The session started off with the group having just survived the belly of the Kraken. The Kraken was in hot pursuit of another ship just as they killed it, and as it died they floated up to the surface on the makeshift rafts they had told the others to create. The crew, along with Reese and Harbin, were picked up by the ship the Kraken was about to attack.

After getting their bearings on the ship, they discovered it was lead by a tiefling woman named Captain Neyola. Her crew were pirates, although they had a relatively small ship and not a ton of crew, but enough success to get by. Captain Neyola had a small gold coin that she would constantly flick, and user her inner tiefling power to briefly light it on fire as she did.

Lunashe, Beorn and Khaelis went to talk to her, and found her coin flipping to be hypnotic, as if she was trying to use it to enhance her conversation skills. They started to bargain with her, but she kinda low-balled them on what she would give for saving her crew from the Kraken. Eventually Khaelis made a grab for the coin, which caused everyone to draw their daggers and threaten each other.

While that was happening, Erevan befriended a pirate and gave him an apple, which the pirate was grateful for. Erevan and Shalara also managed to get all the Kraken goop cleaned off of them, and were by far now the cleanest members of the crew.

Klon convinced Harbin that the Raven Queen had saved them (which was sorta true), and he went off on a crusade to recruit others to the order. Once the daggers were drawn, Klon diffused the situation with Thaumaturgy and Neyola invited the group to her cabin to talk.

In her cabin, she explained that another pirate Captain name Oswan had struck a deal with her, and after she fulfilled her side he ghosted her. He was able to parlay his position upward, and now had a much bigger ship and crew, and she wanted revenge. Her crew wouldn't have been able to take his ship alone, but with the team involved they stood a decent chance. In exchange, she offered to fly under their banners and forward them some of their profits.

Lunashe noticed that a piece of the urn was around her neck, and when he inquired about it, she revealed that it was a 'cursed' piece of jewelry that all pirates from Corsair's Cove had to wear. Corsair's Cove was a nearby pirate-haven, and the piece of the urn, once attuned with (requiring ~3 months of wearing) allowed the wearers to sense other pieces of the urn nearby. It basically meant the pirate captains could all keep track of each other, and stay away, as well as know when betrayal is coming. The pirates were clearly playing with magic that they didn't understand, but the group convinced Neyola to remove her piece and give it to them, and agreed to attack Oswan's ship.

The attack of the ship went spectacularly. Beorn went full assassin's creed off the back, Lunashe dropped into the chaos as a Giant Scorpion, Erevan conjured a giant force wall that stopped all cannon fire, Klon went full black metal with wings and flew into the lower decks, Khaelis threw a pirate overboard causing and entire level to surrender, and Shalara basically murdered a dozen pirates with an insect swarm.

Erevan found another piece of the urn below decks, and the group captured Oswan, recovering his piece as well, and surrendered him to Neyola.
