The Peering Eye

Chapter 1 - New Recruits

Scene: New recruits 

Captain Hunt gives a speech, kinda hoping for a troublemaker to make an example out of. Hunt is a well spoken Mome leader who is used to respect and is menacing when he is not obeyed.

“I’m not the kind of Mome you may be used to.”  
“There is always one who thinks he’s a better man than I, is it you?”
“I will keel haul anyone who disobeys an order.” 

No one his foolish enough to talk back to the captain at this point.

Scene: Introductions

Commander Mearsk introduces the Crew and assigns duties and quarters.  A questions is asked by Caleb, “What happened to the previous mage…?” No answer is forthcoming.

Scene: Sail out of Stormhaven

Its on a cold windy day. The seas are rough. It is time to adjust to sea sickness. Caleb and Guathak have a rough time of it, but the triton, the Uisce priest and the sea Elf have no problems. The Giff officer revels in the roll of the sea.

Scene: Shark Tail

The ship is being trailed by something in the water – often this is a dolphin school playing. This time it is sharks. Missile fire is of limited effectiveness but eventually works. Once a couple are killed the rest stop following. Could they be Sahuagin spies?

Scene: Navigation and assignments

Vaygo and Caleb work to Navigate the ship. Anemos joins in using magic to speed the ships passage. Commander Maersk assigns them their duties. The speed to the ship is also heavily dependent on the luck of the winds. They make a huge difference to ship speed and they get to their destination incredibly quickly.

Scene: Misty Isle

It’s shrouded in mist, but you can just make out shapes. Captain will only stop for a couple of hours to get a better tide because the ship must get to Borkin Island. Caleb deduces that there’s something strange going on with Riekan Point.

Scene: A strange attack

The new recruits go ashore at Misty Island. They are attacked by phantasms of their past. Two hobgoblins in Torlandish armor, Two wolves, Two Sahugain. These are being formed from nothing out of their fears and actively disbelieving these illusions does not seem to be enough to prevent them from being affected. There is a presence that doesn’t want them there. So they leave.

Scene: Arrival at Borkin.

Its a rainy cloudy day. They land at Gambit via a rowing boat.  The town is locked up tight. They are attacked by a Sahuagin patrol. It is a tough fight but they emerge victorious.
