Approaching Bone Island, Rescuing Lucenta

Nathaniel-skull.gif Nathaniel: As we traveled to Bone Island, Chief Erclock of the thri-kreen approached us with a payment opportunity if we were willing to take it. One of their number was a druid who could etch a contingent spell upon our persons, as well as the rest of the crew. We unanimously agreed that this would be a wonderful payment and each of us selected a spell based upon our needs. Knowing that I cannot see the hidden as well as Brilla can, I chose to have Blindsight, greater etched onto my person, to be activated by keyword.

My companions were visited by dreams that were eerily similar and as I broached the subject Bo noticed a life raft in the distance. Deenar diverted the ship's course and we rescued a female pureblooded dwarf. Once she regained consciousness she introduced herself as Lucenta, a castaway on the dwarven ship we were seeking.

Lucenta

Nathaniel-skull.gif Nathaniel: It turns out that Lucenta had stowed away on board the ship to follow her love to sea. Her love is forbidden, as she is already married to an adventurer. I wanted to hear more of this romantic tale, but Bo keep coughing the word "liar". Bo fed her soup so that she could regain her strength and the cleric of Ralishaz took her to be washed. For her rescue, she offered us some booty—scrolls of Tiny Hut, Disguise Undead, and Charm Person, as well as 1,700gp.

When they returned, he was enamored with our castaway. We detected enchantment magic on him that he himself did not cast. I wished for Bo to dispel him, but sadly it seems that Bo fell for her enchantments. Bo did however cast Discern Shapechanger, revealing to us via work of art, that Lucenta was in fact a hag of some sort.

Knowing that she was a hag, and that she was enchanting members of the crew, we escorted her—peacefully—into the brig. As the days passed her enchantments faded.
