The team bashed open the doors into the pirate lair and moved inside. They were quickly attacked by three reeking putrescent shamblers. The creatures carried a fast-acting plague of horrific proportions in their claws. Several of the party were infected, but the shamblers were quickly brought down. Some antiplague and potion of remove disease resolved the infections.
The group explored the chamber a bit and decided to investigate the ship. They learned more shamblers lurked on the vessel, so they started checking out doors around the chamber. There was a large stone door with a lock they were unable to pick. In trying, though, Goshik was cursed with the black spot!
The party looked around and found a pit filled with undead dogs! On the floor in the back lay an old key. Goshik hit them with a fireball and then flew out over the pit and was suddenly snagged by a jumping dog! It pulled him to the floor and the pack tore into him. His allies jumped in to save him and found themselves under attack as well. Valetin summoned a celestial ape to aid his allies and then jumped in astride his dog. The group took down the dogs and then healed their wounds.
With key in hand, they went to the stone door and found the key was not to it! Frustrated, they went to another door and found a winding stairwell. Suddenly, a ghostly pirate appeared and tried to shove Reth down the stairs!
