DonnalKellar calls me into his office. He needs us to escort a VIP to a town just to the South. We took him south, and on our way back (about 1 hour outside Lankhmar), we stop at TheWayfare.

A strange melancholy comes over us.

Suddenly two men burst in, carrying a third, wounded man. They call the innkeep (Fozzy) to help. I tell LuciusGhee and ShoshaTheDancer to see what happened. I go look outside. LuciusGhee puts some swamp magic on it.

Outside I can see that it is raining a bit, with a heavier storm coming in. I come back.

We all notice that the wound is very jagged, and he has something in his hand. LuciusGhee tries a little healing (but has little effect as he bleeds profusely). The thing in his hand appears to be golden. One of the companions grabs the hand and puts it to his chest. LuciusGhee nicks an artery and blood spurts everywhere as the patient fails to survive.

ShoshaTheDancer asks them what happened. The woman just says she needs a drink.

We invite the survivors over to our table.

Me (Lisa) and Punt here were out by the rocks. We heard thunder like a storm, but there was no storm there. We looked around and found a wrecked sloop. There were some survivors. Don't know why they weren't going to the docks. Maybe they were pirates.

Glib went over to help one in the surf and then a shark bit him! They dragged him up to Fozzy's place.

ShoshaTheDancer asks about the gold object in Glib's hand. Asks if it was from the wreck (and they agree).

They want us to go with them. I agree (maybe there is something going on the Thieves' Guild should know about.

The wreck is 30 yards off shore. They are surrounded by sharks, and the ship is looking to break up soon.

I ask ShoshaTheDancer if she can drive away the sharks with her tricks. No, but may be able to protect us.

ShoshaTheDancer does a dance then throws a glowing skull into the water, killing one of the sharks. The people on the wreck cheer.

I ask ShoshaTheDancer to cover us from the shore, and LuciusGhee and I get in the boat with Lisa. She kills a couple while we get the boat ready.

We head out to the wreck. A shark approaches LuciusGhee's side. He stabs it. We get to the ship and I pick the 3 richest (charge 10 rilks a head). We get 26 gold rilks, a gold ring, and a silver necklace (collateral). On the way back, ShoshaTheDancer stuns one.

We go on second trip. I pick three at random.

We go on a third trip. I try to stab the shark (bounces off). ShoshaTheDancer summons another skull, but it fizzles out in her hand, and she slumps a little. The shark hits the boat, rocking it. We grab three more (2 left on wreck, may not make it). The wreak breaks up.

We head back out for the 4th time to grab the last 2 (now in the drink) 2 sharks attack as we go out. I kill one, and LuciusGhee kills the other. We grab the last 2 and head back. Another shark attacks. I bop it's nose and it rams the boat. One of the survivors falls overboard and is immediately pulled under by the sharks. We make it to shore.
