The group board the Soul of Winter, captained by Wolgar Windrune, and set out to search for the derelict and abandoned ship, The Empress of the Waves.
The party are invited to a gala ball at the Primewater Residence by Gellen Primewater himself. Hastings Clark, the uncle of Meriwether will also be there. He has someone he'd like his niece to meet.
The players spend another night learning about the lizardfolk and some of their captives, then head back through the Hool Marshes on a three-day hike back to Saltmarsh. But the Hool Marsh is known for surprises. Yet perhaps, those surprises are preferable to whatever questions and concerns await the party from the Saltmarsh Town Council.
The Queen would like to speak with you about the role of Saltmarsh in the affairs of the lizardfolk and their allies.
Meriwether, Nooben, Korra, Veilla, and Robespierre head deeper into the Hool Marshes to face 1000 Teeth, the ancient and legendary crocodile scourge of the lizardfolk. If they manage to defeat it, they have a chance of proving the value of the squishy ones to the lizardfolk and perhaps some information of what threat faces the Azure coast line.
