where the pcs come in…

On the way to Hornswoggle Port (by land or by sea) the PCs hear rumors of the two shipwrecks and their treasure hoards. If the PCs inquire about passage to Razor Ruin Reef, no sane captain will agree to endanger their ship on such a voyage. But the quortle, Ellshy Snapper, is no sane captain! Ellshy offers the PCs passage to the reef, in exchange for a 60/40 split of any treasure they find. She tells the PCs they'll need a way of navigating the Razor Ruin Reef outside of the boat. Luckily she has just the solution: Shellmets, helmets made of whiffer turtle shells that allow the wearer to breathe underwater for an hour at a time. She asks to meet at the docks just before sunrise the following day.

ELLSHY SNAPPER

An old sun-cracked quortle with a busted up skiff that barely floats, Ellshy is known among the pirates and sailors of the Scalawag Strand as a wily smuggler and blockade runner. Traits: Schemer, impatient, cracks wise. Motivation: Get rich without doing all the dirty work.
