From the depths

The heroes have continued their investigations into the disappearance of House Lyrandar's Siren's Song. With the loss of the airship, one destined to resupply an archaeological expedition on the northeast coast of Xendrik, Lyrandar's officials are concerned about what manner of forces could take down one of their prized airships.

Following leads cultivated from the destruction of the Wharf Rats waterfront gang, the party proceed north along the coast to the fishing hamlet of Gull Rock. After securing transportation from a riverside vendor, not the least of which was a prized riding ratite Xerxes, the group headed out along the tidal causeway to the remote village. Once there they assumed the guise of messengers of the late, but unlamented, henrich and learned that the treasures from the Siren's Song came from a group of sahuagin marauders located among the channel islands.

Their attempts to meet with the sahuagin leader Zilzbek resulted in a battle along the waterfront that left Zilzbek's two lieutenants dead and Zizlbek begging for mercy. Only after providing the band with the information they sought was the sahuagin leader permitted to flee back into the watery depths. Armed with this new information, the party returned to the Bad Penny, there to meet their contact the gnome scoundrel Rumley. Rumley promised the band that he could secure passage to the islands on behalf of his employers. deciding that they would be likelier to encounter the marauders aboard a merchantman, they opted to follow that route instead of securing a smaller, faster, packet ship.

As the session wound down, the band prepared for an oceanic voyage, hoping to discover the mysterious giantish device Zilzbek asserted was behind the downing of the airship.
