Depends on the climate?
Most plants are pretty vulnerable to heat/cold/wrong amount of weekly water.
The most resistant desert-plants can survive in a more temperate climate, etc.

The highest ranked guy is only a first mate? Oof. On the other hand, that probably means most of the ships are currently without any officers higher than a bosun.
The wine being the cause is still leaving things unclear. Is that the limit on the god's power, being the God of Intoxication (so can't inflict madness if you've not partaken) or was the wine cursed specifically against Baccus guy, which is part of why he's so mad?

That's why I want to question him who send the wine, if he has the kind of enemies who could pull something like this off, and so on.
If not we'll propably have to accept general divine wrath, if we find something we have a target.

Think about the bright side. Our takeover after this is going to be ridiculously easy, even if we'll have to put in some work on establishing a new power structure. The original high command is dead, nobody is in any state to challenge us, and we just saved the entire island from vicious monsters that made the people of Westhaven turn into cannibals. That's a very good position for an aspiring conquerer.
Oh, and tomorrow we'll likely see Ghouls and Ghasts pop up all over the place, so we can save the populace from those as well. Does anyone want to get Maelor and Teana over to the island to mop up the mooks and get a little XP? Maybe Leila, too.

Bring all the the B party, including Xor, and maybe one of the more intelligent minotaurs.

"He manufactured that 'divine' wrath to have an easier time taking over." - our reputation takes a hit. Or increases, depends ...

I honestly don't think it will happen that way. There are bound to have been a few people who saw us fighting the Maenads and then healing the occassional passerby. Oh, and when we cement our takeover we're most likely going to be doing a big speech buffed by our diplo where we explain the situation and sway the island to our side.
Hell yes. All the B-team.
I'm hopeful of pushing Leila to level 4 after this.

Guys, an idea of what to ask Yss:
Help against the Dracolich. This would make our plans massively more convenient.

Meh, there are already hundreds of bad rumors floating around. I don't really care since we can sway pretty much any mundane populace with a speech. We just need to drop by each city and talk to each crowd personally.
Part MCCLX: As Only Strife Endures
As Only Strife Endures
Thirtieth Day of the Eight Month 292 AC
The gruesome deed of taking the erstwhile admiral's head barely merited a second look in this house of horrors. You make note to yourself to have Dany bless it with the peace of death before aught else. The last thing you desire is to see the monstrous deeds perpetrated here repeated in any manner no matter how small. "We will burn the dead but keep the rest," you announce, half to yourself. Turning to the ill-fated Tyroshi officer, you ask, "Would many have died far from the banquet hall?"
"I do not imagine many would, Kaelos," he replies after a moment's thought, obviously set at ease at being able to make himself useful. "Those driven mad seemed to seek out each other's company in their dreadful revel."
You burn the corpses where they were found in abundance: the banquet hall, the cellar... and dreadfully the kitchen, leaving the rest to the survivors of the manse. It revolts you to think it, but perhaps it is for the best that most of them are slaves used to obeying without question and the rest are junior officers content to trust you for your looks and manner of speech, though your name means little to them.
"See that you burn them all to cinder, least the curse return worse than before," you counsel before taking your leave.
Though it is likely more have perished to the Maenads unclean appetites, the threat of the manse's many dead rising was too great to ignore, you tell yourself. Yet when you finally leave by the same gate you had entered, you find... nothing, save a city reeling from the tumult of the night, hollow-eyed men and women wandering the streets with bloodied hands while others set about looting and rapine unbound by any more sinister influence than their own impulses. The slaves are rising up as leaderless and confused as many of the freemen.
Where before the Wayfinder had showed the way to at least two more of the savage Maenads, now there are none. Even when you take to the sky and cross the town from north to south and east to west the instrument is silent and still in your clawed hand, as if the monsters had been swallowed up by the ground. For a brief moment you worry about the creatures Azema holds, but they seem little changed. Your curse of transformation must be deceiving the finding spell, a thing to remember, certainly, but it does not solve your current conundrum.
What do you do next?
[] Try to divine fate of the remaining Maenads
-[] Write in how
[] Try to restore order in the city

[X] Try to restore order in the city.
-[X] Use VOTD and AON to control the crowds, emphasis solidarity in the face of atrocities etc.
-[X] Use non-lethal takedowns if necessary for pocket groups.
We have their sisters, if they're around we can find them after.
Let's not ruin a good first impression chasing shadows half burnt.

I guess we'll be raiding that Sahuagin village after all.
Right now with five Maenads we have enough for one Heart Tree with two secondary effects. Even if the CR 13 Maenad is given to Yss, we still have enough between the remaining four Maenads for a Heart Tree with two secondary effects.

Oh, agreed, completely agreed, but right now we're dry on our most powerful spells. We need to sleep on our bedroll and then go hunting. I don't want to fight when we're dry of Assay Spell Resistance and Baleful Polymorph.
Wrong. I already have enough for my tree. It's just that we don't have enough for a fully-upgraded tree.
Knew it. Duesal will not get enough for his diplomacy tree.

Dany is right in the harbor, correct?
Let's call her over and start divining while we get on the order-restoration.

@DragonParadox Is Viserys currently affected by either VotD or AoN?

I'd rather we go to the harbor. Dany is there with the Pechs and with the harbor sealed, people with ships may be getting antsy to leave, including the two Maenad if they've returned to human guise.

We should check in on her regardless. She can handle herself, and has bodyguards, but it isn't like Viserys not to worry...

[X] Make our way to the harbor to check on Dany and the Pech.
-[X] Viserys casts Air of Nobility (using two 2nd level spell slots rather than a 3rd level slot). As we travel toward the harbor, gather up survivors of the night's atrocities to keep them safe and instill into them the idea that we are their saviors. Any town guards or soldiers we encounter along the way who we don't need to kill will be ordered to accompany us and assist the survivors.
-[X] Richard and Waymar will kill anyone who tries to attack us or the group of survivors we are gathering. If attacked by another Maenad, they will instead subdue it; our relevant combat spells are seriously depleted.
-[X] Once we reach the harbor, if she is able, have Dany use a Sending spell to contact Vee. Tell her to bring Garin and Maelor with her, if they are available.
