Waters Disturbed

Plot Summary The Group arrive at Clar-rinth, an Elven port. After enjoying a meal they climb aboard a passenger ferry, which Shandor had acquired transport back to Emerald Bay. The boat set sail and the group were merry. They spoke of old tales and watched Lesharn's juggling. Suddenly, the boat rocked, much harder than any wave. A group of serpents surrounded the ship, smaller than the one some of the group had encountered before. A great battle was fought before the group retreated below deck. Shandor devised a plan. The others agreed and jumped back on-deck. A tremendous battle took place. Vaedron and Shandor used up all their energy in a terrific display of magic. The beasts retreated. The group celebrated as Shandor and Vaedron were dragged below deck to rest. Shandor, refusing this, caused Mihwen to send him to sleep via a spell. Just as she turned away he snapped awake, saying it was his one-hundredth birthday. He said, perhaps if they visited the A'lure woods a great feast would be held in his honor. The serpents returned. This time they were not interested in killing the crew. They combined their efforts and destroyed the ship, smashing it into hundreds of pieces. The group were scattered as they fought. A long, hard battle was won by the group as the serpents retreated. Just as the group thought they would perish out here, the ocean rippled. A great many vessels emerged from the water, a creature was with them, he looked like Dramicus. He told of Dramicus sending a note to help the group if he couldn't be there with them. They took the group down to an ocean city. Fagan, a stowaway on the boat, refused to come with them and stayed near the wreckage, lost at sea. The group were settled down in their own private, excellent rooms for the night. Full Logs


[Narrator] The Group arrive in Elven port of Clar-rinth at mid-day. The port town is quite small, a few buildings, fishing shacks and a few piers.

Shandor looks around the port, 'Nice cozy place.'

Ogunk waves

Vaedron looks around

Shandor adds, 'Bit too small for my likes.'

Shandor looks at Ogunk, 'Have we met?'

Celemir smiles to himself and rubs his hands together

Dytalorien looks about and nods to Ogunk.

Vaedron looks at the newcomer

Jenn looks around uncertainly

Shandor spots Bashkar, ' Bashkar! We meet again!'

Bashkar appear from a distance carrying his club on his shoulder

Celemir says "Merchant pockets, ripe for the picking"

Mihwen says 'nope.. whos that?'

Ogunk smiles

Bashkar shouts, ''ello!'

Dytalorien grins at the sight of Bashkar.

Shandor says, 'How are you Bashkar?'

Vaedron nods to Ogunk, "Vaedron is my name."

Ogunk says "no"

Shandor says, 'Well, then, well met.'

Mihwen smiles at Bashkar 'how's your tummy?'

Bashkar says, 'I fine.., how 'bout you guys?'

Jenn edges toward Mihwen. "Who's the guy with the club..?"

Shandor nods, 'Fine.'

Bashkar chuckles, 'Hungry?'

Shandor grins.

Bashkar yawns and leans on his club

Shandor says, 'We are heading back to Emerald Bay.'

Dytalorien smiles.

Ogunk walks away

Mihwen siles 'want an apple?'

Bashkar says, 'ahh!'

Vaedron sits down on the ground

Bashkar shakes his head

Vaedron sighs

Shandor spots Lesharn, 'Lesharn, don't worry, that lyre will be repaired shortly.'

Celemir chuckles "I’m sure we can find him, just follow the trail of carnage and bottles"

Lesharn nods and yawns.

Mihwen says 'lets find something to eat'

Shandor says, 'We'll stop in at the A'lure woods, I know a great elf who can help you.'

Bashkar says, 'yes, I like Mihwen's idea!'

Vaedron nods to Mihwen

Jenn nods, "I agree with food."

Dytalorien chuckles, "Let's get into town then.."

Shandor nods, 'Food would be nice.'

Bashkar says, 'not another elf..'

Lesharn says, 'I've always wanted to go to A'lure'

Vaedron rubs his stomach as it growls

Shandor walks a bit further into town.

