SESSION REPORT - SWORDS OF THE INNER SEA, SESSION 28 Looking to turn a rich profit from extracting the JADE STATUES from the ancient SWAMP TEMPLE, MAZDAK THE GRIM, FOLG SON OF FOLG, the sorcerers WEND WITHER and THOGGOS, and THE HERMIT RINPOCHE, along with their henchman MINO set out from RIN LOTU, the canoes and rafts of the swamper EZO and his relatives laden with ropes, lumber, and other equipment. After passing a barren crag raising from the water, which seemed to conceal a NARROW CAVE ENTRANCE, they arrived on the temple island.

SCAVENGING FROM YOUR FRIENDS:
Any mundane items on the corpse of a deceased adventurer are unavailable for use following the adventure in which that character died. This includes any mundane weapons, armor, and fast pack items.
Mounts, magical items, spell books, and expensive special items are available for the adventurer's fellow travelers.
Mounts will not trust the new owners for a number of adventures equal to the dead character's level at death. Adventures will receive a -1 penalty per dice on chase rolls and a +1 penalty per dice on all ability rolls on the mount until that period is complete.
Magical items will take a similar period of time to "attune" to their new owner, granting a reduced effect for that time.
Expensive special items will be noted with a "too soon penalty" to social effects for a similar period of time.
Spell books are simply subject to research rules.
