The party learned that the Dark Rider had ridden toward Illmarsh, and they set out in pursuit. They headed down the old road and made camp overnight. After a few hours on the road the following day, the found a vessel in the lake speeding toward a stone quay with a man running frantically to and fro on the deck. Tigris and Nyssa flew to the boat and helped him avoid a crash. They discovered his name is Horace Croon, some kind of inventor who has created a subaqueous exploration and research vessel. After realizing the man is a bit eccentric, they continued to Illmarsh.
In the town, they found the Walleyed Kraken tavern and had a drink and some fish with owner, Laurel Sills. They then headed over to the Bountiful Catch Inn where they met a standoffish man named Rube Dreeley who gave them the best dump, er… room in the house for a mere overpriced 3 gp per night.
The next day they were accosted by the sheriff and escorted to Mayor Greedle’s office. They spoke with the bizarre man for a while, and he finally divulged he suspects some local disappearances are due to the priests at the Hall of the Recondite Order of the Indomitable Sea. The party set out to investigate. Within they found four priests who were very displeased to see them!
