Clerics of Torm at a small temple called the Helping Hand sent for help in locating and recovering several relics created by Banites and hidden in the area around Thentia and Melvaunt. The first Tenet of Bane was located in the moors of Thar amidst a village of Xvarts. We retrieved a wand from the warlock running that village and sorted through an illusion of a dragon to find the Tenet of Fear.
* Purchased cold weather gear in muted colors (-4g)

In the Moonsea near Phlan, Lady Maurina Sokol, (No, not THAT Sokol. His widowed aunt by marriage) has leveraged most of her assets in the creation of the Sokol Sea Palace, a floating casino and the* Sea Flower* "pleasure barge." (Yeah, like that, but the nobles dont call them brothels if they float. It's crass.)

Gossip & rumors say spooky noises, phantom tentacles in the ocean mean business is down and the clientele is turning seedy.Sokol needs some adventurers to clean the place up.

Sure, as a marine, I can see why I got the call from the Lord's Alliance. Difficulty seems a bit below my paygrade, but the money's not .

The first. damn. night. there's an attack by a platoon of triton and the Sea Flower is headed to become a reef. A nearby ship, the Tymora's Luck, was also taken by triton and her captain rows our life boat for a shipboarding. This, I know how to do. We take her back and the Luck taxis us to Sokol's palace.

Called in by Derlen Satleren, a Lord's Alliance contact in Melvaunt. Tasked to bring in a ship called The Merchant Lord's Folly and the Teshwave siblings who have been using it for piracy on the Moonsea.
Making our way overland to the cove where the ship had been harboring wasn't difficult. A few sentries weren't that difficult to neutralize.

The Teshwave siblings were another story. They were able to use their pact magic with tremendous efficiency, taking down a ranger named Matlalika. thankfully, the kobold dropped right next to our druid healer and was out of the fight for only a few seconds. We pinned them down and the targets surrendered once they realized they were out of time and there wasn't any escape. They reoented and the druid insisted we let them make a run for it.
We returned the ship to Derlen Satleren, who put a couple bodies on it, spread word that the Teshwaves were captured, then burnt the whole thing as some grandiose message that piracy doesn't pay. Ridiculous.

Story Award: Let Caged Birds Free.

Taking pity or accepting their offer to repent, you have let the Teshwave Siblings go free. Their boat taken from them, their future is currently unknown. But make no mistake, they will make waves again.

• Purchased a good quality longbow (-75g) and studded leather (-45g) in subdued colours to replace the stuff I sold while laying low.
• Assigned Certificate for Bregan D' Arthe Handgonne. "Bit of contraband I was issued in Shadow Company. I haven't practiced with the thing at all. Smokepowder is a hassle to carry. Still... it has potential."

XGE's This is Your Life

My given name is Ara Mystralath. I think of myself as Ara Dundragon. My call sign is Salvo.

I am not like the Wood Elves that live in seclusion. I was not born in a bosky forest, but surrounded by the timbers of a ship. My father is Immeral Mystralath, an ambassador from the elves to the humans. Yes, the one who famously disappeared without a trace. My mother is Shava Mystralath, once known as a painter, but more recently as a jeweler and designer.

My younger sibling, Thia, was born a decade later than I, in the years after my father took his political position and we moved into a large house amongst the humans of Luskan.
I had several friends, and my childhood was generally a happy one. My sister became a priest of Selune. I check in on her when I am near her temple in Thentia; drop some coins in the box, that sort of thing.

As a child—in my early 40s, perhaps?—Invaders attacked the city. I took up arms and stood the wall, picking off the sappers approaching in the dark. When it came time to chase them back to their mountains and swamps, I served as part of a battalion of marines, learning the precepts of my profession while blazing trails and scouting enemy encampments along the rivers.

11 (d12) Life Events

1. 88 fought in a battle. 12 You acquitted yourself well in battle and are remembered as a hero. 6 Leave None Behind. You carried an injured marine for miles to avoid capture and death. You might have received a medal for your bravery.
2. 22 At age fifty-two, I fell in love and married Guy Dundragon, a human naval officer and a cleric of the Red Knight. I married too young for an elf, but I was not that different to a headstrong human adventurer in his late 30s.
3. 68 Remaining pay from time as a Marine. 7 (2d6) gp. I'm not good at saving.
4. 27 After we'd been married six years, we had a daughter. Thia Dundragon (Named for her aunt) is now fifty-six, and an infamous politician like her grandfather. She is rather busy with her life, family, and career, so we don't speak often since her father's death.
5. 98 Encountered the wreck of a ship 20 leagues upriver and 3 leagues from the water. We figured it was something magical. Among the salvage was a potion that I drank in a later skirmish with Orcs. 4 Seems I drank a potion of Heroism (of the DM’s choice). Ever since then, I'll put my neck on the line for my squad, even if I know I'm supposed to stay in cover. Stupidity and compassion are bad habits for a sniper.
6. 60 Pay from time as a Marine. 11 (2d6) gp
7. 01 Tragedy 12 Almost twenty years ago, my husband died of old age. He was seventy and he burned so brightly while he lived; but we age so differently. I loved him fiercely to his last day.
8. 78 Adventure - Suffered a grievous injury. Although the wound healed, it still pains me from time to time.
9. 37 Made an enemy of an Adventurer — a gnome rogue named Boddy Folknor, callsign: Stumbleduck — but they blew our cover, not me. I wasn't the only one who bailed either. Steelfist, Orcbait, and SackRace all scrambled when I did; that was the rules if it went sideways. Most of them are missing now and even I can't track them down.
10. 93 Crime 4 One count of Assault. 7 Nearly caught in the act. Had to disengage and now wanted in the community where the crime occurred. The arrest warrants posted for us were the last I heard of Ducky... looks like Fist, Orcbait, and Sacks avoided the guard's notice.
