Kinaros

Sailing the Waters of Beauty and Bounty
  Kinaros, a city of vibrant allure nestled within the heart of a warm temperate rainforest, is home to a people known for their exceptional fishing skills and mastery of the migration patterns of the sea. The citizens of Kinaros, dressed in distinctive purple garments, embody the spirit of the sea as they navigate the waters surrounding their beloved island.
  In the city's marina, hundreds of boats, ranging from quaint brigs to luxurious vessels, are docked, creating a mesmerizing sight for visitors. The crown jewel of this maritime haven is the ship named the Northwind, an emblem of opulence and a testament to the city's prowess in both craftsmanship and fishing.
  As the sun sets over the coastal paradise, the bustling energy of the city shifts to a quieter rhythm. The Inn, a two-story establishment, becomes a hub for tales of the sea, while the nearby Fishrot Hollow warns outsiders to not leave the safety of the city.
 
  Very poor.
  Typhon takes all their supplies. Pacura's greatest sail menders. They have mastered many different styles of knitting and sewing.

  You succesfully found and stopped a Blacksun elf spy that has been working against you on Kinaros.
  You hide from some guards and then explore town. Ivan goes incognito and tells you to meet him at sunset. You go to the Dharan healer and then meet Garvin outside, a down on his luck beggar who wants to trade food for information. Before even offering this, you guys supply him with gold and food, then bring him with you to try and haggle for a house boat for him to live in. He inform you Maximus, now being dubbed as the Ocean Prince, has put a bounty on any dark elf spy found on Kinaros. Lord Borigan has hired members of The Triade to infiltrate and destabilize his enemy nations. You try intimidating the frail owner of the boathouse but his whimpering makes you second guess your tactics. You spook him and tell him that he is getting a roommate. You leave and tell Garvin to bunk up, he does. Moira rests, Chris buys some hunting gear and camps out. Arygos drinks a lot and dances with Hugh and Donnal, two random patrons from the fishing sho/inn you are staying in. Henri follows Arygos to the boat house, Hugh comes along. Henrii goes in to spook the owner out but Hugh takes it too seriously, not knowing that it wasn't actually Garvin's home. Hugh throws the man into the water and then jumps onto him from the boat. Hugh drowns the whimpering man. Hugh is drunk and swallows too much water, he dies and it is revealed that he is one of the dark sun elves that Garvin was talking about. You return him for a bounty and head to bed so you can meet Ivan later.
  You fight a patrol of Zephyr guards and Blacksun Elf spies at the campground where you landed on the islands. Ivan awaits the supply drop as his son Sparrow rows the boat all the way from deep water. A signal is sent out from one of the cottages and the blockade is warned. The Zephyr ship launches a fireball, destroying homes and people as well as setting the supplies and Sparrow ablaze. Moira find a cypher on the dark elves and learns some secret information Chris and Ivan swim out to the oil burning water to save Ivan’s son, both receiving burn damage as they do. Moira meets Vultara, a member of The Triade (a rival of the Seekers) and the person who sent the signal to warn the blockade. Moira learned her old faction was on the island and the ongoing war was less relevant to them. Both The Triade and the Seekers were after some kind of ancient artifact that could grant immortality. Moira offers to work with The Triade to further her own means. Made deal to find a report Vultara knew about hidden in the Sawtooth Manor. This is the home of the senile Stormblood Lady Winella, a paranoid angry old woman. Moira does not tell Vultara any of her plan besides they were going to get Ivan to declare a parlay to steal the document. The dead boat owner was seen in Tenttown wearing Garvin’s old clothes. Moira and crew brought the body of the boat house owner and told Ivan that this was the person who sent the signal to the fleet, almost killing his son. Everyone rested as Moira explained the plan to use both magic factions against each other to find the artifact. The artifact is in a history of magic book that Moira bought, the supposed artifact is the Phylactery of the Magelord. Met a recovering Sparrow in the morning, he said his father headed into Fishrot Hollow after a tip that a man matching Cortez’ description was seen there not too long ago. The party needs Ivan to declare Stormblood Parlay to enter Lady Winella’s home to find the report on the location of the artifact. Wave the blue flag. Met with Triade in the morning, introducing yourselves to Izill and Skalden, Triade members here in secret from Lord Borigan. They are going to wait in the wing around the Manor for when you get back with Ivan. Enter the cave and defeat the sahuagin attackers as the cave fills with water. Leaves the magical glowing slacks behind. Arygos was still passed out drunk from the night with Hugh the dead black sun elf.