Celemir sneaks off toward the port searching for some merchants he can 'assist' with their heavy purses

Vaedron follows Shandor

Jenn trails after Shandor, looking back at Celemir

Dytalorien follows behind the rest.

Mihwen says 'wonder if today’s catch have arrived?'

Bashkar wanders aimlessly, making sure not to stray too far from the group

Shandor looks towards the boats, 'You lot find some food.'

Vaedron looks around at all the different shops looking for a place to eat

Shandor says, 'I'm going to see if I can get us transport on one of those.'

Bashkar nods

Lesharn hums a little melody.

Dytalorien scans the immediate area looking for signs of food.

Vaedron nods in agreement to Shandor and turns to go find food

Shandor wanders off towards the boats.

Bashkar puts his hand to his forehead and begins to look around

Vaedron looks through a window of one of the buildings

Vaedron yells to the group, "Come here I found a Tavern."

Bashkar runs to Vaedron

Lesharn says, 'They better have some good food.'

Dytalorien moves towards the building.

Vaedron walks into the Tavern and sits down at a table.

Dytalorien sniffs the air, and catches a whiff of delicious food.

Bashkar follows in and sits on the floor next to a table

Mihwen follows

Vaedron orders an ale from the barkeep

Lesharn enters the Tavern and licks his mouth.

Jenn follows in after Mihwen

Mihwen looks for the in keeper

Ogunk stands at the bar

Shandor returns several minutes later and enters the tavern.

Shandor looks at his group.

Dytalorien spots a stool and heads over, plopping down and making himself comfortable.

Celemir appears in the door way tossing a large purse from hand to hand looking rather smug

Shandor goes to the bar and orders a dwarven ale.

Lesharn waves at Ogunk.

Vaedron gulps his ale and wipes his mouth after each sip

Shandor takes a gulp of the ale.

Ogunk looks confused

Celemir walks over to the bar and throws the purse onto the counter in front of the inn keeper

Vaedron sighs and says to Shandor, "So where are we going next?"

Shandor says, 'Good news.'

Bashkar looks around and says, 'uh.. hope we have enough money' grinning

Mihwen looks at Lesharn, want any food?

Celemir says "Your finest meals for all my companions"

Shandor says, 'I have acquired transport to Emerald Bay.'

Lesharn smiles at Mihwen and says, 'Yes please!'

Dytalorien chuckles at Bashkar's comment, "Let's hope..."

Shandor says, 'We'll leave soon.'

Jenn looks at Celemir impressed,

Lesharn says ,'Maybe we'll find Appleseed?'

Vaedron says, "Great I better eat fast."

Bashkar asks for the largest piece of Meat they have

Celemir continues looking smug and orders a glass of arcium red

Shandor nods at Lesharn

Ogunk sips on his beer

Mihwen shouts at the barkeep 'two portions of today’s catch'

Lesharn bounces with excitement.

Shandor says, 'I left Appleseed happily at an inn.'

Bashkar is handed a large rib and begins to feast

Vaedron gulps his ale and eats a bowl of strange mush from the barkeep.

Dytalorien grins and strums his fingers against the bar.

Shandor says, 'Okay, we'll be leaving soon.'

Lesharn says, 'I don't think we've been in a bar so far without causing any trouble...'

Vaedron rubs his shoulder where he was wounded

Celemir sips at his wine and takes the large steak over to a table to eat

Dytalorien inquires, "Already? We just entered." and sighs.

Lesharn smiles happily at Mihwen.

Shandor says, 'You want to save the world and become really rich, don't you Dytalorien?'

Vaedron grumbles and quickly eats his bowl of mush

Mihwen can see the barkeep coming at the table with two portions fish

Jenn chews her food slowly, looking around

Dytalorien mutters, "Let everyone swallow their food first, then save the world and become rich..."

Lesharn says, 'Riches? That reminds me of a certain dwarf...'

Bashkar laughs at Lesharn

Shandor nods.

Lesharn says, 'Perhaps that would explain why I found a mining axe in my satchel?'

Dytalorien shakes his head and chuckles at Lesharn.

Vaedron stands up and stretches his stiff limbs

Shandor smiles.

