The party agreed to Captain Carr’s proposed split of the loot from the Brinewolf and from the diving expedition to Mother Merrow’s caves. Upon reaching the atoll known as the Serpent’s Teeth, the ship encountered a smaller keelboat whose crew offered to guide the Seafoam into Freeport, in order to avoid damage to the larger vessel. Captain Carr agreed, and Captain Fletcher soon introduced you to Freeport itself.

A small band of ruffians attempted to shanghai the party on the docks, but fled when their efforts were rebuffed. Brother Egil, a cleric serving the local Scriptorium of Tinel, approached the party with a job offer, and they agreed to meet him at the Indecipherable Scroll after attending to Moth and Captain Fletcher.

The group met the fallen captain at the temple of Harrimast, the Pirate God, in the Temple district. Father Peg Leg Peligro, High Priest of Harrimast, agreed to raise Moth for the price of the spell, discounting the cost of the diamond material component as a reward for returning the Eye of the Dragon Turtle. While Captain Fletcher was saying his goodbyes, someone used a spell to break into the secret chamber beneath the temple and steal both Eyes of the Dragon Turtle. Father Peligro divined the location of the gems, a blasphemous temple situated beneath a warehouse in the Docks district of the city. The party set off immediately to recover the gems again.

The group entered the warehouse after Chow set off a trap opening the front door. Three cultists attacked, but were slain without much trouble. A trap door disguised as a crate allowed access to the subterranean temple complex. A small demon of some description attacked the party at the base of the ladder, but the group drove him off. The party then heard and followed some creepy chanting coming from a large cave further down the underground tunnel.

About a dozen cultists in yellow robes surrounded a low, bloody altar upon which rested the Eyes of the Dragon Turtle. With a few well-placed spells and rapier thrusts, the party made short work of the chanters and their leader, but not before a hideous, unspeakable horror manifested upon the altar. The summoned aberration attacked the party and the sole remaining cultist, but was dispatched within a few rounds. The group looted the temple, returned the gems to Peligro, and bid the late Captain Fletcher adieu.