  Arygos met up with the party as Henri ghosted away through the floor. Arygos fought a shark in one on one combat. You snaked your way through a tunnel system, Chris could fit on the small route, Arygos and Moira went to the full size route. Clicking could be heard in the walls. Mushroom and moss was growing all over the inside of a forgotten tomb. Arygos and Moira set fire to the tomb they are in, on escape, Arygos causes a cave-in where Moira takes some smoke and fire damage. Chris comes to help but causes another cave-in on the small tunnel. Arygos digs out Moira and they move a coffin to see the mushroom growth has eaten a path through the cave. Chris loots some chests. Not a rogue though. Moira and Arygos move down the large tunnel continuing to hear things in the wall. Another cave in happens after Arygos trips. They run to a clearing where the small tunnel Chris was in meets up. There are some chests here and the group is attacked by Dogmoles They attack and discover a passage upwards by removing a large fungal growth. They reach the top to discover a Dogmole Juggernaut and they run down a corridor. The party just makes it through a crawl space as the juggernaut rams its head into the wall. You find yourselves in a large web of blue tendrils that are set up like a neuron in a brain. they solve this puzzle as they fight numerous myconids throughout. Moira more or less just jumps for it down the 80 ft. depth They get passed that as they enter a small dark room with glowing red mushrooms. The center of the room has an orb of darkness. They solve the chest puzzle and defeat the Hook Horror.
  Escaped from cave, Moira concussed herself by trying to jump the spiky rocks at the bottom of the cliff, fails and then hits water. Arygos has to save her from drowning. Henri visited Garvin who has started a seemingly successful fishing company based out of the house boat you guys got him. Bought a diving bell and everything. Henri and Chris had a fishing montage. Scouted Seekers camp to see that Remus Silverstaff is on the island. This can only mean that he believes the artifact is located on Kinaros. Chris uses his wand of smiles while sneaking up on Ivan, I made Ivan smile but he saw Henri running off. Entered Sawtooth under blue flag of Parlay, risking Ivan's freedom. Winella turned mean and imprisoned Ivan on the Zephyr Galleon docked to the south of the island. You were able to locate the report from 30 years ago that Vultara mentioned. It doesn’t have much but it lists an Eastern fisherman reporting a friendly merelf named Deway as well as burying a body Deway brought to shore. Winny was mentioned a relative of Lady Winella. Chris wants to talk to Moira about breaking in. Moira wants to enlist help of Triade.
  Participate in a magic ping pong tournament with the three undisciplined members of The Triade. Tell The Triade to go and cause a distraction. Meet a blind Eastern fishermen named Antiguo, you receive a journal entry that the dying man from 30 years ago wanted him to have. (22). Borrow Garvin’s diving bell to go meet Antiguo’s friend Deway who hasn’t visited in some time. Sailed to the merelf village. Arygos and Moira dropped underwater. A random guard in the town recognizes Arygos as a dragonborn with some Dragon Eel in him. Arygos takes off his helmet which activates his old eel traits. Meet Deway and his sick wife Mooki, turns out these are the parent of Mako. Deway sensed the tsunami and saved his estranged wife without knowing Mako was even looking for her. Deway also had a journal entry. (02) Henri and Chris fought some crabs, Chris is allergic. Went to the unmarked grave of Flint Lancashire. You are led by Deway, he agreed to help after you gave his wife a healing potion. The coffin is empty but another journal was preserved by the water sealing rune that Deway put on the box 30 years previous. (23) Head back to town, which is on fire because The Triade members were causing a distraction. Decided in the chaos to save Ivan from the Zephyr Galleon. Successfully do that. Got things from chests, lit the Zephyr Galleon up after saving some Kinarosian guards.
