-[[Place:Headquarters]] is set up.  [[Player:Nalla]] accidentally insults [[NPC:Patsky]] by suggesting that a kobold would be good at making traps.  He IS good at that, but resents the implication that it is good because he is a kobold.
+====== Giant's Incorporated ======
-[[Character:Talanatha Three Coins]] is missing, and Claire is investigating.
-During the downtime, after the Mire of Dead Men fiasco, Claire has letters sent through official channels to ask about franchises.  On Wednesday, she receives a message from Head Office saying they will put us in contact with an information broker.  A day later, there is an envelope sitting on her bed, sealed with red wax and a letter G.  "What do you want to know?  Leave message in stump to west of your manor. -G"

-[[Place:The Order of the Stout Half-pint]]
+[[Session 8]]
-The next day, after putting in the information, Claire goes about her day in her tinkering room.  Inside a drawer is a larger envelope with a wax-sealed G.  Creepy.  Inside it is a map with an island northwest of Neverwinter circled and labeled "[[Place:Lighthouse]]" on the [[Place:Silent Sound]].
+[[Session 9]]
-The party will find a path to Neverwinter via sea.  [[NPC:Johnny]] takes the party to the coast.  There, the party meets The Stale Whale.  It's a poorly-carved blue whale head, with a poorly carved figurehead, and seems to barely be sea-worthy.  The dwarf captain, [[NPC:Captain Stonefoot]], welcomes the party aboard.  He goes to cast off, and just breaks off the attachment point for the rope and coils up the rope and anchor, which he tosses into the ship.  Claire casts Mending, and attempts to fix the ship in general.  Stonefoot does not inspire competence, especially with the phrase "I just keep the coast on my right and we'll be fine" (not starboard, right).
-Sailing up the coast, the party sees a ship on the horizon.  Clearly making out the shape from afar, this indicates that the ship is quite large.  It's bigger than a Man of War, with multiple blue-skinned humanoids with white beards and horned helmets.  Clearly, frost giants, which are widely known as raiders.  It's strange for them to be so far south.  Stonebeard fans the reins of the boat (?) and walks away to where the sails are to unfurl them fully.  Piffany falls over and gets her arm stuck in a hole.  Claire also falls slightly, but not to a hilarious effect.
-Several frost giants pick up blocks of pure ice and throw them at the boat, narrowly missing them.  "No one can outsail the Stale Whale... AT HYPERSPEED" says Stonefoot, who goes to grab oars.  Wraq drops his oar, [[Player:Thorfin]] and [[Player:Nalla]] row quite well, while [[Player:Claire]] and [[Player:Piffany]] do moderately okay.  Against all odds, the Stale Whale outpaces the frost giants.
-Continuing past Neverwinter, the party heads to the lighthouse, only to find [[Player:Wraq]]'s satchel shaking.  "I'm going to need you to do some extra work for me.  I have a contract in Neverwinter, [[NPC:Appal DeScart]] you can find in the [[Business:Stable Quiver]] in the Black Lake part of town.  She's a shapeshifter, so I can't say what she'll look like.  You can suss her out with the phrase  'That's a big henhouse.' 'Only to a small fox.'  Tell her it's safe to move the cargo along the Platinum Road.  The affair should only take a few hours, and then you should be on your way."  The party makes a note to head to Neverwinter after the Lighthouse.
-The Silent Sound Lighthouse comes into view over a promontory of dangerous-looking rocks.  If a lighthouse is supposed to act as a beacon, then something is seriously wrong.  Its top is hazy and indistinct, as if fog is obscuring the lantern room.  Also, for a place that's supposed to be occupied, there's a lot of scaffolding, and three tents are propped up on the ground.  The sound of panicked shouts can be heard, with tentacles rising out of the sea thrashing against a longboat.
