**Where did you go?**
We departed from Dawnport towards the sea, following the lyrics of Augurs the Bard. The adventure used hexes for movement, and we moved 5 hexes west, 2 hexes north, and 12 hexes south.
**Who did you meet?**
Storyteller, Augrus the Bard, Unnamed Fisherman
**What actually happened?**
The whole party gathered around a table at the tavern, talking among ourselves while listening to the bard’s song. Then, seemingly out of nowhere, a masked stranger appeared and took a particular interest in the story behind the song- especially the tale of the Lost Legacy.
He proposed a deal: we would share whatever we discovered during our exploration at sea. We were skeptical at first, but accepting the arrangement didn’t seem to cost us anything, so we decided to go along with it.
We headed toward the harbor in search of a boat capable of taking us across the high seas. Harbormaster Edric and the Adventurer’s Guild came to mind, but before approaching either of them, we noticed a group of fishermen unloading their catch for the day.
The party came up with a plan to deceive them, using Aiden’s plushable face as our main bargaining chip. We made up a story about his missing father, and the fishermen agreed to let us use their ship for 20 gp per day. Beatrix then intimidated their captain into giving us a discount and coming along as our acting captain. In the end, all we needed to provide upfront was a 30 gp deposit, which Arianna paid.
We spent two days at sea, following the route marked across the hexes. Along the way, we endured several rainstorms, and the ship struck a stone reef once. Despite that, we eventually reached the island.
Soon after our arrival, we discovered that a group of fish-people had followed us. They claimed the island was pure and that, by setting foot upon it, we had desecrated the land. Beatrix was the only one capable of speaking with them due to handshaking with one of the fishpeople and attempted to resolve the situation diplomatically. Unfortunately, the fish-people were quick to attack, revealing that they wanted the treasure for themselves.
The fight ended without any casualties among the party. The fish-people weren’t as fortunate.
We entered the cave and discovered the following:
Found: Captain's Robe, Pirate's Hat, Rusted Binocular, Broken Compass, Scribbled map, Captain's Journal
Captain's Initial found: A.V (Aldrin Voss) by Aiden
Captain's Journal
Day 54
The sea has become our prison. We found shelter within a forgotten cove after the storm tore our ship apart. The crew has spent days repairing what little remains, but every tide seems determined to keep us here. Strange creatures watch us from the water. Men... yet not men. Scales instead of skin. They strike only when darkness falls, dragging away any fool who wanders too close to the shore. We drove them back, but each battle costs us more than the last. The crew grows restless. Some believe the treasure is cursed. Others speak of turning back. They're wrong. We've come too far to abandon this voyage now. Yet every map we've drawn ends in failure. Every course leads us back to the same dead water. ...There has to be something we're missing.
Day 57
I finally understand. The charts were never meant to stand alone. They are fragments... scattered by design. Any fool who finds only one will chase ghosts across the sea until the ocean claims them. If fate has placed these pages in your hands, then know this:
Do not search for my treasure.
Search for
my legacy.
When the three become one...
The sea will reveal the path.
The compass knows. It always has. We leave at first light. May the sea remember our names.
