Sailing from disaster...

[DMEntropy]

After facing a murderous welcome party on the beach and exploring the jungle and village of the island a bit the PC's are attacked by an organized group of armed skeletons and two spell casters. A bitter fight ensues in which only Ezieer is left standing. Eisinrhyr even had to take up arms against the skeletons at the end in a desparate action to save his life.

Ezieer was successful in reviving some of his companions and stablizing the others. One of the enemy spell casters was also found to remain alive after the fight, but unconcious. All of the wounded were loaded onto the boat as well as the body of the killed spell caster. Ezieer then set course to rendezvous with the Avonia and regroup. The dead spell caster was sent to the bottom once they reached deep waters.

Several important questions now need answers: Who are these people on the island? What was that giant lizard-like creature that attacked on the beach when the boat landed? Who were these spell casters and why did they take such aggressive action?

(( You can all pick it up from here. Everyone regains conciousness back on the boat. I have sent an email detailing all the items found as well as your XP gained. ))

EDIT
(( I left coins found off the treasure email: 58gp 35sp of mixed origins. ))

 

[Ezieer]

Ezieer mans the tiller and the line that adjusts the jib sail... working to sail back torward the Avonia.

"Hey welcome to the world of the living" is his reply to those that away.. however weakly.

"Don't worry about a thing... the wind is easy, the waves are light and the moon's shining will last a long time."

 

[Aguirre]

Eisinrhyr groans, and cracks one eye open. "Ugh..."

"What happened?"

 

[Ezieer]

"You ran into a bit of trouble... nice work in distracting that last skeleton by the way... it gave me enough time to save Theodus. I'm sure he will thank you himself once he comes too."

(Ezieer seems to be saying this without derision)

 

[RJKrik]

Azeem Razuddi

Azeem regains consciousness much to rapidly for his own good. He groans as he is rocked awake by the gentle swaying of the boat.

"Ugh, you know I sometimes wonder if this whole "adventuring" thing is worth it. I end up flat on my back much to often sometimes. Oh, we're on the boat... hmm headed back to the Avonia then?" He glances around the boat, finding the unconscious, but restrained, spell caster.

"Brought a friend along eh Ezieer? I do hope he is cooperative, I so hate it when they don't talk." He puts his head back down. "Ohh, my head. Bloody skeletons knocked me around good. I think I'm going to just take a bit of a nap, wake me if, you know we're attacked by a hydra or something."

He puts his head back staring off at the night sky.

 

[morcano]

Morcano only quickly looks at the members of the group as the regain conciousness one by one. His attention is focused on the unconcious spellcaster. He stays on guard and watches for any signs of the captive awakening ready to knock him senseless if he even tries to move.

 

[Ezieer]

"Sure Azeem... I'll be sure to let you know if a hungry hydra comes swimming along. I mean... it needs to eat right?"

 

[Ezieer]

In between sailing the ship and talking about his prowess in the fight... Ezieer brings up an important topic.

"I'll tell you what we need besides more potions... we need one-o deose magic stick things wizards have... magic to heal us and all... well you all" he smirks at the end of the statement.

 

[DMEntropy]

Ezieer's piloting of the boat is done well and the Avonia is spotted after a long night at sea. As you approach the ship your sail is spotted and activity can be seen on the deck. Sailors are at the rail the boat is brought up alongside the Avonia. You notice several of the men gathering up long shiny objects that clatter when bundled together and head below.

The crew assists you all back onto the ship and offer you some grog to drink. Word is sent to the captain and Alistra as well. The men on deck raise their eyebrows at your new captive.

"Well, wha' d'we 'ave 'ere good sirs?" the watch leader asks.

 

[RJKrik]

Azeem Razuddi

Azeem takes a drink of the grog, happy for anything that even mildly numbs the throbbing in his head. "That my man, is a spellcaster of somekind. One who battled us when we were on the island. I'm sure Lady Karnom will want to hear what he has to say about why he and his fellows are on that island."
