Rough Seas Ahead

Rough Seas Ahead (Expedition Contract)

 * Captain Yvette Young, of the Beaumont, is having trouble with the ocean coming alive and attacking her ship whenever they try to pass Marcus' Island. She would like someone to come along and make that nonsense stop. One of the watchers saw people on Marcus' Island as they were passing by. 2-3 figures that were doing something on this supposedly abandoned island.
 * It's 2 weeks to Marcus' Island
 * Pays 3,500 GP - 5,000 GP, depending on how well we handle things, with no finder's fee for the company. They will also provide us free passage and a longboat to get to the island. We can help around the ship, or not, our choice.

Monster Information: Elementals
Elementals are magical essence of the elements. Earth, Fire, Air, & Water are the most common. There are some that are made and not natural. Like Gravity. Flying Shadows ran broke a containment field and let one loose. Water elementals, in particular, have been known to drown people. They engulf them and drown them. Several groups have stated that cold magic can really hamper their movement. Fighting them in water bad. They’re invisible… until it’s far too late. They are very resilient, so you’ll need magic-imbued weapons. There’s an oil for blades that will make something magical for a short period of time. (oil of vulnerability?) There’s another type of elemental that is created by taking a water elemental and putting magic through it, making it even hardier. Those things are usually essence that are imbued within armor. They’re called “mermadons”. And they can be wearing enchanted armor, that makes them even more deadly. Archmage Laurent Briwint aka “The Elementalist” has created something similar to this, but used earth instead of water. (wonder if he would pay us to harvest some)

We've found that Briwenth Oil might help against the elementals. It will make them vulnerable to our mundane attacks, at least. Also, water elementals are vulnerable to Cold.

Result
We completed this one. But now there's a bigger mess to sort out.
