• Suika is full of ships and sailors from all over Pescat and Liat
• They have to go find a lead on where to find Lee
• Stop by a bar to get intel, they’re not that successful
• Balasar finds a couple dragonborns, but they’re suspicious of him
• Eventually they head to town square, find a merchant complaining about smuggling
• He mentions Lee and his private vessel hanging out at edge of sea
• Only stops at port once every day
• If they help him out and deal with Lee they’ll get rewarded!
• So the long stakeout begins
• They find a good view of Suika’s harbor, sees Lee’s ship on the horizon
• It’s a three-level deal with guards patrolling it constantly
• When it stops at port, an orc and half-elf drop off some boxes onboard
• They also take a few crates with them when they leave

• Takes them to rest of party, they’re coded about Paper Dragons plans
• They’re planning a big shipment of weapons and relics coming in a week
• They also find an origami rhino with the party’s names on it
• The next day they stop the orc and half-elf at a bar, intimidate them a lot
• Balasar is so intimidating that they give up uniforms immediately
• Orc knocks half-elf out, gets Balasar to knock him out to make it look like fight
• They steal the uniforms, prepare to board Lee’s ship next day
• The clothes don’t fit great, but Balasar and Bucephalus disguise themselves to board ship
• Guppy dives into water by docks, will meet them at ship
• The two of them get suspicious looks, but they manage to get onboard
• They find a small crate with some letters and plans inside
• Valuable info about a shipment coming in next week
• Lots of weapons and supplies, some kind of ancient relic called a ‘Ream’
• The party goes over to Lee’s quarters to interrogate him

• First, good job on killing Lee and getting info about shipment
• BUT, they pissed off Pescat’s most powerful deity tonight
• They’re going have to do a lot of prayers or something to atone
