Captain Aubreck Drallion – Human male, older, greying hair, downtrodden sea captain that calls the port city of Saltmarsh his home. A few years ago, Captain Drallion was a wealth commander of several ships, who had decided to transfer his HQ from the corrupt port city of Ember Bay to the growing town of Saltmarsh. While Captain Drallion was in Saltmarsh securing lodgings and logistical warehouses and such, the lead ship of his fleet, Emperor of the Waves, was lost at sea, along with all the captains personal effects (many he claims where property deeds & promissory notes worth up to 100,00o gp).

She has agreed to fund an expedition in exchange for the information of the Staff. Captain Drallion has offered 10% reward to the adventures of the total value of recovered goods from the Emperor of the Waves.
The adventures have agreed.

PLACES:

Sigil, city of Doors – Central city and possibly central plane to the Multiverse, depending on who you ask. A massive trade & manufacturing city with few natural resources, the city completely depends on the multiple portals (i.e. Doors, gateways and such) that intersect and congregate in the city. These portals go everywhere in the Multiverse, Prime material Planes, Outer planes and beyond. Some are stable, some are not. Most require Keys, some do not. Ruled by the mysterious Lady of Pain and her Dabius children, governed by aliment based Factions, inhabited by everyone and everything from Avatars of gods, to the strange hivemind cranium Rats, Sigil is one weird mindfuck of a town, berk.

Plane of Water - The Plane of Water is located in the Inner Planes and is the home for water elementals, cruel and intelligent creatures, an endless ocean, and ancient civilizations far below its surface. While typically thought of as an ocean, there are huge currents and expanses that are made up of freshwater, swamps and more. Finding yourself in the Plane of Water, while it is far more hospitable in the immediate term than other Inner Planes, is a dangerous proposition unless you have some way to breathe water.

Saltmarsh – A growing port town on the Isles of Dread in the Plane of Water.

The Wicker Goat Inn – the original Inn in Saltmarsh. 4 stories tall, white with dark trim. 2 large hearths along with a oversized bar manned by 3 bartenders and a massive kitchen, this place is very popular and capable to hosting large amounts of guests and offers live music.

Mariner’s Guild house – found in Saltmarsh’s dock/warehouse district, it is a large well built building that boasts large conference rooms, supple library and scholar crew, a member’s only tavern and sleeping arrangements for guild members.

Sea-grove of Obad-Hai – Open to the air and set in a grove outside of town, the sea-grove is gathering place for seagulls, sailors and swamp folk, as well as an information market for traders and trappers. Ferrin Kastilar (male halfling druid) a somewhat melancholy individual of middle years, tends to the shrine with his bullfrog companion, Lorys.
