Look to the east! The sun is slowly rising over turbulent seas, and you’re well on your way to the Slithering Coast. Yer here for a reason, lads and lasses: to find a nefarious naga known as Munarei. Word has it he knows about an elusive artifact that was lost at sea here months ago. Its previous owner was the captain of a ship called the Devil’s Deception, a cursed vessel that set a course through these waters and never returned.
Tessa Fairwind, one of the captains on the Pirate Council, thinks Munarei might know the location of Jalhazar’s Wheel, once the property of old Xirbal Jalhazar himself. Covered in skulls, it is. Ebony handles, it has. Grasp them, and ya might even hear the ghost of ol’ Cap’n Jalhazar whispering his secrets to ya. And if you’re lucky–or cursed, depending on which stories you hear–you might even feel his cold hands piloting that wheel, guiding yer ship to a fate kinder than his own.
But let’s not think of that, shall we? That tale sends a chill down me spine! Yer crew is facing greater dangers: A triumvirate of nagas watch over these waters. They’ve been locked in a chain of love and hate that goes back fer years. The three islands where these nagas lair form a triangle–just like the triangle that’s tangled up Munarei, Sarlis, and Sarlissa. Seems as though Munarei can never quite decide which of the two females he likes best, so he betrays his mate as often as the tides turn. There’s a chance one of ’em might have already sulked away in despair.
Now, yer not the first to drift into this drama. The natives ain’t too friendly, neither, doubtless because they’re sick of sailors searching for lost ships. Travelers attest that the natives have carved runes all over these islands, spells set to curse any who would dare approach their lands. Then again, sailors are always saying things like that. If you were scared of curses and monsters, Tessa wouldn’t have trusted you with an errand like this one.
And know this: You might not be the only pirate looking for that artifact. Keep yer cutlasses and cantrips ready, just in case.

Koren is going to start at the Beach.
We just need to know where Jirelle is going to start at - perhaps Widowmaker Isle to take on the ship for closing?
In any case, here is the initiative rolls:
Order: Jirelle, Ezren, Koren, Vika
I have also hit a small snag in that CardWarden only allows 1000 cards in a "box" and I've hit too many cards because I have the class decks in this for ease of use. I forgot that was a problem before I took my brief hiatus. I'll be fixing this today so it shouldn't stop us too long.
