Session 1
GMs: Throndir and Lance
Players: Isaak, Zultar, Maeve, and Wolfrin

Synopsis
The players are introduced to captain Snark and his first mate Mr. Dorf who tell them of a need of bodyguards for their shipping trip. They met a particular wizard from their client who was chosen to protect the cargo, and along with the other crewmen, had met a mute wind wizard named Delly. The captain himself did not know what they were shipping but eventually the party agreed and soon they were off. On their first night, Zultar had noticed Mr. Dorf 'taking a leak' into the seas, but thought nothing of it. On the morning after, they were told that another ship was closing in on them, and sometime that night if they kept at their current rate, the other ship will catch up.

Wolfrin had suggested they slowed down to fight the other ship when it was still day time. For their preparation, Maeve had attempted to teach the crewmen the basics of hand-to-hand combat, but completely failed. Isaak had attempted to teach them how to use their crossbows, but failed at that as well. It was only Zultar with some help from Wolfrin that they managed to teach the crewmen how to swing a sword.

Soon enough, the other ship had closed the gap and immediately arrows flew from the enemy ship. They were being rained full of arrows, and due to their poor training, the party's crewmen were not able to really fight back. Once the enemy ship as close enough, Wolfrin used an entangle spell to bring both ships side-by-side. And shortly after that both sets of crews were locked into melee.

To their surprise, Jin, another member of the guild appeared, though instead of figuring out why, there were instant hostilities between some of the group. A short scuffle with Jin and Zultar, but afterwards were primarily between Isaac and Jin.

Once the enemies were dwindled down, most of them unconscious and dying, the opposing captain yelled for their princess back, and told them that this would lead into war. The fighting soon slowed and stopped, with captains on both side figuring out what was happening. t this time Maeve had disappeared, looking for their 'cargo' which was suspected to be the princess. Their first mate Mr Dorf as well as the client's wizard was gone as well.

Behind a closed storage compartment was eventually where Maeve ended up, along with the two others who had barricaded the door, as well as incapacitating Maeve.

Session 2

The party quickly noticed that Maeve, the wizard guardian, and Mr. Dorf were missing, so they quickly went below deck to find them. When they arrived they were greeted by walls of ice which the party eventually managed to take down but were hurt in the process as they passed through the icy cold barriers. Eventually the knocked down the doors as well and they found themselves confronted with the wizard and Mr. Dorf. As the party worked on the walls of ice, Maeve broke free of the ropes they had used to tie her and began to attack the wizard. A scuffle broke out, ending with a near-death wizard guardian fleeing the scene and leaving the guild members. They took Mr. Dorf into custody, and upon searching the cargo hold, they found a jar-like contraption holding an unconscious lady. Maeve soon freed her, and brought her to the captains. It was the princess of Lorule kingdom, and once she had woken up, the captain decided to hold a feast. Unfortunately when they came to prepare the food they realized their stores were raided...

Session 3
As the party was eating. They heard a loud blast, and as the party went up to investigate realized the ship was burning, and they were being attacked by an enemy vessel. They quickly hatched a plan, and ha Zultar drive the ship, Maeve would cut the two ships free, and both Wolfrin and Isaak would distract the opposing vessel. They fought valiantly as their ship was being torn by cannon fire, but eventually Isaak was downed by a fireball from the opposing wizard. The ship was falling apart and Zultar kept running the ship to the left. Soon enough Maeve had the ships freed from each other, and the party escaped on one of the life boats. Zultar, Captain Snark, Mr. Dorf, and Jin however went on a different life boat. They took their ship straight to the enemy vessel, while the princess, Maeve, Mink, Issak, and Wolfrin took their lifeboat to escape further from the battle between the two ships.
