The adventurers are identified in the airship turned tavern the Talisman by the Tempust city priestess Alyson Rivers. She collected them and asked them to journey together as she has noticed the spark of adventure in them,  she stated that by helping each other they will be helping themselves reach their goals. After introducing themselves they tentatively agreed and Alyson then left to let them converse.

Trouble then came to Tempust when the Tengal warship Javanvashir dropped anchor in the Tempust Docks. The first mate, Taazhon, and some of her crew entered the Talisman and after some searching noticed that the town drunk, Johias Ilum is the man they are looking for. They announce that Johias is worth quite a bit. The players witness the exchange and it perks their interest but they do not attempt anything in the bar. Captain Zahkijin of the Javanvashir is later witnessed arguing with the town Magistrate Cyrik de Deagla over Ilum's fate and it seems the Magistrate loses as he is forced to place Ilum in the town jail. Unknown to the adventurers two other passengers traveling aboard the Javanvashir disembark and secure cabins aboard the Talisman: a female Tiefling researcher and her Gnome manservant. The players talked to Ilum in the local jail and he requested that they find a powerful artifact that he came to the island looking for located under serpent hill. He stated that the artifact was the key to his freedom. The adventurers set out to fulfill his request in hopes of saving his life.

After leaving the town they journeyed in the direction of the hill a half days walk from the town. They encountered a small band of kobolds seeming on patrol and later some insects that have taken over the kobold camp in their absence. They finally encountered serpent hill and discovered some skeletons guarding the tomb.

Player notes: Johias Ilum seemed to recognize Bree (Joey). Magistrate von Zarkyn was witnessed as being unhappy to throw Johias in jail. Aella (Hava) was given a trinket box that Alyson told her would open when she needs it most, after inspection Aella saw no way to unlock it. Bree (Joey) was afflicted by a curse that caused him to grow a thick 4 inch beard.
