Island Information

Pirate.gif Brilla: The seas are still rough. My maps are also a bit off in some places. I'm not liking the sea in the state it is in.

We have decided to set off to Wild Tentacles to observe the islands from the moon in hopes of a glimpse of what could be causing off of this. Luckily, on the way there we pass by No Man. It will give us a chance to drop off Killibron. I swear, that man has to have some albatross in his blood.

Fuelwen-icon.gif Fuelwen: Of immediate concern is the changes of navigation. Islands are clearly moving, although it's not too dramatic, as they all seem to be moving in the same direction. I suspect that we'll find other island groups moving in different directions. At my first opportunity, I'm going to purchase a high quality astrolabe and transit. I'm not completely familiar with their use, but I think it's becoming increasingly important.

On No Man

Pirate.gif Brilla: Pinky One-Horn gave us a sound greeting when we entered the inn and informed us that there was a creature much like Killibron that has taken up residence in the inn. This would could barely take one Killibron, let alone two. The silent looks amongst me and the party said it all; there can only be one.

We set way to the room and gained entry (the Fuelwen way). Much to our relief, the create had multiple arms, but was nothing like Killibron. It was a Thri-kreen named Tsk'Tsk that was looking for us. Evidently he stayed with a few others to fight the blue dragon and was the only to survive. He wishes to travel with us to become a leader of his people.

At this point we begun to see a striking similarity between Tsk'Tsk and Fuelwen. Everything they did seemed to be matched neck and neck. It will be interesting to see where this little competition between these two go. I'll be sure to step in before violence comes about.

During all this commotion, Killibron was able to shift the inn to the small flooding island dimension. I just realized... we really need to name this thing. Anyway, he put Tsk'Tsk to work and had him dig around the areas. Overall it was pretty uneventful. Mostly just a waste of time and a bit of a pain.

Night quickly came over the area and word reached our ears of a deadly creature that has been hunting those that go out at night. The creature is said to be from the plane of shadow. It will be dangerous indeed, but the competition between Fuelwen and Tsk'Tsk is already reaching a rapid boil (as was shown by the hunting feast we were presented), I doubt we can avoid this encounter. In the least, we could save the lives of some of the locals from future attacks. I'll have to make sure I stay hidden, though, as those that look human are not welcome on this island. Even though I come with kindness, I doubt the natives would be so willing to give me a pass even after I help them.

Fuelwen-icon.gif Fuelwen: The inn… I recognize that I am the owner of the inn in title only. Killibron runs the place, but he serves my goals, even if only peripherally. I value him as a scholar, more than I value the Pink Priaprism as a place. That reminds me, I should get him to share his notes with me.

We have a new… associate. The less said about him, the better. I don't think he can be trusted, and I'm certain he'll crumble at the first sign of real combat. Speaking of…

There's a creature lurking on Noman. A large monster of some kind, from the plane of shadow. Since it only comes out at night, I set to tracking it by day. We may be able to beard it in its lair, or more likely, find its spoor and lay an ambush for it.
