Decisions

This image may not actually portent what will happen in the session -- there's a good chance the party may go elsewhere in stead.

Gnala

Approach

Fuelwen: I had reservations about returning to Gnala. I may not return to Algol-Nun until I have completed my quest, and Gnala is close enough that any Sahuagin that saw me would consider me Falkah- unacceptable. I warned the party that any Sahuagin must be killed on sight, but with Brilla's aid, I've made a disguise that should hopefully make it unnecessary.

As we approached, we caught the edge of a skirmish between the Sahuagin and the squeakies, and for a change, the squeakies signaled victory. Embarrassing.

Rig Tig & The Williams Sisters

Fuelwen: We arrived in Rig Tig, one of the minor suburbs of Gnala. Not much, apparently has changed. I saw to the needs of the crew, while there. The others set about their own tasks. It was a quiet, forgotten town, although it seems Nathaniel had some adventures. After a night there, we left for Gnala proper.

Gnala City

Fuelwen: Back so soon? Not much had changed. The land-walkers continue to do their strange things, like unions and taxes. My first step was towards Carn's library. He was out, but I was able to learn a great deal about getting from Gnala to Acheron- and it meant a trip out to the wilding.

The following day, I did get to check in with Carn. He was a bookish as ever- I can't help but think of him as food. Even so, he had my favorite books ready at hand- chronicles of great battles and epic strategies.

To Acheron

Fuelwen: Out to the wilding, we set out on the trail of Acheron without much direction. Curiously, we found what appeared to be a nest, and a short time later discovered its occupant- an achaierai. Between its legs was a flickering portal that showed Acheron behind it. Instead of fighting, we dove through- although fighting it wouldn't have been unpleasant, it wouldn't have gotten us to our goal.

In Acheron

Fuelwen: We landed on a gleaming titanium cube. Our very first meeting was with Tall Tally, although he did not reveal this. When Brilla asked her questions, he told her that Tall Tally was the person to see, and escorted us to his office. It was all a tricky game, of course. There we met his mage Olisan and his barristers, who put us back on Tally's trail.

I must be honest: I like it here. All this talk of war, the epic unending battles, the harsh and unforgiving environment. Tally made me the offer to be an officer in his armies, but as one of his devils. Never- I fight and live and die as a Sahuagin, nothing else.

Still, a good battle- not the continual slaughter between orcs and dwarves. Maybe the slaying of a great beast, like the archerai. Being here, I feel the need- the compulsion to test my skills. I will not disrupt Brilla's mission, but should the opportunity present itself? I would be most pleased.
