Coda Pier/Slumber Haven
Plot
Here the guards will try and detain the party at Slumber Haven, saying that newcomers are held at the town unless they can verify who they are dealing with. (A meaningless gesture to show they are able to leave.) As they send a boat out (it can't go that far.) The guards however say they are dealing with a new pirate problem and they aren't sure who it is from the newcomers lately. (Another reason not to trust the party.)
An old fisher, Jospeph Yarkins (A dwarf) was found dead at the lighthouse. (He saw the boats returning and reported it to the guard. He was supposed to be off duty but was being a good Samaritan for his people.)
A pirate and his crew recently entered by the name of Flint Sparx, his crew had mutinied after he was framed for the murder. He dips in and out of fishery and abandoned house. Trying to find a group he can pay to break out.
The captain of the guard, Derek Longstar (Knight statblock but Splintmail instead of Chainmail.) The town has a dozen guards and two dozen militia commoners.
The noble that rules here is Edward Francois, he has a noble statblock. However he has a shield on his side and 16HP along with multi attack. He is sickly and has asked the cleric for help and though it can be restored slowly it returns.
Flint's Crew has 4 Bandits and 1 Bandit Captain. Flynn himself has a Spy stat with a rapier and studded leather. As well as 16DEX. Making his AC 15. H
1: Slumber Inn
Anastasia Whitesong likes to sing here, she says that Coda Pier or the Slumbering Haven (Called by both) reveres music. That in fact the entire continent/island does does.
She'll know a bit about the capital and it's noble. When looking at Anastasia song, play Forget about it. Make a contested charisma save. (Or ask them if they agree) Charisma save vs her performance. (They can use performance if they decide to dance.) If she wins they'll feel compared to meet her, and perhaps do a small favor for her.
If they win she'll find herself staring at them and feel compelled to do the same.
Fail by 5 or more and this effect is stronger.
She has seen Flynn around but something about him seemed so charming and innocent.. Against her better judgement she didn't turn him in. The bartender is a Toneless and seems to struggle connecting.
At night Flynn tries to meet back up with her.
Here in the tavern is also a Knight from the capital by the name of Mordred. His father has left him a letter upon his death that something was wrong with the capital. He has helped fight off werewolves and captured a few pirates (or helped in) won't join the party for now. (LV 3 vengeance paladin) He plans on heading back to the capital since he has the proper papers. He will mention that he wished he had time to check the church out and it's star like nature. (If approached)
2: Rest Haven Church
Celestian Church, to the stars,space,twilight those connected to Tea can feel here as well. A strange church.
Araren Holidur that means DustStar Twilight Dew
Has the creature paladin statblock
https://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/Paladin_(5e_Creature)
Has defended the town from a pack of werewolves before, wears plate armor and can cast magic weapon. He has been dealing with a recent haunting of a short statured ghost. (Takes persuasion DC 12 to convince his theory that it's the dwarf who's missing.)
Ghost Haunting Skill Challenge DC 12. (Spector Statblock if failed but will give a clue at defeat)
3: Gambling Hall
Alan Rider. He can wears a hood but loves to gamble, he is the captain of Flints crew and mutinied because he didn't agree with killing that dwarf. (Believes him being framed.) Is a bandit captain. Rolls a coin/dice to decide who he attacks every turn. Luck of fate. (Rolls a new at end of turn and allows player to see who he'll target)
if troubles caused he'll try to avoid combat and attack them later as to avoid the guards.
4: Barracks
Prisoner
5: Statue of Selune goddess of Lycanthropes and the moon. A rival for the goddess of twilight. History check could let one know that Selune and Celestian aren't usually worshipped on the same plane. (Faerun vs Greyhawk)
6: Lord's Manor
Edward is here, and will maybe invite them for dinner. As a welcome and maybe once as a thank you for everything. He knows the secret his captain keeps. He has correspondents between himself and a noble from the capital that lets them know all is well and being kept secret. (What secret is not mentioned)
If there is anything fishy he is accompanied by 4 Guards.
7: Fishery
Solek Yarkins, Joseph's brother provides fish and the like. He has access to his brothers old journal which talks of ships coming back rather quickly. As well as his crush on the lovely Anastasia but she is too obessed with the noble/lord/musician Aeric.
8: Coda Pier

11: Armor Shop

12: Lighthouse
Can find clue's through perception and investigation.
Weapons that were used weren't on Flint's person.
Perception: DC 12
Large slashing marks and a scuffle of brute force against brute force.
Investigation: DC 12: Deduction that it could not have been Flint, but if not met yet someone with brute force of Medium build or bigger with heavy weapons and armor did this.
13: Gates
