Session 99: In which we Quest to Stoneridge Island

by Tricky Frikki (Anya)

Two hours after sunset we left the Wicker Goat and went back to the copse of trees where we had left the chest. We were given a scroll by a child. Mordy read it:
(Insert scroll image here)
 
Our unnamed and unknown benefactor wished us to curry favour with some of the important people in Saltmarsh. He/she suggested we approach @Anders Solmor or @Eliandor Fireborn to gain support and sponsorship for a mission to solve problems on Stoneridge Island, S of Thornhold. Apparently an Abbey there has aligned itself with pirates in the area.
 
Day 23, morning
I went to the church to buy potions and to scout Solmor Mansion, which is 3 storeys. Mordy went to Keledek to get the magic shield checked out. Mir'ek followed him, stealthily. Mordy didn;t get passed the hired help.
 
Late morning we went to the Solmor Mansion. We spoke to young, good looking Anders Solmor himself. He was much nicer (and better looking) than most of the other people we have met in Saltmarsh. Solmor has lost a few ships in the area, not sure if that was due to the reefs, pirates or necromancers. He would like to see a light house built there. He will provide ship transport to there, 200gp and 70 (us)/30 (him ) split of treasure we obtain there. Solmor wrote up a contract and we signed it.
 
Afterwards, Mir'ek and I wanted to look at dresses and Mordy ordered and paid for fine dresses for us! I think our old Mordy is back!
 
Day 24, morning
Next morning we were up early to get on the Solmor ship. We were put in the Mate's cabin and he was a little put out.
 
We spent a day on the boat. After midnight we were awoken and taken ashore to Stoneridge Island. The ship will wait for 2 days and will be back every 4 to 5 days thereafter.
 
Day 25, very, very early.
We were left on a small beach going to a fairly steep rocky ridge that runs around most of the island.
 
Skeletons rose out of the sand to attack us! We dealt with the first lot, moved a little further along and were attacked again. We suffered some wounds that time and Mir'ek did one of special healing tricks to help us all.
