There sure are a lot of ruins here... Athnul thinks she'll stick with the group as Siwar was a pretty helpful person to have around in the last place.
She starts to poke around, and pretty quickly finds a Blessing of the Gods under a rock. That was a nice start!
She uses the blessing to guide her and it takes her to a large puddle surrounded by stones. Wallowing in that puddle, struggling to survive is a Giant Jellyfish. Interesting choice, blessing.
She uses a bizarre combination of fiery fists, Siwar's song, and distracting it with her shiny crown. The jellyfish is thwarted but not gone and it retreats.
She has another Blessing of the Gods handy, so she thinks, what the heck, might as well see what else is out here.
What else is out there is a rolled up scroll, soaked in the poison-y water of the puddle.
It looks icky, so she decides to pass. Her fists are the money makers, no sense to risk them in all that poison.
She takes that as a sign that maybe she should stop.
She stopped on a poison dart trap, but evades it easily. Instead it hits the hallway in the perfect spot to crumble to the ground around her. Great.

Rest doesn't last long, with ruins still collapsing!
Korundo avoid collapsing walls, but not want to stay any longer than necessary, skipping past room with possible treasure and . Alas.

Nok-Nok hangs with the party. Will likely take advantage of bardwords.
First thing to look into is the Hull Damage on the raft. This is up an alley that Nok-Nok doesn't own.
: Success!
The raft is in good shape. Nok-Nok sends the Rotgut out to investigate. There are some chomping noises, Nok-Nok draws his Galvanic Chakram +1 and attacks the approaching Tiger Shark.

The shark is cut to little bits.
Nok-Nok tries to find a place to rest. Must do some balancing.

Salim then turns just in time to see a fin cut through the water. He keeps a careful eye as the fin tracks around them and intercepts the Tiger Shark as it leaps at the party.
Defeated, banished, heal 1 for victory.
The Captain's Cutlass lashes out, and the shark falls at their feet. "Dinner is served."
Failed.
Salim unfortunately slips in some of the blood, and whacks his head on the ground spoiling the moment.
Ouch, reveal lockpick shield to reduce by 2, discard lockpick shield and Mysterious Disk to soak the other 2.
Just before blacking out, Salim realizes he recognizes this place and that he thinks there is some treasure nearby. He mentions it to Siwar as he goes down.

Since the first set of ruins are basically secured, I decide to follow Korundo over to Location #2: Ghol-Gan Ruins. On route, we run afoul of some Jagged Shoals; fortunately, one of my specialties is getting people to work together.
Once we make our way past the shoals in a Raft, I have to pick myself across the rocks to the second set of ruins - in a pettycoat. I really need to get some new clothes like Athunl if I'm going to be adventuring like this. I whisper a prayer for the Blessing of Erastil so navigate.
On my way, I notice a Rat Swarm not doing particularly well in the water. Callous as it may be, I do nothing and join up with Korundo.

Everyone is leaving me? Well fine, I can take these ruins on my own.
Athnul sits down in a bit of a huff, which turns out to be a good thing because from this angle she can spot a Icy Boarding Pike +1
She not really sure what to with it--maybe stick the pointy end in people? She experimentally tries a couple jabs and snaps it in half against a rock. Gonna stick to fists...
Fortunately that poke was all the place needed to start crumbling into dust. A few large chunks of things hit Athnul, but between her Ring of Wavewalking and a Blessing of Gozreh she withstands it all.
As she crosses her arms to survey a job well done, a small rat tries to bite her. She squishes it. Ew.

Salim decides to tag after Nok-Nok to see if maybe he can keep him out of additional trouble. However not long after arriving at the latest outcropping of Ruins, Salim is interrupted in his search by an old crusty pirate. Salim attempts to strike up a conversation with the man to see if he's heard of where a tower might be located.
Success, acquired
The two get to chatting and the Old Salt happens to have a bunch of useful advice and offers to come along for a while.
As they are are about to depart, a Giant Jellyfish near the shoreline reaches out to strike at the pair with it's long tentacles.
Defeated, banished, heal 1 for victory, draw 1 for Grave Tender.
The Melted Blade lashes out, piercing the Jellyfish and deflating it like a balloon.
That threat dispatched, Salim heads further into the ruins and is immediately aware of the fact that this would be a perfect spot for an ambush.
Salim recognizes the hand of divinity with his spotting of this ambush, glares a bit but strikes out to take out the Sea Cat hidden in the shallows.
Defeated, banished, heal 1 for victory.
The Melted Blade lashes out, skewering the Sea Cat as it leaps to attack. With a quick flick he unsheathes the blade. Salim and Nok-Nok sit down for some pan fried catfish.

