Episode Summary

Deceiving the Captain about the lack of treasure is one thing, but surviving a storm is a whole other problem.

Episode Notes

CW: Thalassophobia/sea storms/risk of drowning. If this would be triggering for you, please skip 35:22 to 42:34. As always, your safety and enjoyment are important to us.

Realizing they need to give the crew a reason to avoid the rest of the island, the group decides to deceive them by claiming dangerous creatures live beyond the beach. Elaith poisons Trix and even pokes them with a fork, the trio pretending Trix has been poisoned by a snake. Rou carries them into camp, the party putting on a big show to convince Captain Lucy. They present the dissatisfied Captain with the compass and coins, claiming they set off a trap that caused Trix to get bitten and that the rumors of other treasure were merely lies.

The party helps to repair the ship over the next two days, doing their best to prevent further discourse with the crew. The day they prepare to leave, they notice the Captain seems nervous. When Rou questions her, implying the storm on the horizon might be the cause, she denies it. As the day progresses, the peaceful journey soon turns into a deadly fight for their lives when the storm arrives.
