Session 59 - Sail Away

After some delay, the recap!

I will level with you guys, the last time I prepped for this area it was years ago and nobody ever went there.

All I had scrawled down was "pearls", "mermaids?" and "fishing village/harbour fallen on hard times" alongside some notes about the magical lighthouse light being stolen.

You basically experienced the only things there were to see on the islands... FOR NOW.

Expect some changes (and a map) as I "discover" what the deal is over the coming weekend. Probably with children hanging off me since I'm up at my girlfriend's sister's (is there such a thing as a de facto sister-in-law?)

For Ollie/Lulu, I've got Lulu's bank account as having 500 silver (=10 gold) in it, is that right?
If it is, your sicckk interest is 9 copper pieces since you took it out.
