Demons Of The Burning Night: Part Eleven

General Summary

The decision to leave much of the discovered treaure behind, the companions return to the old stockade and the crew of "The Scourge". The ship's captain, Aroth, is eager to continue exploring ways to get what remains of his crew of the island and yet another cagey discussion begins centred around the air ship that Aroth knows is at the group's disposal. However a display of arcane power by Sylke and an intriguing offer of a partnership (of sorts) persuades Aroth that perhaps his best way of the island is to help Cran's crew waylay the ship that is due to arrive from Sel-kai. A "letter of Marque" is suggested that will allow the former crew of The Scourge to return to their piratical ways using the ship the party hope to seize from The Iron Bell cultists.
Sylke and Ugnan muse that perhaps attaching Aroth's (dubious) loyalties to House Elgata may prove beneficial for all involved. Certainly, Aroth and his second (Porgno) are willing. As a gesture of good faith, Aroth offers up the password that will be needed if the companions are to enter the city by The Red Gate but is surprised to discover that the party already have this information (courtesy of Sylke and Cherry's earlier investigation of the tower). The party now lay plans, aided by what Aroth's crew can recall of the layout of the demon-haunted city of Tarek Nev.
