Episode 1: Three bells and all's well

The Story Begins:

Recruited by the attractive, young Lady Lavinia Vanderboren, the party is to investigate trouble on her father's ship the "Blue Nixie" and try to locate his signet ring. The party is offered payment (200gp each) when she is able to get in to the family vault.

Her parents recently passed away, and left several large debts to be paid. Lavinia urgently needs to get in to the family vault and pay the debts, and that requires her father's ring which was hidden somewhere on the Blue Nixie. The harbormaster has impounded the ship, and the man guarding it, Soller Vark, refused to acknowledge that Lavinia ever made the payment to free it.

Full of gusto, the party arrives at the pier only to find the ship moored 100ft from the end of the pier. Sneaking up to the ship, the party makes a rapid assault on Soller Vark and his guards. The paladin Vin guarded a boarding boat, in case the party needed to make a hasty retreat. Soller's lover Marie managed a narrow escape over the side.

Just as the party established control over the main deck, a scream bellows from the hold...

If I have fogotten anything, please let me know. When I get the message board running, I'll post this and the transcripts out there. I think the Teamspeak and OpenRPG worked out well.
