The Tide-Stalled Caravan Spoils

The sahuagin reef hunter pack and the merrow bruisers were caught in the act of dragging the caravan's cargo toward deeper water, but the defenders broke their line before the tide could claim the haul. Most of the useful salvage is practical rather than lavish: coin, seaworthy gear, and one valuable potion recovered from the raiders' spoils. The treasure feels very much like loot won from a desperate shoreline ambush, with brine, sand, and torn rope still clinging to everything.
