Sword Coast 1: A New Ship and a Treasure Map

General Summary

Our heroes had a few weeks of downtime in Saltmarsh, Rose was able to upgrade their ship and hire a full crew. Our heroes reconnected at the Mermaids Tale, a bar frequented mostly by local fishermen. Ulfgar found his fourth cousin, three times removed holding a birdcage with a raven inside. Ulfgar found that his immediate brother just passed away, in his culture the individuals raven, Roak, is passed to the next-of-kin. 
Rin arrives with the ale and soon after a small halfling approached our heroes' table and sat down, she asked if they are the crew of the Smuggler's Revenge Mark II. She mentioned that she had some information the crew might be interested in. When questioned she said that for a small fee she would give them information about a hidden cash of treasure. Rose hands over five gold pieces. The halfling pulls out a small sea chart and points out a hidden cove that is used by the Sea Princes, the local pirate organization. She said that it is guarded by a small skeleton crew but the halfling cannot say how many. She refused to give her name to our heroes. She quickly takes the gold and leaves the map. Our heroes finish eating and decide to leave early in the morning.
In the morning our heroes head out, the weather was clear, the sailing was smooth. The day turns into night, Ulfgar looks up from his chess game, he hears clamoring up the side of the ship. He listens closer, it seems to be coming from all sides. He puts his had on his axe and looks over the side of the ship, he sees some strange fish folk. Poji wakes the crew and grabs a sword. Battle starts. It was tough, these fish people hit hard. Eventually they all jump off the ship. Ulfgar threw his magic javelin at the remaining creature. All enemies are gone and everything is eerily quiet.
After another day of travel our heroes find the cove they were looking for. Before going in they need to rest and make a plan.
