The captain’s eye
Cisco noticed Captain Stormeye’s prosthetic eye pulses with arcane magic — apparently worth a lot to the right buyer.
Cisco asked Stormeye what was going on with the chest. Captain acted super sus: “they can’t have it, it’s mine.”
Cisco threatened the captain. Ironside stood him down.
The heart in the chest
Stormeye revealed the chest contains a heart (The Heart of Brackenford):
- Took it from a hag with promises of prosperity for Brackenford.
- Heart gives power of the sea — good winds, fish harvests, etc.
- Exerts control over people.
- Powered by malevolent energy from someone keeping it alive.
The party decided to find the hag and sever the curse.
The ravine
Arrived at an island and a ravine — single weathered watchtower and a cave.
- Possibly some other stuff happened before we entered.
- Went in. Avoided crabs scuttling about.
- Ruasar noticed a large sea creature.
