Undead Threat
The party is woken up by sound in the distance. Jaheira investigates and sees a a group of undead patrolling the area. Using stealth and guile the adventurers get close to them and attack. One of the three huge zombies almost goes down to ranged fire. Close combat is engaged, Bicilis, Elnaril and Ian holding the front line against the huge zombies and two other zombies full of worms, while rest of the team pounds the undead from range. The enemies are dispatched and the party collects a live worm and the head of an undead monster.

An ominous silence spreads across the land near the city. The local guards remembered a similar situation a few weeks ago before a huge thunderstorm. It seemed to be focused only on the island and ships could move without problem. At the manor Ian presented the worm and undead head to Lord Serin. He could not contain his revulsion at the sight but was scared of the possibility of an attack. He allowed Xavier to look at the books his mother collected. Two books one on transmutation focused on shape-shifting and the other on divine magic and a Cult pf Selune stood out from the rest. Elnaril helped out and between the two of them discovered parts of the Ceremony and Augury ritual(1/8 of each) and a parts of the Magic Circle (1/8 part). At the mention of the Old ones and any involvement of his mother Lord Serin did not respond very well. Bhog tries to convince the lord to lend them a boat to go pearl hunting, maybe a very fast one The party leaves the manor.

Back at the inn Bicilis asks if he can find a squire in the city but Minby has not seen one, maybe on another island. At the temple Timothy gets his herbs back and could identify the jars of herbs as vary valuable spices that can be sold. Xavier asked about the notes he got from the book on divine magic of Salune, but Timothy said he did not recognize the writing. The adventurers noticed this as a lie and continued to question him. Xavier went into detail of how own knowledge of cults and the views around them of other people. Finally Timothy agreed to show them something, he closed the doors and cast a silence spell. The inner sanctum of the temple was opened and the adventurers entered. Inside Timothy showed he is a werebear. He was the one that has hidden lady Erliza after her "death" - she is a Vampire but has managed to resist the urge because of her divine soul, the source of her magic. Now she resides in a cave - the entrance is next to the docks.

Meeting Lady Erliza
Finally a lead to the location of the woman under the red sea. Xavier raced to the location but his companions stopped him because it was in broad daylight. So a distraction was made by Fulgerica, Bhog and Ian while Xavier and Elnaril ventured under the water. Soon they found the trap door and entered an underwater cave. The lady was in one of the chambers. The adventurers told her the situation and she decided to help, but she could not come out of hiding or use her powers.
