Saltmarsh 23: Thunderstruck

Jasker takes armor measurements from the party, and Dora instructs Jasker and Kayle in combat. A bronze dragon attacks the crew in a green fog, and Velaeria wild surges, knocking Malcolm unconscious.

Synopsis
Malcolm has another dream about Lex, and at breakfast Kayle tells him about bard college and his plans with Hannah. The Harbourmaster hires Vel to investigate a strange storm off of Jetsom Island, and Dora purchases a book and carpenter’s tools. Jasker takes armor measurements from the party, and Kayle tells him about his life. The next day Dora instructs Jasker and Kayle in combat while Malcolm and Steve work on cantrips and knots. Later, Jasker confides to Kayle his interest in Dora, Malcolm messages Garon to sell his shop, and Steve warns Vel that he smells something “dangerous” ahead.

Velaeria sees strange green clouds in the distance, and encounters a lightning damaged ship. Bastille scouts ahead and the Siren’s Call proceeds into the putrid smelling cloud. A bronze dragon appears and attacks the crew with lightning, then takes the form of a humanoid knight, warning that they must turn around. Velaeria panics and casts frostball during a wild surge, which knocks Malcolm unconscious. Kayle revives Malcolm, Dora turns the ship around, and Malcolm carries Vel to her room.
