Full Report
Party consisting of Aoife Soo, Shirkad, Skol Klectr and Grizz Splitfist arrived at the shores of the Sea of Stone on a bright sunny morning, we swam up to the ship, climbed up on the top deck. There were a few skeletal remains of bugbears but nothing else noteworth.
We went down a hatch and were immediately attacked by some Ghosts, but we took them out with ease. Even this level was quite clear of anything useful, cleared by the previous expedition party no doubt. Then we found yet another hatch going down into the flooded section of the ship and while Grizz was waiting for water breathing spell to be cast, Skol scouted down there alone and then reported the coast was clear.
We explored the underwater section and found that it was at some point breached from outside by somekind of big monstrous creature. In some distance outside the ship, we could see some lights, we decided to focus on the objective. At some point, the wierd fellow Skol just took off into the vast ocean and now it was just the three of us. There were a few rooms in that section that were not explored, so we started with rooms near the front. The door to the front-most room was locked, Shirkad disabled the lock but we found it was also rigged with a poison needle. Luckily, the trap was non functional.
Inside the room was a big treasure chest chained and bolted to the floor. Before we could get closer to it, we were attacked by a barnacle covered bugbear who we also killed easily. However as it fell, I felt awfully sick and nothing could cure me of it. I felt quite slowed too, almost as if cursed by the undead as it was destroyed. We reclaimed the treasure, no doubt the guild will usurp most of it.
There was only one room to the back that was not explored now. We heard two voices shouting, we opened the door to see two shark persons who went into some kind of frenzy when they saw us. Bringing them down was much tougher fight but we prevailed. With the ship explored, we tried to swim out towards the light and found those same shark creature with its pet shark. Since we were in no shape to fight, we recalled back with the treasure.
