Chapter 1: The Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh

The small wooden box holds twelve candles, flint and steel, and a piece of parchment that details a method of communicating with a ship.Map

Hm....This might be useful. Chulainn hands the paper off to Margot to show the rest of the group. He continues rummaging through containers, next being the wardrobe.

A fancy floor-length oilskin coat hangs in the wardrobe. Its sleeves contain numerous pockets (empty), and it is trimmed in iridescent green silk.

The books on the shelf are: A volume of erotic poetry (fully illustrated), a naval almanac listing tide times for the area of coast around Saltmarsh (a total of one hundred miles of coastline is covered), and a treatise concerning the demigod Iuz and its minions.

He'll search the footlocker too.

This is what you found in your search:
-- Shelf: Has three books, listed above
-- Wardrobe: Oilskin coat
-- Wooden Box: Twelve candles, flint and steel, and a piece of parchment that details a method of communicating with a ship

Eshe turns to Lucan, Pong, Sobek and Margot, and agrees. "We should honor the dead then carry on?" She turns to Chulainn and speaks. "Interesting findings. Let's look into them when we get back if you don't mind."

Again, how long is that going to take? If Sanbalet and his mates feel like their life is in danger, they're going to cut and run and we're going return to an empty house. Can't be more than a few hours before he finds out about his minions out there, if he doesn't know already. Chulainn points out into the hallway.

Fine.... lets burn this place with the pirats in it and then get Terry out of here. There is a detachment in his voice

Lucan looks at Chulainn. You know this place. Where are they, how do they get in and out? Can we lock them in and burn them?

Chulainn takes a step back. What? No! We're not goin' to burn anything. Does anybody else have a problem with what he's spewing? He's insane. He quietly puts his hand on a dagger, fearing retaliation from the pyromaniac. I don't know much more about this place than you do. All I know is that we have pirates to deal with properly and securely. Burning this place down is madness.

"Forgive him. He has lost his brother....as we all have. Perhaps we can hide his body here and return for him once we are leaving." Eshe looks to the others for some kind of consensus.

Lucan wraps Terry's body in a cloak and cleans his face. Silently he speaks to Terry
I am so, so sorry, brother mine. I swear to you and Trithereon that I will end those pirates and bring you home to mom. You were annoying sometimes, but I still love you. I don't want you to be dead

Chulainn stops holding his breath when Lucan exits the room. That works for me. He says to Eshe. What about you guys? He looks at Pong, Margot, and Sobek.

Eshe, more somber and moody that usual, moves on to inspect the room to the east. "Stay alert." She cautions, trying to muster all the stoicism she can.
