Astrid was seriously hurt so she took some of the potions that we found on the ship and was able to get her Dex back up to 9 and her Con up to 10 but it was still a serious impediment. We decided to take the NPCs inland and try to set up some sort of shelter for the night. Jerzy and Sasha (NPC) were able to find a tree big enough to support the 9 of us and by using planks from the ship, we built a temporary shelter.
That evening, we saw the dead rise from the sea, filling the night with a ghostly luminescence. We were far enough away from the water so the dead did not notice us and they went about the night crawling over the ships, performing the same routines they had in life. Jerzy and Astrid performed a song together and during their performance, a large winged creature dropped a dead goat into our campfire, which we ate.
We went over the Captain's log the next day and discovered that the Captain had become obsessed with Ieana and that he had switched the course of the ship to this island at her request. It was decided that we should explore the island to try and find a way off & to hopefully find the Captain or Ieana to kick their asses...errr...question them.
Instead, we found a hut that contained a yellow musk creeper and one of it's zombies. Chin, Jerzy, & Marcus were all infected w/the creeper's spores but Astrid was able to throw oil on the plant and she got Jerzy to set it on fire. Fortunately, we had found some berries from the viper nettle plant and it cured the guys of the creeper's deadly disease.
We also met a creature named Pezock who turned out to be friendly. She invited us into her home and after singing a song with Jerzy, declared that they were now married. We decided to take her back to our camp, only to discover that the cannibals on the island had invaded it. They killed Gelick (NPC) and kidnapped the rest. We had to rescue them so we made our way to the camp that Pezock said was to the south of us. On our way there, Jerzy spotted one of the cannibals and fired an arrow at him, sending him fleeing. We went up to the cannibal's lookout to investigate and ran into him and 4 of his friends.
Marcus advanced to meet them, while the rest of us held back and the raging barbarians knocked him down. Astrid put 2 of the cannibals to sleep and ran forward to try and help Marcus but she was also knocked down. Fortunately, Pezock is a bad ass and she helped Jerzy & Chin kill the barbarians. Astrid & Marcus were stabilized and healed and we went back to Pezock's home to rest and regroup for the night.
