Things are nice with food and fish for couple days, then the ship is beset by a an eldritch horror of a Water Spirit. Then more smooth sailing before, gasp, it's revealed The Blue Divers are smugglers! By lying to Tír Tairngire authorities the crew and team are let go safely. shortly later a meistersinger and some other aquatics attack the ship - It's a bit scary but everyone lives! Fin.

After a day or two more of travel it is finally revealed that the trip was about more than just fish - but also apples! Agreeing to help the cover story the team agrees to more pay. Upon approaching the coast of Tír Tairngire they are contacted by the nation's coast guard. With some decent lies there's an inspection that goes well, though there is an emergency "stop signal" sent to the speedboat carrying the goods. Eventually the ship is cleared and the boat chugs off with it's illegal cargo. Nothing is as easy as it seems though. The ship is hit by a magical wave from a meistersinger that was probably following the ship for a while! Then crabs and merrow!
