Venture-Captain Jalden Krenshar sent the Small Timers to the criminal city of Riddleport to seek a sextant hidden in the pirate haven of Bloodhull. They believed the sextant had a secret compartment holding a map and journal fragments. A pirate had read part of the journal before losing it in a card game. He claimed the map led to a lost chest that could contain books from long-lost Thassilon.
The team rowed boats out to Bloodhull, and Elsbeth wild shaped into a rat to look around. She was spotted by two Hook Crooks pirates who decided a rat would make a fine meal. They gave chase, but she slipped into another room through a hole in the wall. While several of the pirates got stirred up looking all over for the rat, Elsbeth found the sextant (and the map!) in a chest. She wild shaped into a raven and flew off with it to reunite with the team.
The party then hired Captain Jioti Frank of the Victory to sail them to the island on the map. The first night out, a full moon rose over the calm sea. As the light shone down, one of the new crew members transformed into a wereshark! Much to their horror, Kyras also transformed… into a werewolf! They recalled him getting bit by a werewolf the previous month!
Elsbeth bravely took her wolf and went toe-to-toe with the wereshark while the rest of the team focused on Kyras. Their former friend tore into Goshik and Reth until Valetin used smite evil and hammered him with divine power. Gretchen climbed the stairs behind Elsbeth and began enhancing her abilities with spells like heroism and bull’s strength. The team decided against trying to cure Kyras of his affliction. Instead, they killed him. Meanwhile, Elsbeth defeated the wereshark!
The team did not have time immediately to mourn the loss of their friend, because in the fray, Goshik accidentally set the sails on fire! As the blaze roared, Valetin communed with this deity and managed to summon an elemental of water to put out the flames!
