Episode 8: serpents of scuttlecove

The characters once again board the Sea Wyvern, this time to sail for Scuttlecove - a hideous city of pirates, slavers, cannibals, and worse - in search of clues to the final Savage Tide and the rescue of their patron.

Part 1 (9/6/2008)

  1. The party returned home to find Lavinia had been kidnapped by a very odd looking man who referred to her as 'Sister'
  2. Vanthus body was no longer in it's grave
  3. Stephan recieved a dream message from Harliss requesting the party come to Scuttlecove to help her destory the Crimson Fleet
  4. The Crimson Fleet has been receiving shadow pearls created on the Isle of Dread
  5. The party sailed to Scuttlecove and left the ship in a nearby cove
  6. The party interrogated a man strung up to die and learned of the factions in Scuttlecove
  7. The party went to Red Foam Whaling to try to meet with Harliss, but they were ambushed and learned she had been captured.

Part 2 (9/20/2008)

  1. The party visited Tyralandi, the proprietress of a brothel to find out what happened to Harliss.  She subtly directed them toward the Birdcage.
  2. The party went to the Minting House to destroy the Yuan Ti and find the map to the Crimson Fleet headquarters.  Unfortunately it was in pirate code.
  3. The party went to the Birdcage, defeated the Harpies, and rescued Harlis.
  4. The party rescued members of the Jade Ravens who had been killed following Lavinia's trail

Part 3 (10/25/2008)

  1. The party gently interrogated Harliss
  2. The party traveled to the Crimson Fleet base to find Lavinia, while the living Jade Ravens kept an eye on the ship.
  3. The party encountered lots of monsters and arrived at the base of a massively cantalevered structure of boats.

Part 4 (11/15/2008)

  1. The party assaulted the tower of cantalevered ships, fighting yuan-ti, harpies, pirates, an Orlath demon, and Cold-Captain Wyther.
  2. The party found the pirate treasure vault with a Wakeportal for traveling to the Abyss
  3. The party interrogated a prisoner and found the Vanthus had taken Lavinia into the Abyss
  4. The party found a statue which allowed them to ask a bunch of yes/no questions as if communing with Demogorgon.  They verified that Vanthus and Lavinia went to the Abyss, that Vanthus did not plan to kill her, and learned that Demogorgon plans to detonate all the Shadow Pearls at once.
  5. Demogorgon finally noticed the commune spell and spoke through the statue.  "I know you."  And he threatened the party with his wrath.  Then the statue exploded, blowing the boat wide open and injuring many of the party members severely, 10d6 each of fire and acid.
