Gwen sings a ribald tune...
One night in Scuttlecove and the world's your oyster,
The bars are temples but the pearls ain't free,
The Crimson Fleet hides and waits in every cloister,
If shadow pearls break you'll be a zombie,
Vin can feel a hand moving up his knee.
Rudy scratches, Daria sharpens, Nesta floats, Hjalmgerdr drinks, Ortho snores, and Nualla looks longingly at Vin.
-----
The Red Foam Whaling building is dark, the intrepid adventurers search for a sign of Harliss Jarvel's presence. Moving into the dock-side area of the warehouse, Rudy and Daria lead into the room. Suddenly more Yuan-ti assassins appear behind them and begin attacking. As melee ensues, and the rest of the party enters the room. A giant Yuan-ti appears next to, what appears to be, the body of Harliss Jarvel. The battle goes on, Vin takes a clobbering and Rudy takes the beating of his life. Barely able to stand, he mutters, "Is that all you got?" Harliss stands, turns into a succubus and flys at the remainder of the party. Ortho brings down the large Yuan-ti with the commensurate "Do I have to do everything around here?..." Fighting on the party prevails, and discovers elsewhere in the warehouse, that Harliss has been moved to a place called the Bird Cage.
The Bird Cage's reputation is that of a place that information can be extracted from individuals for a price. After the party bursts into the main hall, the fight is on. Three twisted Sisters of the Lamentation swoop in and attach with blade and song. The fight is quick, and without so much as a raised glance on the street. The party has taken the bird cage.

Gimme all your money, all your loot and booty too... (Goodnight sweet gnome)
The party quickly pursues Khala to the entrance of the old Olman temple. The wastrilith that had been guarding the entrance had changed places with Khala. Khala was now at the entrance recuperating, as the party moved in to attack. Without the demon-aspect's attending skulvyn, the party directs all their efforts to overcoming the resident evil. It's gaze and touch debilitating, Khala strikes out against the party. During combat Vin notices that Nualla is ever-present at his side, watching and guarding his flank. Eventually the party is victorious, and having purged the temple of evil, lays to rest the trouble spirit of Noltus Innersol. Nualla, no longer bound by her oath of service to Noltus, open vows her service to Vin. Vin is suprised, and a bit taken aback, but Nualla is firm and resolute to follow Vin's path.
Returning to Farshore the party discovers that a terrible event has transpired. Earlier in the week, something crawled into (or out of) Vanthus' grave, taking his corpse. Days later, foul minions of the Crimson Fleet assaulted the town, burnt down Vanderboren manor, and kidnaped Lavinia. The Jade Ravens have already taken the Blue Nixie and headed out to Scuttlecove, rumored headquarters of the Crimson fleet. Vowing to rescue Lavinia, Vin gathers the party and teleport to Sasserine. Meanwhile, Captain Spanky aboard the Sea Wyvern, sails speadily to Scuttlecove.
Arriving in Sasserine, the party begins shopping for supplies and recuperating for their next journey, Rudolpho discovers that the Vanderboren vault has been broken into, its door smashed and hewn. Rudy nearly pops when he finds that the vault completely empty. Rudy beats his fists into ground and screams, "They took MY MONEY!!! Bastards!!! NOOoooooo!!!" Cobbling together their remaining resources, the party raises the necessary funds, gathers supplies, then teleports to the Sea Wyvern. During the travel Rudolpho has a dream, Harliss Jarvel tells him that Lavinia is being held by the Crimson Fleet in Scuttlecove and she knows the location. Harliss says to meet her in the "Red Foam Whaling" building.
The party arrives in Scuttlecove discreetly, and begin to scout out the town. Arriving at the Rusty Shunt, the party gauges it to be a safe place from which to operate. As they wander around town they are assaulted by two Yuan-ti assassins. Gwendelyn falls to an assassin's blade, and somehow Ortho survives. The assassins are no match for the party, and the yuan-ti corpses dropped behind a building.
Arriving at the Red Foam Whaling building, the party explores the building. Harliss isn't in the first group of rooms, and the party discovers something that looks like a nest with a small shrine to the Demogorgon. The next area opens into the docks, the party steps in to take a look...
