Adventure 5 - Tides of Dread

The party arrives at Farshore to discover it is under attack by pirates. After aiding the colony's defense, the party is reunited with Lavinia Vanderboren. She tells them of her own troubles at sea, and of a new problem facing the colony. A pirate captured during the attack reveals that he and his mates were merely scouts. The Crimson Fleet knows of the colony's location, and in approximately two months, they will arrive in force to take what they can and burn the rest.
Before this happens, the party is called upon to do what they can to prepare Farshore for the attack. Some of the tasks are handled quickly and localy, but the most important missions take the party to the mainland of the Isle of Dread, where they need to forge alliances with the native peoples, secure access to natural resources, recover and repair the Sea Wywern and even face down the physical manifestation of an ancient Olman god. The party is rewarded by the aspect of Zotzilaha for returning the golden bat idol. They may choose a magical item from the shrine's treasury and also take with them a non-magical tooth.
When the Crimson Fleet arrives, they circumvent several of the party's defenses and succeed in reaching the village itself. During the battle, a couple of Vrocks succeed in their demonic dance and take out a lof of Fashore's defenders. The party is forced to retreat. In a final encounter, the Jade Ravens come face to face with Lavinia's brother, Vanthus, now the half-fiend captain of a Crimson Fleet ship. Upon his corpse, the party discovers a black pearl similar to the one they found split open on board of the Slippery Eel in Kraken's Cove.
Yet help comes from an unexpected corner as one of the pirate ships turns upon it's comerades. The rest of the pirates, leaderless and bereft of their most powerfull allies, takes this as a sign to leave Farshore. The remaining Crimson Fleet ships escape with the Sea Wywern. After the battle, the treacherous Crimson Fleet ship The Brine Harlot, sails into Farshore harbor under a white flag.