As Nok-Nok and Salim seem to be having some boys time at the 3rd set of ruins, I decide to wander over to the 4th. Hopefully, Athnul or Korundo will join me so I can augment their own talents with my own. I'm still a little jumpy about being nosy given our experiences, so I decide to use my magic to do some Object Reading and peer into the future.
Oh, okay. It's that kind of ruin. Ghosts, ghost bartenders, and ghost drunks. I can deal with that. I saunter into the ghostly bar and start singing, hoping to bring the brawl to an end and bring peace to the trapped spirits. After a few songs and a little magic, I send these spirits off to their final rest.
With a whispered prayer to Abadar, , I call everyone over to deal with the Sandbar.
Since everyone is hear, I look them all over and decide to cast a Cure on Athnul. I can't tell if she's grateful or annoyed, so I make a mental note to ask her later.
Instead, I try and focus on the task of getting off this sandbar without falling into the water or hurting myself. Alas, I stumble and fall, wounding my knee and my pride. Oh well. Wine helps both injuries, and I have everyone here to share it with.

Athnul is a little grumpy to have been called over to help with a Sandbar that Siwar had under control... sort of. But then she gets that nasty gash on her leg healed up and she's feeling a lot better about the world.
In fact, this cramped little room is more than it appears at first glance. It seems like there might be more space here than meets the eye...
She calls Siwar over and together they examine a tattered tapestry. Siwar convinces Athnul to put on her Ring of Wavewalking and just punch it, so she does--and finds that it was an Illusory Wall. She's a big fan of this whole punch your way out of puzzles strategy.
Turns out all the was behind the wall was a Heavy Crossbow, which she tosses aside for later.
Athnul's Teamster friend comes back with a scroll he found. Is this interesting at all?
Nope, that's just some guy's bar bill.
Without looking she casually dodges a large rock tumbling down from above. No big. It does squish a Blessing of Gozreh though.

Nok-Nok hikes back to the other Ruins (#3).
A Longbow taller than the goblin is easily spotted amongst the ruins. Nok-Nok doesn't usually go out for that kind of ranged combat, but he tries to pick it up anyway.
. Good enough. Nok-Nok folds it up and stuffs it into his pack.
Nok-Nok is still paranoid about losing the Balladeer's song, so that's the end of this look-about.
. Not quick enough.
. Nok-Nok will recharge two cards to cover that.

Salim heads off after Nok-Nok, figuring if nothing else, he might still have remnants of dinner left there.
Unfortunately, his dinner seems to be no where in sight. Scanning around he climbs a nearby rock and looks over the area.
Success, Banished, examine top card and see monster, free explore!
Salim quickly realizes it's a good thing he climbed this rock as is able to spot a swarm of rats heading for Nok-Nok. He rushes to cut them off.
Defeated, banished, heal for victory.
Like a dervish, Salim jumps into the swarm, cutting his way in and out of the densest part of the swarm until it falls apart.
Salim is about to call it for the night when a cry rings out form the ruins regarding a fire. He's confused, but rushes towards the cry and doing his best to dose the flames he finds.
Defeated, banished.
Grr, could block 3 and protect my weapon but not 4.
Sweaty, soot stained, sore, and missing the Melted Blade, Salim opts for a bit of a break before continuing to explore this particular part of the ruins.

Hours are wasting away, and as much as I'd like to set up a place for us to rest, we just can't spare the time. Still, others might be in worse shape than I, so I conjure forth a magical Safe Harbor at the 4th set of ruins. But rather than avail myself of it, I decide to get us set up by heading to the 5th section of the ruins, hoping Nok-Nok and Salim have the 3rd covered.
Just inside the ruins, I find a discarded Pistol +1. I'm not much of a shot, but I decide to see if the thing is in working order. Alas, the gun is jammed and I don't have the skill to clear it, so I toss it into the ocean.
Suddenly, the ruins shake as if in an earthquake, and I curse this place for the third time. I manage to keep my footing, but I hear a horrible honking sound from nearby. Investigating, I see the tremor cause a section of rubble to fall onto a goose, crushing it. Since I still have PTSD from the last time, I don't feel too bad about this goose.
I sit down, toast the departed goose, and have some wine. Hopefully someone will come along soon to share it.

