stout looking fellow with a huge axe named Rathgar Hellbringer. So together with our new ally we headed off to see the mayor of Seawall. Explaining that we had traveled great distances to solve the towns problems, his guards quickly summoned his honor. He introduced himself(I forget his name), and said that he would pay us each 50 gold(exactly what I spent the night before), and any treasure that we found. he then arranged our transport to the lighthouse(where we suspected the problem was). After stopping for the night in a small cove, we arrived the next day at the lighthouse. We had to take a rowboat to the small island where the lighthouse sat reefs encircled the island, all the way to the shore. We noticed a wooden tower with a platform on the top built on the shoreline(later we would figure out its meaning) The lighthouse had completly looted. On various floors we found an adult woman and two children, all had been slashed to death, probably well over a month ago.(At this point I vowed that somebody would die, painfully. Killing a foe in battle is one thing, in fact I find it fun, but the killing of a defenseless child is another matter). On the top floor we found the mirrors used to reflect the light had all been smashed. From the top of the lighthouse we could see 2 small boats pulled up on the shore, near the wooden tower, so after we burried the bodies, Grim said a few words and we headed towards shore. The tower had a large platform on top and a winch and pully system to haul stuff to the top. It looks like a fire had been built on the towers top. We figured that with the real lighthouse out of commision , someone had built this tower with a fire on top to lure ships onto the reefs. When we returned to the ground two figures darted into the forest. Ramas used magic to put one to sleep, the other escaped. Binding then searching the man we found he had a very fine cutlass and a well crafted crossbow. I punched him in the face(to wake him up), but before we could ask any questions a group of 9 indivuduals showed up. led by a woman and a dwarf. They all were rough looking, and carried cutlass's and crossbows like thier friend. They gave us one chane to surrender, I stuck my dagger through the throat of our captive. Then that damn woman waved her arms around and said some things and I went to sleep. When I woke the woman was down, Hacksaw was in the middle of the thier group, crossbow bolts were everywhere, even in some of my allies, Cardel was firing away with his bow, Grim was moving into battle, and both Ramas and Rathgar were sleeping. I scooped up the halfling, tossed him on the dwarf, and charged into battle. Rathgar joined me, the halfling worked some magic and down went the thier dwarf and three others. Hacksaw took a couple hard hits and went down, Grim rushed to his aid, and Cardel kept plucking away with his bow. Soon all but the sleeping pirates were dead or dying. Grim had healed Hacksaw. I talked to the prisoners while the others investigated thier nearby camp. They almost bragged about killing the family in the lighthouse, and it was all I could do to keep from killing every last one of them. They admitted to using the fake lighthouse to lure ships onto the reef, then they would go out in the rowboats, kill any survivors and collect the booty. The rest of the group was ambushed by 4 more pirates but my boys easily prevailed, adding 4 more to the list of dead pirates. The camp contained lots of bulk trade goods, that we will have to come back for later. We took the dwarf and three others back to Seawall.(Somehow on the way back to Seawall they suffered a severe beating, but I don't know anything about that.) The mayor says they will hang in the morning, we plan to have a front row seat. We collected our 50 gold reward, but havn't decided what to do about the goods back at the pirate camp. [/QUOTE]
