We received notification to head to an island as a test. We boarded a ship and were transported to the island, meeting with a man that knew who we were and seemed to be in charge--in a way. Although the island was a bit weird. We left the mainland as night fell but the island itself was alight and busy. Surx was in a different form, I'm uncertain if I've ever seen it before. We wandered through and were led to a large manor.

Shev was being...whatever he is at time. I don't even know anymore.

Walking up the manor steps, we met with Leland Armstrong Leadale the 4th (Ted Lasso), who hired us. We were led through the manor and Surx connected us all telepathically which I think will be the greatest mistake considering Shev is here. Surx and Shev have a strange kink thing going on where Surx calls him master.

I learned far too many things about the Syndicate people here than necessary.

But then we were led to a dining room and given breakfast. I didn't eat anything as per usual but its still strange to me that time is different here. It appears I will need to get an orb of time. Lord Leland did let us know there is a stroke of bad luck impacting the town and he wants to see what the Syndicate can do. He sent us to investgate a shipwreck that has a nasty infestation on it. Some guards were sent out that way but came back without success. They were attacked by strange tentacle creatures and arrows like coral needles were shot at the guards.

We prepared ourselves and headed out to the shipwreck where Surx saw a bunch of tentacle creatures and then compared them to Shev. Can they stop revealing strange kink things.

We engaged in combat with the creatures and it's unfortunate but the spellcaster creatures seemed to have summoned the fighter ones. After making sure everything is clear, we confirmed all the missing items and headed back to the manorhouse to return them to Lord Leland. He gave us our payment and a gift of paint pigments.

15th of Eleint, 1502 DR

Myself, Salt, Jasmal, Socks, Shelves

The town of Teadale on an island far away requested our help! A shipwreck with shipment needed to be recovered. The island felt a bit eerie from afar, but once on it, everything was alright. After being offered breakfast and such, we went on our way.

Turns out, some priests with strange sea serpent symbols took hold of the thing. Many of them. They felt off, as if they should not be there. Still, they were no match for all of us. Jasmal's mighty defence, Socks' mighty offence, Salt's many magics, my own mighty offence, and Shelves'... presence?

Once we were rid of them, we took the shipments back to the place and were given a TON of gold, as well as magical paint. I traded my paint for a lot of gold from Surx.

All in all, a success!

With resolve,

15 Elient,1502 D.R.

Myself, Salviron, Snap, Shev, and Bri were dispatched by ship to the faraway island town of Leadale --named for its mayor's family, or vice-versa, who have ruled the place for hundreds of years, it seems. A crew of humble sea-men delivered us there in good order, though the destination was made ominous by a vast field of beached whale bones. What causes the whales to hurl themselves upon the dry sands of that island, we do not know.

It was nightfall when we arrived, but the town was bustling nonetheless. We were directed to the mayor himself, who treated us to breakfast at 8:00 in the evening. Strange, but I cannot fault it; I would have breakfast for every meal if my chef Ludmilla would allow it. Something about the mayor disconcerted me, and I held my silence for most of the affair. He directed us to salvage a shipwreck for him, carrying important cargo we didn't ask about. Guards had apparently been dispatched to the purpose, but had failed, so it was up to us expendables.

Off we went, and when we arrived on the scene, we found a veritable garrison of tentacled sea-cultists engaged in some sort of ritual... or perhaps just recovering that cargo. After a brief discussion, we charged them without much preamble; they shouted "Interlopers!" at us and then went on the offensive themselves, so I do not feel poorly about the decision. It expedited matters.

It was rather a grueling battle. The octopus-men were tougher than they looked, and called upon lightning that proved more than an irritation. Still, when we defeated the spellcasters, the warriors simply... dissolved into nothing. They were summoned from somewhere beyond, it would seem.

Once they were dispatched, we returned the salvage to Mayor Leadale, who paid us for our efforts.

Once again, one of our number who should have been present was not, and Thrax found replacement at the last moment. I fear for her. But that is unimportant to this mission.
