FlashbackSearching

Party was a bit light this week so Tony flashed back to happier times while being sitting, cramped, in his box waiting delivery, thinking of the day he found The Artefact (tm).

...([in a bad French accent] a few weeks earlier...

Part of the party had been set on shore to investigate a wreck for magical items that may have be found in the hold of aforementioned ship.

On arrival, our party discovers a small group of individuals (GM secret note: sins in human guise) who demand they leave the beach and leave the treasure for them. They try and make friends with crocodile transported alcohol to little effect given these are essence of human gluttony and greed, and they get pickpocketed so they beat them up

Roaming the wreck, they note, then quickly forget, that hull is completely rotten and further note (and beat up) various undead surrounding it.

But where is the treasure? Tony and Cell decide to explore the ENTIRE BEACH, everywhere but in the hold using various senses and find little on the constantly wave swept sand.

Running out of places to look, eventually decide to look in the hold but the sand filled vessel stops them in their tracks before they realize that you can dig sand out. Which they decide to do with their hands, reckoning that if you can kill lots of stuff with your hands, surely you can dig out 4000 square feet of sand easily enough...

Time passes, Sky has a nap, and Tony FINALLY discovers a strange disk like ancient artefact (in the hold) which his second eye tells him is called a "Chuppe Interspacial Control Board"....

Not content with making sand castles, we continue digging in the hold to find an apparently defective and destroyed android corpse... which isn't either, and it tries to beat Tony up with one free hand while the rest is buried in the sand.

Bit of beating up defenceless and trapped android, whom I might mention was completely trapped in the sand and if they had just broken it's hold and moved 5 feet back, they could have interrogated it and discovered more than they ever imagined about the wonders of the universe, the party goes their merry way.
