Summary
On a boring day in Saltmarsh, four friends look for ways to make some gold - whether it be piracy, murder, breaking some legs or helping the Mariner's Guild.

Full Synopsis
The group meets at the docks and agree to go check out work options at the job board. Seeing a job for the Mariners' guild to clear Abbey Isle and a job to break the legs of a cheating husband, they realise said husband was the man Addi happened to kill the night before and decide to claim the reward - with the possibility of a bonus.

Once they have done business with the widow, the Salt Baes go to see Guildmaster Tabeth about the Abbey Isle job. Concerned that they seem a unprepared, Tabeth offers to pay for their equipment if they do her a favour and check in on a late smuggling shipment.

In doing so the group discovers a mutiny in progress and help end it, fixing Tabeth's shipment problem and gaining the gratitude of the minotaur Captain. The Captain drops them off at the lighthouse island, where Tabeth instructed them to meet Major Ursa for further details on the Isle of the Abbey job.
