Yes Saltmarsh Loves Me

The strangers traveled home on the Ghost and as they were traveling decided to call themselves the Wizlards of the Coast.  The Ghost was towed home by Xendros and the Shadow Dancer.  They made it home after their visit to the escape with no further problems upon which they docked the Ghost at Gellen’s pier which had an open spot.  Gellen and Tylsaria met them at the docks and congratulated them upon their overwhelming success upon which Gellen said he would set up a council meeting in the morning.  Adamus and Ellie stayed at the ship while Abe wooed Tylsaria with success and they disappeared to Gellen’s mansion to have a tumble in the sheets.  They also learned that while they were gone there was some unrest in Saltmarsh and uneasiness in the streets at night and that the Mafera’s blacksmith shop had been assaulted by some thugs wearing hoods and they had made off with about 1000 GP worth of material and money.    In the morning the party decided to do some shopping before the council

  My music she grows more potent.  Each string on this new guitar pulses into the arcane ether.  The vibrations they sing in my soul.  And, if the legends of the muse Etefan are true, the rhythm is going to get you. Our return to Saltmarsh brought forth many gifts.  The town gave us use of the ship, we we have called the Kraken Chaser.  The townsfolk, in whispers or proclamations, call us the “Wizlards of the Coast”.  Maybe it’s the fact that we paraded lizardfolk through the town square just a day or so after almost blowing it up.   Adamas has taken it on himself to recruit all of the pretty women of the town to crew the Chaser.  Cannot say if the parrot is huring or helping him here.  On that note, Tylsaria is confused by my advances so perhaps a parrot is what I need. We need to crew with six officers and 20 crew.  Since we don’t know who to trust in the town, it’s a risky undertaking.  Fearing for her safety, Lleyash convinced Hannah to shelter aboard the Kraken Chaser after she wa

I should have been posting some of these along the way but here is SOME of the fun that has convinced me I'm never going to try to make models and battlemaps this fun.   Maybe I can outsource to Halstead Kelley Enterprises Whitecrag Hideout and Mike's Beverage Cart :) Misdirection is the sincerest form of flattery Back from COVID after Halstead has built the whole city Sunken treasure and a fishing pole Gnolls attacking the farm.  Ellie killing everyone. EDIT: Mike also just sent a few snaps of the Tavern.  Here's one that reinforces the point....  

 

 The mighty DM told us to ponder what we would want to do at level 4 in preparation for the November session.  Hopping onto DNDB, I opened my character sheet and immediately fell down a rabbit hole.  Who cares about level 4 when we should be exploring new character art icons?  Specifically, animated gifs for my bard!  The 8-bit beach dude was the obvious winner for me. As an aside, Lleyash quickly got into the fun and his may be even better.  In related news, I need to remember to ask the crew if they have a good piece or two of reference art on how they really see their characters.  I'd provided the artist with some images as well as physical write ups Notable mentions from my art search below.
