It is May 31st before Occa reappears with Al's khopesh sword.
Arrrgh! is trained and is playing adeptly with his magic rod.
Occa gathers the group...
Here is what Occa was able to get from legend lore. It may have taken a bit longer than I expected...
**************
After a half an hour a lyric arrives in your brain...
"Billy Bones the sea-dog was a pirate
As nasty as could be
With Katfish the khopesh in his hand
For a few years
Life was pretty grand
He chopped his way
Up and down
The western coast
He had a knack for findin' magic
Of all the pirates he had the most.
*****************
On May 31st a vision finally comes to you...of a scene of carnage. You see the deck of a ship, with another ship in the background. The latter vessel flies the skull and crossbones. A great battle is being fought here...the deck is littered with bodies. At the forefront of the image are three people: a peg-legged pirate does battle with an enormous, turbanned, khopesh-sword weilding warrior, who stands defending a mage as the latter casts spells of death and destruction. The melee is fierce and bloody...but finally the pirate cuts down the warrior, scoops up the glowing khopesh sword and then uses that to disembowel the mage.
The vision fades.

"Interesting scenario," Al says as he takes back the sword. "Thank you, Occa, I appreciate it !"
Occa says, "Okay, let's get ready to head back."
He will take another day and casts stoneskins on everyone in the group who doesn't have one.
