- More Pokemon Go mania
- After a few days of traveling, we're getting closer to Port Carling.
- Mid morning, the ship comes to a stop near a light ship (like a lighthouse, but an anchored boat)
- In the distance Port Carling is just visible
- The flags on the light ship state that the harbor in Port Carling is under siege and isn't safe
- Discussion about how to find out what's going on and whether or not it would be safe for the merchant ship to put into port
- The girls and the first mate Rawlins (to teach them how to sail properly) will make land east of the city and sneak into town on foot to investigate the situation
- They take the littler boat and end up stuck on a sand bar because of a crap Perception roll (F)
- S turns the big boat directly into the box and everyone (even Rawlins) takes 5 bludgeoning dmg from falling
- They turn the box back into the little boat and take that the last mile to shore.
- They land about ten miles outside of the town, and start walking, arriving at town just after sunset
- Not a walled city, so FST and Rawlins walk into town and head for the nearest Temple to Mishakal
- Nobody seems too concerned about the new comers, and F helps them find short cuts they make their way pretty quickly (within an hour) to the Temple
- A priest tells them there seems to be some sort of creature in the water that's sinking that try to come into or leave the harbor
- The party (and R) have dinner and spend the night at the Temple and get re-provisioned
- After a VERY early breakfast, they head to the docks
- A youngster says Captain Tom might know something
- Captain Tom says he saw the Flaming Snowflake sink and it suddenly started listing to one side, then as he was watching the sailors trying to right the boat (they weren't very successfully as they didn't know what was happening), right before the boat went under he saw a crab nearly the size of a horse climb onto deck and walked around until it sank
- FST decide to do a Divination spell to ask for advice on what to do to help the town
- T performs the spell (with the captain's permission) and asks, "What action can we take to allow safe passage across the harbor?"
- The ball ball of light comes down from the sky and says, "Creatures vile dwell down below, their piercing claws give fatal blows. Destroy and banish them, take their fight, then all in the water will be right."
- The girls figure they really just need to see what is going on in the harbor under water, and S knows of a spell that would let them breath under water, but she doesn't know the spell, so T suggests doing a Sending to Gerard to ask him if he knows where they could learn it.
- T Sends, "Hello! Port Carling under siege by water monsters. Need Water Breathing spell to help. Any advice on where to find or how to learn it?"
- Gerard returns, "Thessalie, lovely to hear from you! I believe a druid named Hennil lives in some caves along the sea coast. Perhaps she can help. Ciao!"
- The girls head back to tell Rawlins what they have learned and that they will be heading west to look for a druid.
- It's a really nice spring day to be out for a walk on the shore.
- After walking for most of the day, they finally start finding caves, and after another little while they find a cave that looks inhabited, but there's no one around.
- They decide to wait outside the cave with people things for a person to show up.
- Eventually a large sea bird flies up and then transforms into an elf. She is tall and thin and has light brown skin.
- She is Hennil the druid. She is suspicious of FST at first, but no one can stay suspicious of T for very long.
- She agrees to teach S the spell Water Breathing over tea.
- S spends the night figuring out the new spell.
- The next morning S casts Water Breathing on the party and H to test it.
- T also casts Continual Flame on her Holy Symbol, so they have a light source they can take underwater with them.
- S frolics around in the shallows practicing breathing underwater, and finally convinces F & T to join her. F is the most reluctant.
- The girls head back to town and arrive near sunset. After filling in Rawlins, T performs a Sending to Captain Chambers saying, "Captain! Lobster monsters in harbor sinking ships. Have found Water Breathing spell to investigate further. Will contact again in a day or two after dive."
- He returns, "Thanks for the update. Lobster monsters sound terrifying. Be careful. Will wait for your next message."
- 1,650 XP ea. for 32,335 XP total ea.
