Sky runs towards the boat, but comes too late to do anything about the departure. Instead she throws another torch as far in the direction of the small vessel. There is only the slightest chance it catches, she knows that, but having another undead necromouser under the Captain's command will not be good for any of them. So she at least tries to intervene.

Afterwards they will have enough time to hunt for any treasure there might be ...

Bay is overwhelmed to see that they have managed to save Blossom!

Bay runs over to the mice children and squats down to talk with them.

She checks them out for any wounds, tries to treat any she does find, and promises them that she will do everything she can to make sure they get back safely to their adults. She just ignores the captain and Filmon as they sail off.

The first thing she'll do after this scene is help the children back to their homes, then she'll search for any treasure with her friends here at the manor, see if there's anything they can do to help the ghost, and then off for more adventures with her friends. Maybe Gideon and the organisation he is part of will offer them more exciting things to be getting up to?

Some general notes about the story
OOC:
Mr. Filmon and Captain Mortimer would disappear to potentially show up in another adventure. Although, Mr. Filmon's life isn't going to be very pleasent as part of the captain's crew.

The treasure is/was hidden in the old tree. The ghost's father thought it would be a good place since it was infested with centipedes. He didn't think anyone would go snooping around in there.

Much of the treasure is melted or destroyed. However, the adventurers would be able to recovery quite a bit. Three items are magical which would be randomly determined by each player.

Unfortunately, the ghost is still a ghost in the manor and the way to release him from his predicament is unknown. However, the ghost isn't particularly sad. It loves playing tricks on people who come to the manor.

Gideon would officially extend an offer to the mice to join The Arcane Order of the Curious Mouse. He becomes the official guest giver, but he isn't particularly good as his job. It's a mysterious as to why he even got accepted in the first place.

There is no difficulty reunited the tied up mice with their families.

Ahhhh thank you for that summary @SpiritualSocket.

I find that a very satisfying end to the adventure - and I particularly like that we're set up here for a potential sequel with Filmon and Captain Mortimer!

And I find the idea of a source of follow-up quests from Gideon a nice touch :)

I'm curious about how the people with the medallion fragments came across them, who fragmented them, and why - if that is established/canon.

Thank you all again! This is the first ever PbP game I've played in to completion! And it felt like a real success!

With his newly acquired magic chest, Mr. Filmon tricked the ghost inside. Once inside, he slammed the lid shut. To make sure it stayed locked, Mr. Filmon broke the medallion into six pieces. However, as his previous night's guests lingered over breakfast, Mr. Filmon absentmindedly left the medallion pieces on the table. Mistaking them for souvenirs, the guests pocketed the pieces and used them for their own purposes.
