|summary=

==== Approaching the Island ====
The party stealthily traversed the eastern edge of the peninsula, heading towards the island. A longboat passed without spotting them. However, they detected the sound of footsteps in the mud, indicating the presence of Sahuagin.

==== Activating the Runestones and Crossing the Water ====
They activated the runestones, then sprinted across the water towards Lexana's house. Attempting to hide behind fishing boats, Aldran inadvertently unmoored the lines, setting all the boats adrift. They then seized a boat and rowed to shore, where Aldran secured it.

==== Dealing with the Villagers ====
Villagers approached, intending to take the party into custody. Aldran successfully deceived them, claiming the guards had cut the boat ropes. The villagers, convinced, took the boat and pursued imaginary pirates across the water.

==== Confrontation in Lexana's House ====
Inside Lexana's house, the party heard the thumping of an old clock. Nail kicked down the door and they proceeded upstairs to the dining room. Egon offered inspiration. Nail then kicked open a second door, leading to Lexana's bathroom.

Lexana appeared in the doorway to the porch, but was spotted before she could launch a sneak attack. The party rushed her, landing multiple hits. As she withdrew, she unleashed an ''ice storm'', killing Durmen and severely wounding the others. She attempted to escape by jumping out the window and using a ''fly'' spell, but Nail struck her down, causing her to crash to the ground.

==== Searching and Looting ====
Searching the room, the party discovered a hidden compartment beneath Lexana's bed, containing a large lockbox. Aldran forced open the concealed door, triggering a magic mouth that screamed an alarm and cursed him before deactivating.

==== Returning to the Island and the Lockbox ====
Egon cast ''animate dead'', raising Lexana as a zombie. The party then walked across the water back towards the wharf. Lexana followed, walking beneath the water. A merchant ship crew spotted them, shouting in fear and firing a crossbow at Lexana, hitting her before she disappeared beneath the waves.

The party reached the island and proceeded to the gate. They instructed Lexana to open the lockbox, triggering a magical explosion (fireball) that disintegrated her and lit up the sky, alerting the island's inhabitants to their presence.

The lockbox contained Lexana's spellbook, a moonstone, a sword, and potions.
