Looking forward to happier times on Blue Bayou

The party continues their exploration of the lair of the Crimson Fleet. The first building is a temple to the Demogorgon, and up in the rafters monkey demons pounce on the party. The battle takes a troublesome turn when a monkey teleports away with Daria, and another with Rudy and Nesta. The party defeats their foes, even with the party separated. Ortho manages to recover Rudy and Nesta quickly, but must seek out the help of Mystic Z.

The party moves on without Daria and Vin, sensing trouble near, orders a fireball launched to the watchtower. Surprising the guards, and some party members, the fireball explodes with a resounding boom and the docks fill with Crimson Fleet guards. The battle is mighty, but the party finds victory.

Money, its a gas. Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash.

Arriving at the Minting House, the party takes a moment to prepare. Through the second story window, Daria and Nesta take out a handful of sleeping thugs. On the ground, Ortho knocks his way through the front door and the party enters the empty room. A cry echoes out as the one of the last upstairs thugs hears one of his buddy's life ending. Caught by surprise, the Minting House's defenses are slow to respond and the party makes quick work of them. The yuan-ti teleport in to continue the defense of the house, but are not able to gain the momentum to drive the invaders out. The party begins the fun work of looting and the grim work of body disposal. One of the yuan-ti reveals a map and the location of the Crimson Fleets headquarters.

Gathering information around town, and some quick knife work/field requisition work by Daria, the party gets a Crimson Fleet flag and heads out to the Crimson Fleet base that is about 11 miles northwest of Scuttlecove. Hoisting the flag, and arriving at the front gate, the party manages to dock. The harbormaster greets the Sea Wyvern, and upon trying to inspect the loot in the hold, is attacked by the party. The two deck hands fall easily, but the harbormaster is more than meets the eye. Ortho drops the fiend with a round of magic missiles and says, "Do I have to do everything around here?!?!"