  You enter this session with the timbers of the Zephyr galleon mixing with the ashes that were the markets of Kinaros. Skalden of the Triade set some of the city on fire to distract from you guys discovering information nowhere near the city. Flint was known as a sort of Benedict Arnold around Pacura. He gained trust in the rebels only to betray them to gain favor with the Typhon army. He then turned on Typhon years later to steal the Phylactery of the Magelord. This item of immortality is what the ongoing strife in the islands is all about. 1. Thormund of Typhon seeks ultimate power in which his father was too weak to control. 2. Lord Borigan has hired the Triade of the Fallen Night to help him secure the artifact. Motive unknown. 3. The Triade of the Fallen Night has sent its own emissaries to retrieve the item because they believe it is the key to defeating death. 4. The enemies of the Triade are the Seekers. They also search for the phylactery so they can lock it away in their vaults in Westmoor so only the chosen wizards can use such grand magic. The key to its location seems to be in the story of Flint Lancashire. After finding a few of his journals you followed a mystery that lead to his unmarked grave. Flint's body had been moved and the location of the artifact is at a dead end. • You know the Triade does not have it because they asked for your help. • You know civilians in this town have been replaced with Triade shapeshifters. • You know Remus Silverstaff is accompanying his wizards to try and find the item. • You know Kinaros is in flames. • You know what you've learned from the journals You head to the work camp because Moira found a document saying Winella had been replaced. You watched as Remus used a Silence Magic spell on the work camp to then send his men in to kill the remaining Triade members on Kinaros. Found 2 journal entries on the bodies of the Seekers, learn that they are moving out to another island after learning new information. The young boy Ulrick does not know anything further.(01, 04) Chris saved Winella but because he popped out of the shadows, she thinks he is a demon. Henri, Arygos and Moira killed the young last Seekers after getting his name and where his father lived. Moira took an igneous rock ring of the boy named Ulrich as well as a lock of his hair. Seekers were supposed to denounce all connection to their former life. Created a lynch mob as they arrived to the smoldering town and gathered anyone on the streets to raze the Sawtooth Manor with the black sun elf spies taking residence. After a long battle and cowboy shootout, with Winella riding on Arygos’ back, you killed the imposter. The real Lady Winella is about to hang the three Triade members who set her town on fire as the Zephyr blockade is destroyed by a large armada of ships bearing a new flag, The Royal Navy. Led by Dove on the Kraken, Maximus on the Howling Porpoise and Quinn on the Golden Fleece. They scare off the southern side of the blockade and bring supplies to their new apply in the Royal Navy, Lady Winella of Kinaros. Towing behind their ships is a repaired Gobsnapper. Knowing you have a ship again you tell Winella to stop the execution. You induct Vultara, Izill and Skalden into the crew of the Gobsnapper Max and Kricia introduce you to their daughter Illia, the future princess of Pacura. Kricia, the prophet gives each of you a clam shell with a letter written in it. She even gives you one for Sossori, which you decide to read out loud as a team. Kinaros, Hydri, Milos, Kyra and Eidon in spirit fight against the tyranny of Typhon and Zephyr, with Gyaron being in a gray area on where they stand. To finish up business on Kinaros, you head to the Seeker camp. You find one last seeker loading up the final cart before heading to the northern dock. You kill him and find another journal entry saying that Flint hid journals in the Pit on Gyaron. Ride after the boat to see it set sail heading for Gyaron, confirming your next stop. End of Session 08 Thoughts Moira: continue chasing the phylactery and its location. Chris: as long as it’s not the mainland, he Gucci. Henri: phylactery Arygos: basic macguffin
 
  After the long journey to free Kinaros you decide to let loose at the local tavern. Arygos and Moira get people dancing and singing. Chris leaves to catch fish and find berries. Henri hangs out in the room with your new shipmates Vultara, Skalden and Izill. During the festivities you meet a happy-go-lucky cripple named Stefan and a recent widow named Francisca. Chris and Fransisca go and bake in the kitchen during the party. In that time two gnome traders come in to see what the commotion was. Moira drunkenly informs them of Chris' identity and they inform then that they wish to kill Chris. The brothers names are Jonah and Oliver. Chris is their older brother who killed their father. Arygos accidentally sets the tavern ablaze, he then kidnaps the unimposing gnomes. Around here is when Moira uses a potion of diminution on Oliver. Chris and Fransisca escape but not before enjoying a room to themselves. Henri and the shiphands partook in some yandu that Skalden had with him. Them being mostly incoherent made Chris have to help then from the burning building. All the crew, which now included Fransisca and Stefan, escapes back to the Gobsnapper. Moira and Arygos begin interrogating Oliver and Jonah. A fight ensues between Chris and Arygos because Arygos harms Jonah. Chris almost kills the dragonborn. To calm the situation Chris offers Arygos a potion of healing, little did he know that Arygos gave him that a while back as a prank and it was actually a potion of poison. After many failed attempts, the tied up Jonah offered his poison kit and that cured him. Oddly enough, Arygos still wanted to murder the brothers and in that distraction, Moira took the Oliver and threw him into her bag of holding. After the scuffle settled down everyone agreed Oliver must have escaped the ship. Jonah's hatred for his brother, mourning the death of his father, lead the younger brother to take Henri's offer of a knife and stab his older brother. Another fight ensued with Jonah eventually being launched off the boat. Chris jumped in to save him after he repeatedly told his friends he did not want his brother harmed.
