In this Pathfinder session, the adventurers Derigorn, Carli, Vi^3, and Myldron Grom embark on an expedition to a mysterious islet founded by a harpy named Torin, Song of Ruin. Torin, inheriting a deadly song from his siren ancestors, created this isolated refuge to protect himself and others like him. The islet remained hidden and unmapped for nearly half a century until its rediscovery prompted an investigation.


The Discovery of Torin's Islet
Torin, a harpy with a bloodline inherited from sirens, possessed a song so deadly it could kill those who heard it. To safeguard his fellow harpies and himself, he founded a secluded islet far from civilization. However, the islet's hidden nature prevented it from being discovered, leaving it unmapped and forgotten for fifty years.   The adventurers Derigorn, Carli, Vi^3, and Myldron Grom set out to uncover the secrets of this mysterious island. Their journey led them to an island covered in purple crystals, later identified as jadetech resonators. These crystals not only amplified Torin's song over long distances but also had the unforeseen effect of granting the island's creatures sonic abilities and resistances. Many of these creatures relied on echolocation to hunt.   Navigating the Islet
Upon their arrival, the party was immediately attacked by the island's inhabitants. Despite the hostility, the adventurers decided against destroying the jadetech resonators, understanding their importance. They chose to treat the creatures harmlessly, navigating the island with minimal damage as they made their way towards the central shrine.   Relying on Grom's boat, the Waveskimmer, they traversed the land and climbed a tall mountain, eventually encountering the island's natives. Initially suspicious of the outsiders, the natives were ultimately open to communication through their preferred method—music.   The Harmonious Concord
Only through song and sound were the adventurers able to gain entry to the heart of the islet. Creating a harmonious concord, they passed through areas that would have otherwise attempted to slay them had they used any other method.   At the heart of the island, they discovered a statue of Torin, immortalized in stone. The statue, sentient and alive, offered them gifts and rewards in remembrance of Torin's adventurous life. Additionally, the statue entrusted them with a sealed document to bring back to Arcani. This document was to serve as a reminder of the islet's existence, ensuring the safety of both the island's natives and outsiders.   Conclusion
The expedition to Torin's islet was a journey of discovery, harmony, and respect for the island's unique nature. Derigorn, Carli, Vi^3, and Myldron Grom successfully navigated the dangers and mysteries of the islet, forging connections with its inhabitants and returning with invaluable knowledge and treasures. Their choices highlighting the importance of understanding and preserving the delicate balance of the islet's ecosystem, as well as the enduring legacy of Torin, Song of Ruin.
