Short summary:
Party met in pug. Discussed what Lynn saw at the Blight Rock island the last time she went there, and what she hopes to discover on a return trip to map out the area. Ari provided transportation services by means of teleportation, arriving in the air some distance from the islands coast. A quick swim over on Lynn's wildshape gathered everyone up to the coast fairly quickly
After drying off, the island was discovered to be enshrouded by a dust cloud to obscured vision. The party opted to head over towards the center of the island to see the source of the cloud - conveniently in the path of the ghost town. Along the way the party bumped into two elves, Talyn and Ratel, who claim to be from the ghost town they call 'Rua'. Ari noted they don't smell or radiate heat 'normally', causing some suspicion and threats to be exchanged. Talyn and Ratel explained they were farmers, living simple lives in the shadow of the castle. Not wanting trouble, the elves parted ways when dismissed by Ari with a scamper.
Afterwards the party made it to the ghost town, finding it occupied by more of these 'elves'. They encountered a group arguing, picking up a rumor that some of the local youths disappeared in some sort of struggle. The elders dismissed the complainers as the party made their introductions as being from First Landing. They learned that the village avoids contact with the castle, that the Blight Rock island has been autonomous and isolated from the outside world, and the two missing victims may have gone missing around a strange rock in the island.
The party opted to investigate the strange rock. As they traveled, strange dreams came across them in the night, which seems to be the result of a Moon Hag. Aforementioned Moon hag tried to ambush the party but Reiko was able to alert them in time to prepare. The hag was accompanied by two werewolf like creatures, which after the fight was discovered to be the two missing youths who seemingly were corrupted. It was at this point the party suspected this may be the influence of Monday .
The party eventually reached the 'Moon Stone' the next day. A quick investigation revealed that the stone was the source of the dusty cloud blinding the island, and that some strange entity was sealed away inside. However the seals are beginning to fail, and within a matter of days the creature would spring free. The party made a plan to conduct a ritual to repair the seals (and maybe set up traps to slay the creature within in a controlled area). During the ritual, a moon corrupted spider and moon corrupted floating eye ball appeared and attacked, but were soundly defeated. Afterwards the party managed to complete the ritual and reaffirm the moon stones seals.
With the moon stone sealed, it shrunk down into a medium sized egg. The moon corruption and dust cloud vanished, presumably leaving Blight Rock to recover to its original (maybe blighted) state. The party, tired, opted to recall and explore the change in the island at a later date.
