    Early in the morning, Fair Winds received four visitors from the
    House of the Moon (Church of Selune).  They were Yanros Amvermon
     a high-priest, Amren Arrikos and Rhaundon Bloodsong,
    his assistants , and Brogan Blackroot, a hill dwarf
    (played by Andrew) Champion of Moradin who has been assigned to
    act as a liason between the faiths of Moradin and Selune in the
    matter of keeping an eye on the party.  The party learned the
    following things from them:

      Regarding the Coronet: The Reverential Coronet of Extroversion
      was a creation of the Dwarven god Abbathor, who made it in an
      attempt to woo (and secretly gain control of) Deep Duerra, the
      Goddess of the Duergar.  The ruse was unsuccessful and lead to
      strife between the two faiths that still persists.  It is an
      article of faith with the clergy of both gods that they should
      seek to gain control of the Coronet.  A ceremony to destroy the
      Coronet has been devised, which will have to be performed at a
      special forge reached via Citadel Adbar, but see below.

      Regarding the Star Chaser: The real curse on the Star Chaser is
      just that anyone who dies on board is animated as a zombie
      crewmember.  The clergy of the House of the Moon believe they
      can remove the curse from the ship by means of a ceremony that
      will involve surrounding the ship at five points and chanting a
      spell for about an hour.  In order for this to happen, the party
      has to protect them from any attacks from the ship.  They will
      meet AFAL on the docks at sunset on the 4th (full moon) to go
      out and perform the ceremony.

      Regarding another, related task: In exchange for lifting the
      curse, the House of the Moon expects AFAL to destroy the Coronet
      ASAP.  In order to perform the ceremony, they will first need to
      obtain a large quantity (at least 100 lbs.) of Green Corstal, an
      otherwise unexceptional semi-precious stone which may prove
      difficult to obtain in such large quantity.  The nearest source
      that might have enough of it are the mines on the Ice Peak, an
      island off the Sword Coast, east of the Spine of the World.
      There are some old abandoned mines on the southwest slope of the
      peak which should still have a considerable quantity of the
      stone available.  The party needs to obtain a suitable amount of
      green corstal and bring it to the High Priest of the temple of
      Moradin in Citadel Adbar so that preparations for the
      destruction ceremony can be made.


    After meeting with the priests, those who could add but not cast
    Identify did some loot conversion/distribution:

    This makes a total of 212gp and 12sp for each of Ag, Tristan,
    Darius, Maanamere, Dexter, Denyae, and Steve, 106gp and 6sp each
    for Staric and Deringa, and 109gp and 12sp for Henkles

    Dexter buys the Ebony Fly with cash, to be distributed to party.

    Healing happens.

    In the early afternoon, some folks from the Northern Mights
    stopped by to let Captain Maanamere know that they had booked
    passage on another ship and wouldn't be needing the Star Chaser.
