We tell them to meet us back at the Rock, leaving Sendara in charge
2 days pass as we are heading back to the Rock. (day 6)
At the end of the 2nd day, we see a whaler disappear as the last whisp of day disappears.
The whaler seems to be sailing against the wind.
At dusk, we hear the bell, clear against the sound of the wind.

Next day is also uneventful.
As the sun sinks, a thick bank of fog descends.
A ship's bell again rings, but seems close. The hull of a ship looms from the fog, off the port bow. Ruined with age and rot, its name can be seen from the Fiend: Deathknell.

Longwhisker recalls that Whalebone Pilk and his crew sail the sea, to look for victims, stalking his prey for two days before striking

Hanu teaches Molach the Attack trick

Session ends at 20,250 xp
