21 February 1111

Aubreck, an old washed-up merchant from Stillsquall approaches Freyrik about a “Salvage Operation”. Freyrik assembles the party, who agree they can go on this expedition and still return in time to visit the baron in “early March”.

22 February 1111

The party meets at the docks and boards “The Soul of the Winter”, a ship manned by a dwarven crew, led by Captain Wolgar Windrune. He runs a very tight ship and demands the party remain below deck (along with Aubreck) during the two-day trip.

23 February 1111

Still searching for “Emperor of the Waves”.

24 February 1111

Find “Emperor of the Waves”. Her masts are missing and she is listing slightly. A pair of dwarven sailors ferry the party across in a launch. The ship is boarded. A Huge Monstrous Centipede and many spiders are encountered. The party digs out a blocked passage to the lower decks, finds Aubreck's missing cargo, and manages to escape just as a Giant Squid attacks the ship. As they flee, a half-orc shaman of some sort emerges from the lower deck, but the party leaves him to go down with the ship…

25 February 1111

Arrive back in Stillsquall at the end of the day.
