Summary
Redonda is a spoopy island covered in plants that want to kill you and bugs that want to have babies in you. It's horrible. And there's an old man here who really wanted to take a picture of a flaming bird.
Background
Mr and Mrs Mirabel are a delightful elderly couple who are quite prolific in the 'wealthy adventuring nature nerd' societies. When Mr Mirabel goes missing for nearly a month on an island in the Caribbean league, his wife gets concerned and calls Le Chateau Gateau to help.
The Meet
The party, arriving from a variety of states of confusion from their home, arrive at Le Chateau Gateau and partake of the fairground. They also meet Butlerusk, the Johnson for this run.
He explains the Mirabel's situation, where he is, and offers the team a fee of six thousand nuyen if they can bring the man back alive. Four thousand if dead.
They talk him up to 8k, 4 before, 4 after.
The Plan
Spending time learning about the island, why a man would disappear there, and what to expect, the party learns about Sangre Del Diablo and Breath of the Devil. Quickly learning why Redonda's resurgence from rock to floating jungle has made it known as a devil's island - no not like the Isla Del Diablo, this one is worse.
They also learn about Mr Mirabel, his engagements in political and educational matters, and his love of nature.
Oh, and like half of the island is floating because of porous ash and grasses that clumped it all together.
