Hitting The Boardwalk

Life, Relocation

April and the others of the party continue to travel South after defeating the encroached encampment of some Magehound Bandits. They make bonds with a local mastersmith by the name of Elric, and reunite with old friends before all resting up at The Pearl Jam, their new home when not on the road.

Travelling South now, back to the portside town of Boardwalk where many of them came onto the island, some for the first time, others just having this be one of many. The town is built outwards into the ocean and rests upon a large complex system of wooden beams, platforms, and pillars that jut deep into the pitch of the ocean, the party explores other locations of lore, wealth, or just a place to settle for a while, wandering the cities many shored, and piered districts. They eventually come to find the tavern known as The Pearl Jam and book a sizeable room (big enough for 6) in it's basement, and fund that space for the better part of a year. The party decided the next morning to seek out a local blacksmith by the name of Elric they had heard of who placed a bounty on the bandits that the party had taken out. The blacksmith was a unique thing, a golem of sorts, but... not quite. He, it... they. They gave the party their payment and after taking an assessment of the party he offered his services as Elric The Mastersmith, a title they had recently gained from an annual competition. Their shop was bustling always and Elric would often brag about never needing rest so rush orders, while still at a premium, are a thing they can do with no issue.   They spent some time conversing and establishing bonds with Elric before leaving to check out other contracts offered at the local guild hall which had posted bounties of locally known criminals out of the FairHaven Bounty Hunters' home base as they happily post other guild’s bounties for a small fee. It was here that they were reunited with Squeeks the Moon Druid, and Ruvyn "Shopkins" Morsys. April and the other find that they have been staying at a different inn across town for the past few days, and offer them space in their room.
They travel to the east, at Shopkins' request, taking a bounty to take out a local infestation of Goblins just ashore of an abandoned dock. They dispatched them quickly and found crude writings on the Goblin's bodies and indications of a goblin stronghold somewhere on the island... Shopkins has not been seen since - splitting off to look into and try to halt this menace as any true Bladesinger would, the party returns and collects their reward from the hall, spending their first of many nights inside of their new space below The Pearl Jam.
