No one gets XP until this gets fleshed out ;)

Reinforcements

Discussion with the Prime Minister

Lukas: So the rescue party went ahead to save Alyssa (I still believe she's alive.) and the Prime Minister stayed behind. He conjured up a fantastic mansion for us to stay in, then sat down with us to talk. I wonder if there is a secret we managed to keep from the Prime Minister. We probably revealed most of them. Oh, wait, there's that one but I can't mention that!! I hope I don't regret bringing up Tio Meadmaker.

We also got paid a thousand gold to get information from Verbag Deathbreaker, who is going to "escape" from jail when we get back to LRC. All we have to do is say "The dragon watches you" and he'll write all the info down or at least spill his guts about Asper. Crapdammit, I forgot that Asper was involved with Fyodor.

Ambush in the forest

Lukas: Y'know what? There are a lot of enemies I'm learning to loath. Drow, Liberators, Chain Covered Humanoid Freaks. That last one is a real pain in my ass! The majority of my eldritch blasts hit but did nothing!!! We were pretty lucky it wasn't very smart, otherwise it could have killed more than one of us. And I'm very glad I got to fell it, even if the others killed it once it had fallen. I'll have to look into techniques that can bypass the anti-arcane defenses that thing had. They are going to be a major pain if I can't find a way past them.

Sinking of Seluné's Light

Robhim: Right after Anhur reveals to me I can be granted some certain great stormy spells, the perfect opportunity to have used them comes along, and I didn't have them prepared. I should have seen knowledge of them as a sign! If our lifeboats survive this, I must commune.

Lukas: Cripes, I knew trouble would come from Poon's little plan to raid an ornate chest in the Selune's Light's hold. I just hadn't figured it would come from outside of the ship!! A wizard or sorcerer was firing Delayed blast fireball at the ship. DELAYED BLAST FIREBALL AND I DIDN"T JUST RUN!?!??!?! I TRIED TO SHOWBOAT BY SHOOTING DOWN ONE OF THE FIREBALL BEADS?!?!?!??! I don't know what I was thinking. Maybe some suicidally good part of me came out back there. Or I was doing it for bragging rights.

As it is, the crew and passengers aboard the Selune's light, including my friends and I, are stranded in lifeboats. In the middle of the sea. With at least one enemy within striking distance of the lifeboats. And the big, ornate chest is at the bottom of the sea by now.

I've been in worse situations before. I'm sure we'll manage.
