"Well, Sune hasn't called me in for a face-to-face lately, but I'm stronger than I've ever been and I'm surrounded by beauty everyday, so I assume that she still finds me to be in line with her ideals." As Carrhae talks about being surrounded by beauty, she gestures with her hands, clearly indicating that she's speaking about the three women with her.

Once Sloop finds the house, he has no trouble acquiring the package. A long, dark, leather case about the same size and shape as a flute case. It's secured by a small lock and has a weight to it.
Five years ago, a hermitage devoted to the contemplation of nature was established in an abandoned island fortress, once the site of a beacon meant to warn against invasion from the sea. The folk of the hermitage opened the island to people of all faiths, promising a place for those seeking solitude and peace. Named Firewatch Island, Saltmarsh has lost contact with the hermitage, and began dialog with the Belle Of The Sea asking for assistance.
Firewatch Island is a small island set between a populous peninsula and the mouth of a broad river. Its only feature of note is the hermitage built on the site of the abandoned ruin of its old fortress. The tiny island, 800 feet long by 400 feet wide, is a mixture of scrubby woodland and rocky hills. Three stony peaks rise above the grass and shrubs. The tallest stands more than 400 feet high along the southern coast of the island, while the other two are 300 and 100 feet high respectively. Aside from the hermits, the island is normally home to only vermin, rats, a variety of noisy birds, and various tide pool creatures.
The Saltmarsh council will pay you all now 2000g total to travel to Firewatch Island and find out what happened, and much more depending on what you find.
Carrhae allows the envoy from Saltmarsh to come aboard the ship and make their request. She doesn't feel the slightest bit uncomfortable about receiving an official message while wearing nothing more than a bikini, she was a follower on Sune, and Sune did not place a premium on modesty. And it's not like anyone ever asked her to cover up, anyway. "Yes, we would of course be happy to offer our continued assistance to the good people of Saltmarsh. We'll set sail for Firewatch Island first thing tomorrow morning."

Out of breath and shaken (not stirred), Sloop runs up to Erriviel and present the package to him. After handing it off, he bends over and places his hands on his knees, and continues to hyperventilate. "You package.....<huff-huff-huff>....sir....<huff-huff-huff>....as....ordered!"
It's quite obvious that Sloop got pretty freaked out by your "friend", Erriviel.
Carrhae spends the remainder of the day relaxing with her friends; taking in the sun, drinking mimosas, tickling Misha, telling stories and jokes, just generally having a pleasant time. But eventually, the sun comes down and they have to head back to their quarters to get some sleep. "Well, a day off can't last forever. Everyone get some rest, we've got a busy day tomorrow. I'll be heading down to the island with Kali, Sana, Erriviel, and Sloop." She stops a second, thinking of something before leaving. "Perhaps we'll be heading to Maui again once this is done."

Sloop feels the corners of his mouth start to turn up, but after a moment the feeling passes and all is back to normal.
”Was there anything amiss with the pickup?”
Sloop just shudders in silence, wide-eyed. Scared. He simply turns and runs away from Erriviel, who scares him just as much as the cloaked figure who he just met. Retreating back to the crows nest, he continues his required lookout.
AREA 1 - PIER AND BEACH AWAY TEAM A: Carrhae, Kali, Sana, Erriviel, Sloop
The Belle Of The Sea slowly pulls up on the north side of the island, at AREA 1. A short wooden pier extends out into the water, connected by a path to an open archway in the fortress wall. The pier is in good shape, with wooden pilings raising it well above the high tide line of the rocky beach. The area is deserted, with no other boats or people in sight. The call of gulls, the shrieking of crows, and the crashing of the waves are the only sounds.
Misha stood cross armed as the Away Team A walked off the Belle and approached the island. She was told to stand guard and make sure nothing happened to the ship. She would do what she was told. In the back of her mind, Taetanicus's vision was slowly beginning to trouble her more. If Misha had any concept of a Father, Taetanicus was the closest thing to it, and she trusted him. She was responsible for her training, her mentoring, and her discipline. While the thought of her deeds and honorable acts granting her a promotion in the Acheronian War Machine, the vision she had during it, and the warning Taetanicus placed in her mind was indeed troublesome. Doubt touched the corners of her mind as she struggled to accept the prophecy her showed her. She was startled out of her deep thinking when a truly enormous creature that looked like a stag with wings came swooping down from the blind side of the hermitage and was making it's way to the group.
DC 16 Wisdom (Perception) check: There are humanoid tracks leading from the waterline to the hermitage. DC 14 Intelligence (Investigation) or Wisdom (Survival): And, the tracks returning to the waterline
You can hear Misha from the ship yelling something to you all, pointing to the sky.
Kali is cool and doesn’t look at the sky and instead looks at the ground. Then looks at the sky.

A massive monstrous stag with huge horns and eagle like wings crashes to the ground in front of you all, hungry and anxious for it's next meal. It makes a horrible piercing noise and attacks.

Last to know and first to be blamed...
As a free action, can I regret my life choices?
Erriviel takes the package with a smile, unlocking it and pulling out a thin, wooden wand. He speaks before pointing it at Sloop, "Thank you, Sloop."
