The diverse group of aspiring adventurers:

There is No Honor
The diverse group of aspiring adventurers: • Veras, a druid from the marshlands living in the Sunrise district, secretly a member of the church of the whirling fury. • Julio “El Tiburon, an academy educated bon vivant, ladies man and troubadour from the noble district, an aspirant to the Dawn Council affiliantion. • George, a simple monk with brain addled from to many Gladiatorial combats from the Champion’s District walking the path of Zelkarune’s Horns. • Saltwalker, a half giant whaler from the Azure district trying his hand in the Arena. He is partnering with George in Zelkarune’s Horns. • H’rm, a mysterious figure hailing from the Seekers living in Shadowshore. Individually they all receive notes to meet at a noble house for a job. They meet Kora Whistlegap major domo of the house. As they are ushered in, they brush by an arrogant group called the Jade Ravens on the way out (Tolin the Ranger, Zan the rogue, Kaskus the druid and Liamae the sorceress.)

Lavinia explains that her parents were killed in a tragic fire and she has been thrust into a seat in the Dawn Council. She is trying to get her affairs in order and wants to hire the adventurers. Currently she need to get her ship, the Blue Nixie out of impound at the docks. It contains her family’s spare signet ring and she desperately needs to acquire it.

The party accepts the task and investigates the docks. They find that a ruffian named Soller Vark has kept the docking fees and impounded the boat. The Blue Nixie was not where it belonged, it was anchored out in the harbor. The party acquires a cheap rowboat and goes to investigate.

They find it crewed by cut throat smugglers. A fire breaks out below decks and a brash Saltwalker is slain by by a bizarre giant insect creature (a rhagodessa.)

Upon searching the Nixie along with her signet ring they find the ship full of exotic creatures and cryptic note listing several monsters.

Lavinia is ecstatic they succeeded but saddened by the death of Saltwalker. She has called upon an acquaintance from her days at the Academy to bolster the ranks of the adventurers. Cameron is actually an old friend, co-conspirator and rival of Julio. Hailing from the noble district he is the black sheep of the Kellani noble family an was actually raised in part by the Knowlern family, an elven enclave. He has been known to skulk around the Dawn Council currying favor but bears a shadowy allegiance to the Witch Wardens.

Lavinia confesses she needs help getting into her families vault below Castle Teraknian. She has never been there before but now she has the signet ring so she should be able to enter. Her usual body guards the Jade Ravens are off getting assistance from her aunt and uncle in Caldron so she would feel safer with someone to accompany her to vault.

The vault is decorated with the symbol of the Seekers. A steel snake guardian construct attacks but is thwarted when Cameron hides behind Lavinia and accidentally make the guardian back down.  The party the used the note form the Nixie to crack a combination code. Found ledgers and treasure, but a lot had been stolen. The clerk’s logs confirm that Vanthus had been accessing the vault regularly.

Lavinia confesses that her brother, Vanthus, is missing. She wants to find out what happened to her brother but is afraid her has fallen in with a bad crowd.

Vanthus has been seen with his girlfriend Brissa, a shady local artist. Found out he last seen with a smuggler called Penkus at a boat shop called "It still floats!"

The party finds a guy named Shefton who said he will lead the party to Vanthus but he looks totally untrustworthy. They follow him to Parrot Island. Vanthus traps them and murders Shefton. Beneath Parrot Island find the Hungry dead and Penkus’s body. Note says Vanthus trapped Penkus here to elevate his position in the Lotus Dragons an upcoming thieves guild.

After escaping find out that the harbor master has been murdered, something is afoot.

Lotus Dragons keeps sending assassins. Got map of hideout from one of the assassins.

Posed as priests of Kord / Professional Wrestling squad checking on stuffed Jaguar to gain entry to the Taxidermist’s Guildhall that is the front for the hideout.

Assaulted the taxidermist Nemien and bullied him into keeping quiet. The group stumbled into some guards and set of the alarm. They retreated into some rough caves to wait out the alarms. While exploring the cave they are set upon by blood thirsty ixitxachitl who spring upon George when he is abandoned in the water but the rest of the party and torn to shreds. A single flower floats to the surface and marks his watery grave. Picked up a pair of kobolds, one a prisoner (Irl) and another the cook (Churtle.) Traitor in the ranks named Kersh, claimed to be a prisoner
