[QUOTE="Carlo-One, post: 7851892, member: 7015827"] As the group talked about the encounter with Gonzo and speculated on many things related to dragons, the weather cleared and the ship no longer rolled to the sound of thunder. Captain Kelteel came down and let them know that the ship would be in port within the hour. This was welcome news for the adventurers, who took advantage of the calmer seas to rest. The captain awakened them once the ship was a few minutes outside of Westgate, inviting everyone on deck. One of the sailors pointed out the Westlight, as the glowing harbor tower was now in view. After pausing for a short while to let some larger merchantmen clear the port entrance, the captain ordered the "Mermaid's Lance" toward harbor. At the Urdo docks, a cleric of Gond was waiting for the group, along with additional Urdo guards, in order to "truth-tell" them. All successfully passed the question, which addressed whether they had not previously declared anything they were carrying to Captian Kelteel, and exited the dock area onto the cobblestone streets of the Market. Velduin, who was invited to join the others at the Gatereach, departed to make his report to the Naturalists Guild. Rahnee then declared she had some family business to attend to and strode off, leaving the others to make their report at the Mercenaries Guild. After being escorted upstairs to Varen Malavhan's office, Aerikoth took the lead in describing their exploration of the island. Aerikoth described the signs of previous habitation, including the shipwreck and the well, and the bones of a large creature in the center of the isle. Aerikoth commented that the island had appeared suitable for use by House Urdo, until their ship was attacked by a red dragon on the return voyage; apparently the dragon used the island's area as a hunting ground.
