The Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh

Diplomatic action

The Forevor Pumpkin Platoon tries to recruit the town of Saltmarsh but become the suspects in a crime...

The adventurers sail to back to Saltmarsh to try and rally the town against The Sahuagin Menace. When they arrive, they are confronted by Eliander Fireborn who accuses them of killing Ned Shakeshaft. Ned's head was found in a dumpster behind The Snapping Line after the party said he gave his life trying to defend The Forever Pumpkin Platoon. In particular, Fireborn blames Seneschal who was the only person who did not have an alibi the night Ned's head appreared.   Thorongil stepped in to convince fireborn that Ned - his former partner - was still speaking to him from the great beyond. Distraught, Fireborn left to find the soul of Ned that was still "calling to him."   The party then consults the town council and Keledek, the town's wizard. After showing Keledek and the council the Sahuagin arm, the council is greatly concerned and vows to fight. Keledek immediately leaves to begin preparations for the coming battle. He also outfits The Sea Ghost with a magical balista and magical keel that should allow them great speed in the water.   The players then decide to leave for Coryselmal in the morning.
