Angelica and I were scouting out the swamps East of the fair town of Briatain to see if the Shabooli and/or Branubians were in the area when Linder approached with the following news:

I was just on my way to Britain with some disturbing news...
A bit troubling I'm afraid
I have learned that the Sisterhood is up to no good That evil coven of witches has been developing powerful new magics. I am afraid what might happen if they are not put down I was on my way to find some hardy souls to do just that!
I am afraid I am too old to venture on that terrible island, but, I can lend one of you my staff. It might be of some help It is a powerful weapon but it would only aid you for a limited time, then it is enchanted to return to me
Remember, it will only aid you for a couple hours at most.
Find out what new magics they are preparing. Take it away from them if you can! I will seek you out later and consult with you. Good luck!

With Linder's departure we made haste to Britain bank and relayed the news to those present and sent out an invitation to come to those who weren't, the turnout was fairly small but as it turns out we were adequate to the task.

The expedition to Bucaneers Den included Angelica, Dan, Azzo Ranar, Albert, Jim Greenfire, Strade Silverbow, Amanil Tel'Imoen, Ryan Wood, and myself. (I hope i didn't miss anyone, please post if I did.)

Azzo gated us to Skull Island and summoned his ship so that we could cross over to the docks of the town proper, around this time I received a mind-to-mind message from Linder suggesting that we search the town first, and having no other plan did just that.

Along with the normal inhabitants of the area were an unusual concentration of Sister's, a couple groups of them cause some difficulties but nothing we couldn't handle, at least until we got the northern most point of the town, there were a large number of sister's and 2 Ancient Dragons, at this point the group wound up splitting as the Ancients seemed to have a mind to both attack the same target, and this was the only way to get them to separate, it is also here that the expedition had its one death, Albert went down bravely after incurring the wrath of one of the dragons and being unable to get out of its way in time. Shortly thereafter the town was pacified (a condition that is not likely to last long), and we gated to Britain to discuss the events and examine the spoils of the outing.

The only noteworthy items were 2 coven cloak's, both powerful items affecting intelligence, one affecting invocation, and the other necromancy. From discussions with Linder, these are the magics that his sources were warning about, and that hopefully the knowledge of how to make them perished with the Sisters we had killed.

Also Linder's staff was returned to him, as it was probably of more use in his hands than in mine.
