Summary

In the midst of the battle, the storm rages and the Bonaventure is smashed against an ancient pier. When the crew regains consciousness, they've made it ashore with some survivors and no sign of the other ships.

Alek, the well dressed man, dreamed of the goddess Hanani giving him a gift, then was awoken by a fairy name Suri telling him the crabs were coming. He saw three Shore devil crabs coming to take him prisoner and Glorandal the ship's cook.

Glorandal, the mad bomber, awoke from being foot lifted, his last memory seeing the effect of a miscast spell comeing from the captain's cabin, awoken, he clawed at the sand and learned he could store up a ounce of material at a time, then proceded to unleast bombs on crabs

Takalis, plain and tall, awoke next, his last memory of swimming to shore and seeing others pulled under the wave by unseen forces, he found himself being tied up by what he immediately knew to be shore devil crab, and him without a safe word, then magic missiled and zapped them, regardless of who was standing next to them in salt water.

Ion,the unlucky, woke next and could remembered seeing a skiff survive the destruction of the vandal and members of it's crew swimming to it, then he began to kill crabs until one pulled him down to drag him off in the waves until it, along with ion legs were blown up by the mad bomber glorandel.

Garath wizardbane was woken by the sounds of bombs, and remembered some shadowy figure snatching up the captain into the air as he tried and nearly managed to turn the ship to ride a wave over the pier. He grabed the rifle from a corpse and as cleared the barrel and reloaded, he learned he could sacrifice his own blood to reload a fire with blood powder.

After killing off the crabs-

Able seaman willy mistook Alek for a officer, because of his fine coat, something the remaining members of the rapier brigade decided to go along with.

A set of survivors from the vandal was up on shore, a kobolt named Podoc suggested that castaways should work together after his gnoll shipmate, who can only say "we have your children" in common take a bomb to the chest for it

Someone was dragged off into the giant temple of Havani by the crabs.

The party entered the temple, killed off or drove off the crabs, rescued gillis the animal handler, and were warned by suri that this place had a Daemon in it.

This turned out to be a dire ape possesed by a deamon who started a offer to make a deal with the party which was interupted by Ion trying to kill a eight foot tall gorrila possessed by a demon.

The fight ended after Garath was cofused by a spell and shot tekalis in the face and the demon was finished off to fall on Ion with a warning that sometimes Daemons can jump bodies, even after slain.

The party found the doors in teh room warned of orc necromaners behind it so they instead skipped looting the daemon's lair and went up the stairs to find a group of goblin wearing stuff seagulls for hats in order to collect seagull eggs, and killed them, alerting the entire tribe of intruders.
