6 Blessing Moon, 1372

• Getting the names from Zahn
  • First is Eryuaal, the silver wyrmling Marcus is caring for, who likes to talk to animals (shapechanged spies)
  • Second is Johann, an acolyte who cleans the temple of Bahamut in Sigil twice a week
  • Third is a githyanki courier/ranger named Pah'zel, she rides an ur'Epona and runs packages between planes, etc
    • She "totally fell in love with this githzerai and when the other githyanki killed him she left them"
    • Yeah right, she got too powerful and the lich queen was going to eat her
• Releasing Zahn
• Time to split the party! Vin will stay with Sil since Pazuzu has the black orb and Church of Tamara needs to go there for Aezma
• Red orb given to The Old Man, also bath toys
• Plane of Water time, excellent!
• Evathyth reports that The Corridor, a demiplane of passage, is currently anchored on the Plane of Water, easy to travel there
  • Corridor has funny time, natural body stuff like healing happens super fast, etc (4 days apparent travel; 7 Blessing Moon - 10 Blessing Moon, bodies age at about 1 day/hour)
• Arrival on Plane of Water (10 Blessing Moon)- immediately seized and taken into custody
  • Guards are super nervous and tense
  • Bring to main city of the merfolk, where party's intentions are questioned
    • We are totally merchants!
    • Do not interfere with our civil war, you pesky non-merfolk!
  • Meet up with Serahn and Vitaria (the archmage and his daughter)
    • Oh em gee, our civil war is ridiculous out of hand
    • Caste system where warrior caste rules, mages and priests advise; but an archmage Nemayon has seized control (and is mysteriously controlling bronze dragons)
    • He has the king Hatarn and 5-year-old princess Penaiah (Penny) captive; Prince Berreas doesn't dare move with those hostages
    • He wants the crown, but Hatarn won't tell him where Berreas is; they are worried if Nemayon tortures Penaiah then Hatarn will fold
    • Berreas's lover Arramincia (Arya) is in city rebel-rousing; Tari contacts her and gets Berreas' location
    • Cute father-daughter exchange; Serahn has custom-enchanted all Tari's gear so she is stacked
• On to find Berreas and the rebellion so we can totally help!
  • On the way, ATTACK!!! A kraken and 5x dire sharks. (Suck my diiiiick, I'm a sharrrrk)
    • Ellowyn nearly gets nommed
    • Freedom of movement is awesome
  • The kraken had a nearby horde where it was keeping slaves (oh, slaves need FOOD...), woo treasure
  • Arrival! Berreas is a bit suspicious of the party but despite grumping about interfering mages, trusts TOM's advice
    • If Penny can be rescued, and let word get out that she is not a hostage any more (showing her around??), then that puts everyone in a better position
    • Nemayon must be baited such that he challenges Berreas; the crown?? Challenged one gets to pick weapons, so he can say No Artifacts (!!!)
    • Nemayon will probably cheat but if he does then FREE-FOR-ALL!!!
  • Plz enjoy our hospitality and this dry room to sleep in (swim n00bs!)
