 The party returned to Morgan's to have lunch, where a young woman was ordering tea from the proprietor, [[Morgan Wallister|Morgan]]. After she introduced herself to Burt as [[Tammra]], she spoke with the group and told them that she was, in fact, a witch, which she knew was not looked upon well. While this was going on, [[Cymbre]], another of Tycho's companions, returned from a journey to [[Hanmer]], having not been able to accomplish either of her unnamed goals, which had her irritated. She joined the other four as they questioning continued, and eventually they told Tammra they would get back to her as well.
-While Burt was rejecting other applicants, [[Kapalina|another woman]], this one tall with pale blue hair, entered. After introducing herself to Burt as "Proslulý", she was brought over to the group. She presented herself as a water elementalist, and got involved in some verbal sparring with the group, including introducing herself to Samuel as "Nádherný". This was interrupted briefly by the arrival of a very loud applicant named [[Brik]], after which the newcomer demonstrated her talent by casting [[Gemidan's Icicle|some kind of freezing spell]] on a distant seagull. She, too, was told they would get back to her, after Tycho directed her to stay at [[Eira Cutler|Widow Cutler]]'s [[The Cozy Cockerel|inn along the shore]], and she joined Tammra at a nearby table.

 The tall, hyperactive fellow returned, this time with Brik in tow, to make another attempt. While Burt was forcibly ejecting him from the pub, an elf made his way to Tycho's table. Introducting himself as [[Argendt]], he offered his services as an information-gatherer. After his interview, Tycho asked Burt to inquire about him with his sources in [[Thieves' Guild of Gascar|the local thieves' guild]]. As this was going on, SkyLyte returned, carrying the dead seagull, and dropped it on the table in front of the elementalist, earning an icy glare.

 Bill told Tycho and his companions of his encounter with the attackers and it seemed their description matched that of the sea zombies. However, Blueberry wasn't entirely convinced as some of the finer details didn't fit with the zombies' behavior. Poluch tended to Bill's injury, and the group returned to the main hall.
-The holy warrior introduced herself as [[Osha]], a lyan dedicated to [[Mastepha (deity)|Mastepha]], and quickly noted the chaotic nature of several party members. Still, she agreed to let some of them speak to her charge inside. Cymbre, Tammra, Viensa, and Drax met the priestess, [[Emeny]]. She told them that she and Osha were bearing [[Ateena's Eye|precious cargo]] from the tip of [[Neptune's Triangle]] to a temple being built Mentemar for the temple when their ship ran aground in the previous day's storm. They sent two others off to Mentemar for help, but when the creatures attacked, the captain was killed attempting to defend the ship's launch, which was destroyed with the other boats.

 Watches were set and the group settled in for what they hoped would be a good night's rest. The first watch was quiet as Tycho, Cymbre and Sam discussed the deployment of "another resource" while Poluch and Viensa prayed. In the middle of the second watch, Argendt found the lanterns on the boathouse had gone out. As he went back to the main building to get some backup, he heard splashing in the water, and raised the alarm. Tycho worked at lighting a torch as the rest of the group came streaming out of the main building. The sound of banging was heard from the direction of the beach and the group broke up into two parts as they headed toward the beach to determine what was causing the noise. Cymbre led the way followed by Blueberry, Poluch, and Viensa from the north while SkyLyte, Sam and Tammra approached from the south. Argendt remained by the rear of the main building waiting impatiently for Drax to don his armor.
-SkyLyte moved along the southern side of the boathouse after a brief pause to confirm the plan with Tycho when she was overcome by a severe bout of nausea. Sam and Tammra also felt nauseous as did Tycho. As SkyLyte finished retching, she lifted her gaze to see a humanoid figure rounding the corner of the boathouse in the light cast by her gauntlet. A battle ensured and when it was over, the group found Emeny dead, Osha unconscious, and the precious cargo was nowhere to be found. Osha, once revived, explained that the temple in Mentemar could not be consecrated without it, and left to begin her search. The party then parted ways.

-After a brief interlude, a well-dressed gentleman approached Burt. After demonstrating his skill with a throwing knife, Burt went to Tycho and told him he had heard about this fellow through his contacts, and to be wary of him. He was introduced to Tycho and his party. He gave his name as [[Wyndel al’Amar kaf’Daro]], and indicated that he was a merchant who also had some other adventuring skills. He told of his hope that he might establish some business dealings in the area. Tycho offered to help him meet his mother, but also was a bit perturbed that he was staying at [[Rilee's]], a noted hangout for the seedier elements of society run by a shady figure known as "[[Rico Tortugo|The Turtle]]". Wyndel reassured him that he was there simply to wait for an incoming shipment of goods, and was sent on his way.

 After meeting more applicants, Tycho and his comrades discussed the recruits they'd seen. Although the tension between SkyLyte and the elementalist was noted, and the concerns about Argendt and Wyndel were also brought up, it was decided that the group would accept all of those applicants along with Tammra.

 == The "shakedown cruise" ==
-The next day dawned stormy. Tycho, Cymbre and Drax discussed their final thoughts on the newest group members over breakfast. Burt informed them that Argendt checked out, but Wyndel had had more contact with The Turtle than he let on. They decided that the first mission should be, as Samuel put it, a "shakedown cruise" to make sure that all of the group members could be counted on. Tycho had messages sent out to the new recruits inviting them to his mother's home to get to know one another a little better.

 As the housekeeper, [[Isabella Valentino|Isabella]], prepared dinner, the group gathered in a sitting room. SkyLyte pulled out a [[alignment detection dagger|magical dagger]] to make sure no one in the room bore evil intent, which caught Tycho's attention. When challenged, SkyLyte admitted its purpose, which ruffled the feathers of several of those present.

 The group gathered at Morgan's and shared their information. They were soon joined by [[Poluch]], an Elven priest of [[Vodyus]] who had arrived in town during the storm, and he was invited to join them. He and Viensa went to visit the temple of [[Liyyera (deity)|Liyyera]], where the latter had been staying, and were able to obtain three vials of [[holy water]] and an aspergillum. SkyLyte flew north to make a map of the area going up to Netty Cut, and the rest of the group retrieved their equipment and met back at the Cockerel.
-After Tycho got some additional information from Shanka, Argendt let him know that his contacts had spotted a man with a lantern walking up the coast the previous night, which may have been the light SkyLyte had seen from the air. As SkyLyte again scouted north, intending to fly ten miles past the village this time before returning, the rest of the group then set out for Netty Cut.

 As the group traveled, they again encountered the wild-haired troublemaker, who appeared in their midst, although he left again quickly. After walking about five miles, Argendt, who was scouting in the tall grass, heard movement, then spotted something large and red ahead. As he ran back to inform the group, four [[giant crab]]s emerged from the grass and advanced on the party.
