Session Summary[edit source]
Synopsis[edit source]
The party goes to jail while Nail goes sailing...
This Session[edit source]
The party finishes the short walk to the Jail and garrison building as the suns rays start to lighten the horizon. The guards disarm the party and walk them down the stairs into the dark cool dungeon under the barracks. They are separated into individual cells, each with a small cot and a bucket to relieve themselves in. In exhaustion they fall into in a deep sleep and for the first time in days get a full nights rest.
A day passes and the party is awakened to the sound of jailor bellowing wake up, chow time! After a few minutes the jailor leaves and Halvor comes clattering down the stairs and into the hall outside their cells. He mentions the regional judge who travels the coastal route hearing cases should be in town in about a week and he will hear their pleas. He assures them their prior help to the town will not be overlooked but that he (Halvor) cant abide wanton lawlessness and the threat of turning Corgelia into a pirate and corsair haven was just to much.
As Halvor departs he passes Aldrans cell who complains of pain and as its something he doesnt want want to let the party know asks Halvor to come closer. Balmaris edges closer to to his cell door to make an attempt to grab Halvors keys. Halvor suspecting something is up keeps some distance between him but Aldran sheepishly keeps asking him to come closer as the topic is embarrassing.
Alrdran tries to explain in a whispering voice the pain is in his groin area and would Halvor take a look at it. Taken aback at the reason and request, Halvor jerks backward just as Aldran makes a grab for him and tries to knee him through the bars. The two exchange taunts and now enraged Havor opens the cell and the trade blows. Aldran jumps up on his cot as Halvor tries to grab Aldran by the neck but Aldran slips, (opposed grapple crit fumble) breaking his leg in the process leaving him prone and incapacitated.
Myra's Job Offer
While the party slumbers in jail, and the Sea Ghosts makes its way out to sea Myra offers Nail a job. Complementing him on his martial prowess and overall levelheaded behavior while in combat against overwhelming odds are traits she appreciates. She moves closer and with a sly smile says that he could take the place of Sigurd "Snake Eyes" as her first mate. Nail declines the offer as he has already made commitments that need to be attended to first. She briefly looks at him with a mixture of admiration but then her faces turns back into a scowl and she stalks off to the helm. She yells out to bring the loot topside, and prepare the small boat to put Nail ashore once they are further away from Coregilia.
An hours sail finds them a few miles offshore. The sailors finish loading a small chest with coins and gems, half a dozen bolts of silk, 12 kegs of brandy, a crate of weapons (swords). With a heave Nail puts oars to water and begins the long row to shore as the morning sun rises. By mid-day he finds himself entering the harbor and not long after ties up at the pier. Beat from the prior nights battle, the sun, and rowing Nail dozes off in the boat. He wakes up some time later and covering the goods with a heavy piece of canvas he secures the boat and heads off towards the jail.
As he crosses Sharkfin bridge he feels a momentary twinge of cool air and catches a musky smell of earth that makes him pause before resuming his walk to the jail.
We're busting out of here!
Leaving Aldran moaning on pain on the floor he stalks out just as Balmaris blasts him with multiple guiding bolt spells that knock him unconscious, dropping him to the stone floor within reach of Balmaris. He quickly removes the keys and unlocking his cell drags Halvor into it before locking him inside. He tosses the keys to Durmen who unlocks the rest of the parties cells while Balmaris tries to set Aldrans leg.

Durmen makes his way back to Aldrans cell and crafts a makeshift splint from the wood of Aldrans cot and a bit of luck with his mend spell restores some functionality to Aldrans leg.
The party gathers in the hallway outside their cells as the sound of the jailer yelling out for Halvor echos down the hall. With no response forthcoming, the party hears a bell ringing in the distance. The alarm raised they ponder their next action.

His salt-and-pepper beard, streaked with golden highlights, frames a twinkling blue eye and a perpetually lopsided grin. A faded tattoo of an anchor dances on his muscular forearm, a relic from his days at sea. Though now retired, callouses still cling to his broad hands, reminders of hauling nets and battling storms. His attire is a mishmash of practicality and comfort: sturdy boots, patched trousers, a well-worn fishing vest over a loose linen shirt, and a captain's hat perpetually perched at a rakish angle.

Wears a black leather outfit with an intricate pattern of interlocking crescent moons on the chest.
