Thunderbolt and lightning, very very frightening (in real life).

The party is at the lighthouse, on the Stale Whale, a vaguely ship-like entity made out of wood.  Captained by Captain [[npc:Captain Stonefoot]], who has against all odds and laws of physics, kept the party safe and sound through the dangerous waters.  The island is about a mile off the coast of Neverwinter and about 3 days north of Neverwinter.  Or, if you're Captain Stonefoot, within a day's travel somehow.  Because the wood is made of lighter wood, which is totally how this works.  The party has the three smugglers, [[npc::Bell Maire]] and her two assistants [[npc:Minard]] and [[npc:Chalkie]].

Captain Stonebeard asks for the next port of call, and the party suggests Neverwinter, only to be asked by the smugglers if their quest to rescue the crewmen from [[npc:Captain Argrash]] was somehow forgotten.  But the one quest is on the way to the next quest, so [[pc:Claire]] relents, so long as her rapid aging syndrome is still taken care of in time.  The smugglers suggest the party be presented as **new smugglers** so they can then assassinate Captain Argrash.  The party takes a long rest

**Meanwhile...**
The quest did not go as expected.  The Sauhuagin raid does not go as plan, and Jim does what Jim does, and Jim-bob is dragged into the depths and the ship is sinking.  Stranded at sea for about a day, a "ship" appears upon the horizon.  The high elf and warforged are rescued, and [[pc:Thorfin]] gets very disparaging about Acquisitions Incorporated's chance of success and fatality rate.

The party continues on a little bit more.  The Captain is asked for some tales of the deep sea.  He regales the party with a tale of how he was transporting a group of adventurers to Neverwinter, and a ship appears on the horizon, and it turns out he is describing the party's recent adventure.  Thorfin asks, barring this trip, how long he has been on the sea.  "Barring this trip, I've been on the sea almost all my life."  Thorfin is suspicious.  "A couple years ago, I was told I had an incurable disease, and I found a new lease on life.  Or possibly a new lease on a boat.  I've been boating about three years, every third Sunday, and most recently been boating every day since I was kicked out of my home (for the past three months)."

Over the horizon, another ship appears.  It looks to be a very large raft - a building on top of a raft with very large barrels.  It has a sign on top, "The Magic Mystical Magnificent Magnificum McCormick."  Stonefoot drops the anchor rock, and a very thin man with a wide mustache and hat appears out of the door.  "HellooOOoooo, and welcome to my shop.  I sell many a wide wond'rous thing."  He has a chest of mystery, it produces items from a realm of chaos and randomness.

Boom B0-X takes part and find a nice pair of boots inside.  Boots of the Ringmaster.

Wraq goes next, and it somehow turns into two boxes.  Inside the one she picks is a quarterstaff of charred burnt wood.  Quarterstaff of Embers.

Our new elf goes next, and a lance is produced - a Lance of Sparks.

Thorfin pulls out a crossbow - a Slowing Light Crossbow of Triumph.

Nalla tries his luck and... womp womp, just a regular light crossbow.

Claire pulls out a chain shirt that has a tag stating it is a "Shitfuck" which then disappears.  Claire then pulls out a pair of gloves, "The Stout Fortitude Gloves."

Stonefoot also tries his luck, and OOH, he pulls out a club, "Vampire Club."

Also, everyone gets a healing potion - be sure to tell your friends about this!

The party approaches the caravel, the Tortured Tortle.  The party is put on a lifeboat which SOMEHOW exists, and approaches.  Aboard the ship, Captain Argrash interrogates who the new people are, and refuses to delegate hiring decisions.  So, the party starts a mutiny.
