And so our team of adept material asset acquisition experts left the not all that inviting city of Elric's Bay after proceeding with a plan both risky and rewarding.
The party composed of daring types like Mikkail, Auron, Gadenze, Regie and many others stole the ship of the orc pirates pillaging throughout the place.
It so turned out that the vessel, in spite of its condition being far from desirable, was hauling a hefty load of dragonshards worth 25k GP total on the open market - well above what Gonvirn expected to be contained inside the safe of Malrick's which was ultimately never found.
The vessel, aptly named 'Rickety Rakarak', was barely able to bring the party into the safer waters of Dragonport as the orcs did at best a patchwork-level repair job at fixing leeks and other bits. Repairs are a must should its owners be willing to use it again.