Athnul hears humming coming from the fifth ruins section and follows the sound. As she gets closer it sounds more like... slithering? A Constrictor Snake tries to wind its way around her.
She punches a Fiery Fist at it and the snake drops lifeless to the ground.
Athnul's Riftwarden bends down to examine the snake, and pulls a blood-covered scroll of Safe Harbor out of its mouth.
No way Athnul is touching that.
As she prepares to take a break, she notices that the floor is beginning to crumble. She leaps away as the rocky ground caves in. Conveniently it also seems to have buried a band of thieves who were planning an Ambush.

Salim has the ship's surgeon patch him up a bit before continuing forward.
Testing the bandage, he thanks the man and heads off into the ruins. After an extended search, Salim eventually comes on a scroll tucked under a stone. Prying it up he looks it over to see if it might aid the group.
Failed, banished.
Unfortunately, it appears the scroll has already been used and someone just didn't feel like throwing it away. Salim wads it up for fire kindling for later.
All avenues having been checked, Salim does his best to emulate Korundo and knock some stones over to close off this route.
Success, closed.
It's a mighty strain, but his muscles hold out long enough to roll a boulder or two across the way without collapsing. In the shift of the rubble, Salim realizes he's opened up another path that leads to the tower they were looking for.

Athnul sees a Tower rising up from the ruins. A storm quickly moves to surround only it and then subsides. Seems likely that's where Siwar is...
A Cutlass +1 is hanging over the entrance to the Tower.
It falls to the ground and shatters, nearly hitting her as she walks by.
She uses a Blessing of the Gods to find something interesting, and it leads her to
a group of drunken sailors trying to throw knives to knock apples off eachother's heads. That is not what she meant...
A knife comes at her but she punches it out of the air, monk style.
I'm rubbish with knives, and end up cut and bleeding from these entertainments.
The knife throwing pirate is stunned. He wordlessly walks over to Athnul and puts an Amulet of Fortitude around her neck in recognition of her feat.

Salim heads heads towards the tower also noting the storm in the distance, but it seems likely it won't be there for too much longer.
Just before arriving, he spots what looks like it would be a sandbar. However that shouldn't matter for a tower on land. Never the less, he feels compelled to mark out the bounds of it so other travelers can avoid the hazard.
It seems silly but Salim takes pride in his work and shortly after he starts, the task is complete.
Not too long later, an Old Salt wanders by and points out the pointless nature of marking out a sandbar on land, and that if he really wanted to be useful that he should follow him to a treasure. Salim decides to help the old man out and do some digging, it sound like such a nice diversion he invites anyone else along who is bored.
Success, banished, acquire - Archer's Bracers.
The old salt points out the location and using a little knowledge/engineering, Salim rigs up a decent shovel and in no time has the treasure uncovered. Inside are some magical gear. The Old Salt shares a bit of the bounty with those who were willing to assist.
Salim packs the Archer's Bracers away figuring he should be able to sell them if nothing else.

Nok-Nok is incapable of finding treasure via treasure hunts.
Turn 25 under the Blessing of Besmara...
Time grows short, so in spite of the risk, I push forward up the Tower. I find a suit of Magic Leather Armor that must have been discarded by one of my friends ahead of me. I figure I'll try and grab it. It's heavy, but I toss it into a pack and drag it up the stairs.
I decide, rather than pushing further, to just catch up to my friends, rearrange my packs, and support the team. So that's what I do, taking a moment to cast a Restorative Touch on myself first. A little wine, a little magic; together, they have me feeling great.

Athnul is standing in the tower and watching the Storm move away and that reveals some Jagged Shoals. Which is apparently a problem... somehow...
Athnul shakes her fist at them and they... uh... stop being a problem.
Now that the shoals are less shoaly, the Tower finds itself Becalmed. Which is also apparently a problem...
Or not. Turns out it's totally fine for the Tower to stand in a place with no wind.
Tower secured.
Korundo is baffled by the Treasure Hunt.
