Story

• Summer and Danny are brought on deck to be whipped for being remiss in their duties, by Jezekiah.
• Jezekiah instead accuses the Captain, the 2nd Mate, and 3rd Mate of colluding against the crew, poisoning the food, mortally stabbing the steward, and of being redcoats on a mission for the King of Brittania. He sends the crew below deck to search the 2nd Mate's room for evidence.
• Li jams the lock to prevent the crew from getting in and convinces them to leave.
• Summer asks the cabin boy what's going on. He says the 1st mate sees and hears everything, so he doesn't dare speak. He then compliments Summer on her scent.
• The crew returns above deck and Paul Carver the crewman that was once whipped by Jezekiah for complaining that his seasickness prevented him from climbing the rigging, now demonstrated complete support for Jezekiah's cause. His eyes are glassy and crystal blue (used to be brown).
• The party goes along with things, though they are suspicious.
• They spot Perry drifting along the ocean on a dinghy. He's taken  aboard by the 2nd and 3rd mates who warn him that his timing was bad. He's thirsty and hungry, and just happy that he's been found. They take care of his hunger and thirst, and he explains that his former ship exploded. They note that he has a large leaf-shaped imprint on his armor, with small holes (and a bony barb sticking out)...he doesn't know how that happened.
• Jezekiah wants to put the officers on a whaleboat with some provisions and ship them off. Li, Summer, and Danny recommend just hauling the boat behind the ship instead, to preserve the provisions. Jezekiah agrees with them.
• The party is brought below deck, to the new Captain's quarters. Jezekiah makes Samuel 1st Mate, Danny 2nd Mate, and Summer 3rd Mate.
• He instructs Samuel to finish casting the rituals (that the 1st Mate shouldn't actually know about). Samuel casts the food locating ritual.
• They go above deck and Jezekiah announces his new set of officers. Summer tells the crew to get to work.
• The look out spots dolphins, and the whole crew springs into action, excitedly lowering the whaleboats.
• The party accompanied by some crew mates, goes after the dolphins, and get a couple good bids on the creatures, when a large form is spotted below them by Li.
• The ship that had only minion-crew on it, panic... and splash clumsily away from the creature who promptly bursts out of the water and attacks, sending most of them sprawling into the water.
• The party maneuvers the boats to surround the sea wyrm, Summer stabs past the creatures scaly defenses and sets up the group to attack viciously should it attempt to move away. It takes a solid hit from Perry, and as it tries to get some breathing room, the party pounds on it bloodying it quickly.
• It thrashes it's massive body across the group, terribly injuring most of them, then bites down on Perry, and after a struggle swallows him.
• The group quickly finishes it off, freeing Perry and a considerable amount of loot that was trapped within it's body.
• The party finishes their expedition and capture a handful of dolphins, and tow the sea wyrm back to their ship.
• The deck is covered in it's viscera, blood, and gore. The slaughtering work is a messy affair, but sea wyrms are tastier than some bitter weevils and sea biscuits.
