 Once the pirates surrendered the party’s next goal was to save Hamoot who was now 60ft away from the boat. Hamoot started to throw barrels off of the boat as the lizard folk started to tip it. Baphomet started to block off all of the doors that lead to the bottom deck, Thane started tying rope to an arrow, Gabriel started tying up the four pirates that surrendered, and Grey started to loot the dead bodies. Hamoot jumped into the second barrel he threw off and Baphomet cast darkness on the boat to cover his escape. Thane shot his arrow into the barrel and started to pull him in with the rope. One of the lizard folk however realised this and severed the rope. Grey then ran to man the ballista. One of the lizard folk breached the water and tried to attack Hamoot, but he was killed by a ballista shoot from Grey. The next lizard folk tipped the barrel, but Hamoot was close enough now that he was able to swim back to the boat. After taking over the boat the party discovered a sea elf prisoner named Oceanus. He revealed that he was following the ship for some time and he snuck on two day earlier, but was captured when he tried to sneak off. The party found 18,000 gold pieces worth of loot on board and a map leading to the pirate’s next destination. Gabriel the paladin was sucked into the crystal on Baphomet’s staff.

The next morning the group retrieved the three red cloak bandits from the haunted house and set sail for Phandalin. On their arrival they returned the bodies of the mercenaries to their families and gave them their cut. People started to join their crew and they used their new treasure stash to pay to have Tresendar Manor renovated. The founding fathers of Phandalin offered the group a 400 gold piece reward to investigate the lizard folk presence. They learned from the former pirates that there next destination was the lizard folk lair which was the location on the map they found. Baphomet named himself captain and the group set sail with their new crew to investigate. When they arrived at the meeting point with the lizard folk the pirates told them that they have been giving weapons to the lizard folk and that the three lizard folk on the boat when they attacked were delivering the last payment for the weapon’s. Thane, Hamoot, Oceanus, and one of the pirates took a row boat with weapons to the meeting point to try and learn what the lizard folk needed the weapons for. When they got to the beach, roughly 30 lizard folk came out of the woods and they began to unload the weapons. Hamoot cast a spell to let him speak draconic and learned from the lizard folk chief that they needed the weapons for a war with the shark people. The group returned and relayed this information to Baphomet and decided that it would be beneficial to give them more weapon’s and sailed back to Phandalin. Oceanus left to update his people on what he learned. When the group returned they told the founding fathers what they learned and the fathers began to argue about what they should do. Oceanus returned to tell the group that the lizard folk asked his people for aid in the war. During this meeting though the town guard burst in and informed the group that a lizard folk scouting party was at the town and attacked when they realised they were spotter. The guards fought off the group and managed to take two of the prisoner…
