We've been lucky to have eight weeks of relative quiet since we repulsed the invasion. It gave us time to tie up some town improvement projects that had been neglected in the rush to prepare for the fleet.
We also recovered the wrecked ship Foniko and restored it back to its former glory. This brings our burgeoning fleet to a total of 3 sailing vessels. This will be extremely useful as we are just a couple of months away from the official opening of the trade route.
We also trekked through the jungle and came across the ancient ruins of the lost village of the Olman. We had information that an important idol might be located there but , after dispatching some disturbing wights, we were unable to locate it. We did find Olman cultural artifacts that we returned to Farshore amidst rising excitement. The townsfolk seemed a bit in awe that we had found the village which had been lost to the mists of time. It still makes me feel awkward because in Truespeak the word elthliss, awe in common parlance, is uncomfortably similar to elthlisst...fear.
We just met with Lavinia Vanderboren, who handily won the mayoral election. She spoke of whispers and rumors that are running through Farshore that say her entire line bears the touch of infernal corruption. She also told us of a vital situation that requires immediate attention, else the future of Farshore will die unborn.
Apparently, the pirates have enlisted the services of an enormous dragon turtle. This beast destroys any vessels journeying in or out of the region that does not fly the flag of the Crimson Fleet.
We are to find the beast and establish protection for our vessels in exchange for a regular "tithe". Failing that, we are to secure the passage by any means possible...
