Something simmiliar happend to my group, and the campaign took a decidly darker turn. They found a journal detailing the location of the source of the pearls and continued on as the modules allowed but with no safe haven and no place to resupply, as noone wanted to risk a misstep on the t-port back to the mainland. Pirates captured the vessles they sent the survivors back on, so they had double the reason to go to skuttlecove. Now my group is finishing up EoME and Lavinia is a sullen destitute(The Dawn Councel ruled that the Vanderborn holdings be liquidated to pay reperations to those who died on farshore) ex-noble who is just trying to stop The plans Vanthus was a part of to try to restore what is left of thier family name. Also it should make Igiwiliv's (sp?) post path plans easire.
