Fighting at Sea

Lukas: Ok, I'm glad the caster on the carpet didn't keep attacking us. Not glad about the water elementals that whoever that was sent after us. The crewmen and passengers in the water and one of the boats were slaughtered.

Fortunately, the Water Elementals were dumb enough to stay lined up so I could hit them both with the Wand of Lightning Bolt. The wand might not have been much use against drow and chain devils but it's proved it's worth against other enemies.

We did manage to survive the battle but one of the strangest things happened during the combat. A storm passed overhead, lightning struck the water and left a naked man with a falchion in the water near one of the lifeboats. He helped with rescuing one of the crewmen.

And the guy has amnesia out the wazoo. Oy!

Lost at Sea

Lukas: Well, I suppose the good news is that we are alive. Poon (Or maybe Robhim) could cast create water and Robhim's ability to cast animal messenger came in handy again. It was pretty funny that Robhim had to catch and hold a seagull overnight so he could prepare animal messenger.

Mystery guy turned out to be a follower of Anhur, God of storms and vengeance. He is also a sponteneous divine caster, as we found out thanks to Brennel. Seems like the same kind of magic that Timmie employed. It would be very wierd if he were a reincarnated Timmie. I just think that he'll be an asset to the party. Mysterious lightning arrival says ally you want, especially when he worships the same God as the druid in the party. He doesn't trust us very much though. Oh, yeah, I also gave him my fancy cloak and my older set of clothes. He needed them more than I.

We drifted for about five days before we were rescued. That wand of Silent Image was the perfect signal to get the rescue crew's attention.

Found at Sea

Lukas: Rescued, clapped in irons, locked up for a day, berated and interrogated.

At least we weren't executed. Alicia, Harlann McInnis, Lance Whathislastname (Cleric with robes the color of the sunrise.) and maybe one other all interrogated us using Mind Fog and Zone of Truth. Our ineptness was stretched out infront of us like the guts of one of Jones Henryson's victims.

We really, really need to work on a lot to have a chance of seeing old age. Harlann is especially pissed off about how Talen found out about Alyssa Dac'Angelo-Moonbringer. Harlann seems to have some kind of pathological distrust of Talen, going back to many years ago when they adventured together.

I ended up confessing a whole freaking shitload to everyone because Harlann pointed out my connection to Velsharoon. He doesn't seem to like Warlocks. I don't think I blame him too much but that doesn't mean that I have to like the guy that just told me I can't use my Warlock abilities on the island. I'm gonna have to invest in a goodly amount of scrolls and wands to make up for my lack of Eldritch Blasting capabilities.

The good news is that i can seek out a new God beyond Meilikki or Velsharoon, no offense to Meilikki and hopefully keep my warlock powers by atoning for my acceptance of Velsharoon's offer.

Getting Flame Striked hurts! And it doesn't help that the spell indicated I wasn't good. Something is rotten in Waterdeep.

Now we've got to move on to getting information about Asper from Verbag. The Mystery guy is coming with us because he's got nowhere else to go. I guess We'll have to pool resources to get him some equipment, he at least needs armor and supplies.

DM note: The flame strike did not hurt Wolfdale. Delirium was wounded to the same degree that Lukas and Robhim were.

Package to the attention of Lukas, Wolfdale, or Timmie

Stout has been holding a package addressed to Lukas, Wolfdale, or Timmie that bears the official seal of the Halls of the Even-Handed. Inside is a letter, each addressed to Lukas, Wolfdale, Timmie, Robhim, Brennel, and Abendago. Each letter reads: Dearest sir or madam, Consider this notice of the criminal trial of the death of Neral Taylor in the month of Kythorn (June). Your attendance is mandatory. The date listed for the trial is well after Shieldmeet.

Lukas: Neral Taylor, Neral Taylor. Who is Neral Taylor? I get the feeling that I should know. I don't think that it is the halfling cleric of Velsharoon. His name was Tolman something. It might have something to do with the fireball incident at Stout's Inn I'll have to look in to this. This is probably not a good thing.
