The main part of the party in Mended Horn is wrapping up a matter at an Abandoned Whaling/Sealing station... somewhat. Virgin Flame has made her return and is celebrating with exercise and tea after recovering an important marble statue head and vanquishing several amoebas in the process.

"Ze zijn een beetje een vergelijkbare afstand. Het oude dorp en de vuurtoren. De vuurtoren staat op die heuvel, langs de nok van het midden van het eiland tussen de noordelijke baai en de zuidelijke baai. De vuurtoren staat langs de kust als je hem rechtdoor volgt. Het ligt op een voorgebergte in de richting van het water."

"Bedankt."

"The lighthouse and the old village are at roughly the same distance from us. I recommend going to the lighthouse first, as knowing the coastline will give us an advantage and might let us spot the enemy freighter."

Should we wait for the other party members to be present before proceeding with scavenging items and discussing the next course of action? I don't know who's online now but everyone should get a shot at it.

We should probably go to the lighthouse first because it's on higher ground, that way we will be able to see smoke/fire that the Marines built to keep warm if they're in the town.
The lighthouse probably has provisions and comm equipment in it, and the Marines would know that. They would be predisposed to go to an official building for refuge, and as Marines their standard protocol would be to make camp on the highest possible ground when in contested territory.

We could just roll the check for what we find, and then appraise/count the loot after we finish the mission. No real need to count shekels now.
I would like to get started in the lighthouse search tonight.

Ostensibly, any loot will be a result of individual search checks that can be freely allowed (within reason, so taking a 10 or rolling 10 times) and where progress could be stalled until all players weigh in individually, if GM doesnt mind

Silver: "There were many notes left behind in your village. Some in Ponish we could read, others in your native languages we could not."

Silver gives the white griffon the notes they've collected.

Actually, now that I think on it, wasn't at least one of the griffons injured before they encountered them, or at least was covered in blood?

Cavaliere follows suit, and gives the notes he had stowed away in his backpack.
"Pardon the intrusion on privacy, but when we came across your camp it looked abandoned. We read your letters to better understand what happened."

And yes, they had stab wounds.

The yellow one is described as such, but the white one has visible blood stains as well.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this means that its been confirmed that the captain remembers fuckall but put the crown on, went eldritch crazy,... involuntarily.
Does Brie need to roll a check to connect that the crown may have mind controlled the captain possibly without it even being in his possession?

He found a cursed crown, and put it on because that's what people do when they find jewelry.
Then it mind controlled him.

"The bottle... Olaf probably dropped one. Or hid it maybe. He tried to hide his alcoholism. A gun? Maybe that was Ingerstadt? I missed that part.

Yes, several of us are wounded. I've been stabbed... I think what happened was... the wounds were chilled and dried with salt to stop the bleeding."

Brie can ask in-character if he wants, the other PCs all have a pretty good idea from the letters they read.

I checked and his name is Egerstadt.

The wound seems mostly competently handled for now. It could use more pressure though, to make sure that the wound coagulates and does not come apart as they move.
