The group rowed back to the beach with the impaled skeletons. Suspecting further traps, Chow fashioned his whip into a remote trigger and cleared the path to a secret door in the eastern wall of the cave. The secret door opened into a small hallway with a wooden door at its end. As the group opened the door, a low moan emanated from the small chamber beyond.

The moaning continued until the ghostly figure of a pirate captain rose from the floor. The apparition, presumably Black Dog himself, pointed his saber at the party and bellowed a threat of eternal damnation. Gor-bob, unimpressed with the spectre’s taunt, stepped into the room and turned the undead pirate. As Black Dog cowered and hissed in a corner of the room, the rest of the party began dragging chests out of the chamber. When all the chests had been relocated, the party dispatched the spectre without much trouble.

Chow took some damage from a trap on one of the chests, but the party opened the rest of them without incident. After they had loaded up Black Dog’s famous treasure, the group boarded the rowboat and headed back to town.

When they arrived in Freeport Harbor, the party finally saw Milton’s Folly in all its glory. The scaffolding had been removed, revealing the massive white marble bulk of the Lighthouse gleaming in the morning sun. The harbor was choked with an amazing number of ships and boats of every description, but the area around the Lighthouse was kept clear by a patrol of four Sea Lord cutters, each brimming with marines.

The party returned the rowboat and checked in with Thuron/K’Stallo at the Scriptorium of Tinel. The High Priest thanked them for acquiring the Jade Serpent and the other artifacts of his faith, and gave them some suggestions on how to use the Serpent to disrupt whatever plans Milton Drac had for the crystal in the Lighthouse. The group discussed their plans in that regard, settled on a method for getting to the Lighthouse before the lighting ceremony that night, and holed up to gather their strength.

After sunset, the party slipped inconspicuously into the harbor and made their way underwater to the Lighthouse without incident. Rather than forcing their way through the large double doors, the party elected to climb through an archway twenty feet up the wall. After a few moments of reconnaissance and whispered discussion in the archway, the group’s scouts were spotted by one of the guards on the floor below. A running battle ensued, with most of the party still outside the walls of the Lighthouse.

A few minutes of confused fighting later, the party had defeated nearly a dozen cultists and a trio of summoned vipers.
