The "easy" choice is to quell the rebellion

TskTsk: Injured and bleeding, we limp to the harbor late, hoping to find that Takeshi remains to meet us. We find rocky harbor to be abandoned, or so we think. We discover that Takeshi was hiding in the water and that his true nature, that of a dragon turtle, allows him to hide in the water with precision.

Takeshi offers us information in exchange for a favor, and we have two options, easy or hard. The easy choice is to quell the rebellion in the Fan Empire. The hard choice was for us to go to an unknown plane and retrieve an unnamed item for him. By Kord, everyone agrees with me and we choose the hero's choice, the hard way.

We all climb into Takeshi's mouth for transportation. One of the creepiest moments of my life.

Travel to an unknown plane

TskTsk: We swim quickly as we are released into the deep sea near a portal. As we step onto the other side, most of our group has their age changed, though my own remained stable. Perhaps my near miss with the disintegrating elemental provides me with a measure of resistance? Who knows.

This plane has objects like logically sided small moons that we jump to and fro on. The first creature we encounter is a docile bison, and this reminds us to eat. As we stalk close the thing's skin crawls off of it, tentacles burst forth, and it hisses in an unnerving fashion.

As we travel our clutch mother begins to hear a voice in her head. So we follow them.

Just wants someone to worship

TskTsk: While scouting ahead I encountered a mind flayer who seemed to believe that I was the incarnate of some deity that he/she was seeking. Eventually it clung itself to Fuelwen.

Fight against time (elementals)

TskTsk: The fight with the largest of the luminescent time elementals and the battle goes poorly for our side as we had picked off more than we could chew. Fortunately we separate and decide to attack one of the smaller ones and are successful. We attacked it to take as a trophy to Takeshi. Some in our clutch believe that this carcass is what he is looking for. I believe that he is merely testing our strength and resolve so that he may trust us with the information we seek from him.

Rescued by an invasion ship

TskTsk: We return to the portal and depart this plane of shaped moons and tentacles and return to the ocean, swimming quickly towards the surface. I am glad to have drunk a potion of waterbreathing, as the swim to the surface took HOURS. I was not hurt but the elder had pains from the insides. Fuelwen muttered something about inflatable bladders. I believe that this is a sign of his transformation into something not quite mortal.

Our ship is as a squirrel to a cow when compared with the ship that rescued us. Row upon row of oars move the battleship along, on it's course to invade Fan.