Celemir finishes his meal and leans back "best meal I’ve had in months"

Shandor turns to Mihwen, 'Have you any more apples?'

Shandor smiles warmly

Vaedron walks up to the barkeep and orders another ale

Mihwen looks at Shandor 'sorry they are all gone'

Bashkar asks for some more of the tasty meat

Shandor sighs, 'Okay.'

Vaedron leans against the wall and sips his ale.

Lesharn asks the barkeep, 'Does the inn serve any decent whine?'

Bashkar is handed more ribs and begins his feast again

Bashkar tosses the bones in a pile on the floor behind him

Mihwen shouts at the barkeep 'one bowl of apples'

Lesharn gets a flagon from his satchel and points at it with a grin.

Bashkar frowns at the word 'apple'

Shandor grabs an apple as he passes the bowl to Mihwen.

Dytalorien withdraws his silver flute and strums it, releasing some stress.

Shandor takes a bit of the apple and grins.

Dytalorien grins at Bashkar, "At least you don't have to eat them anymore."

Bashkar says, 'Yes, Glad of that'

Lesharn says, 'At least we're not eating that hairy meat'

Jenn winces and picks at her food, then decides the apple would be better

Mihwen smiles ‘don’t be so sure gentlemen’

Bashkar chuckles

Vaedron says to the group, "Toss me an apple."

Shandor says, 'Okay then, let's finish up here.'

Dytalorien chuckles and grins.

Bashkar places his club against the floor and uses it to raise to his feet

Lesharn grins at Bashkar, 'innovative li'l troll'

Lesharn frowns, 'No wine for me I guess.'

Bashkar says, 'I ready!'

Dytalorien says to Lesharn, "Take some in a container."

Bashkar scratches his head at the large word

Ogunk falls asleep on the counter

Dytalorien arches an eyebrow at Ogunk.

Bashkar shrugs and stretches slightly for a second

Lesharn says, 'Oops Ogunk, fell asleep...'

Mihwen smiles at Jenn

Shandor looks around and walks to the door. 'Okay, let's go.'

Shandor says, 'Then we will have to leave him here.'

Bashkar nods and walks through the door

Shandor says, 'We can't be dragging around an Orc all the time.'

Vaedron says to the group, "I'll be outside when your ready to go."

Bashkar takes a large breath of fresh air

Vaedron walks through the door and out to the piers

Shandor steps outside into the refreshing salty air.

Dytalorien shrugs and twirls his flute within his hands.

Lesharn wakes up Ogunk and strolls out the door.

Mihwen follows right behind Lesharn

Shandor examines the scenery

Bashkar shouts to the rest of the group grinning, 'will I be anyone's transport today?'

Ogunk says "hanks"

Lesharn nods at Ogunk.

Vaedron stares at the sky from a pier

Shandor watched as A fine mist set over the ocean. The bruise-coloured clouds hung low in the sky.

[Narrator] The unrelenting sea pounded into the several small cliff faces. Several fishing boats could be seen on the harsh waters collecting lobster pots set the night before. One large galleon was getting ready to set sail. On the far side of harbour a small explorer ship got ready to chart the "new seas", no doubt hitting rocks or being eaten by ravenous monsters.

Celemir orders a large flask of fresh milk and slips it in his pack following the others out the door

Shandor moves towards a large passenger ferry.

Shandor smirks and says, 'I checked, this isn't a fishing boat.'

Vaedron follows after Shandor

Dytalorien follows behind, and blinks.

Bashkar follows also

Jenn follows, confused

Shandor walks on board the ship.

Lesharn says, 'Erm can that thing really take us across?'

Shandor says, 'Of course Lesharn.'

Ogunk follows

Bashkar steps on as the ship leans a bit toward his side

Shandor says, 'It's in better shape than that last ship.'

Mihwen looks at Lesharn 'come on .. no worries'

Vaedron walks slowly onto the ship

Dytalorien chuckles, "That's reassuring.."

Lesharn nods and climbs on board.

Celemir walks cautiously toward the boat takes one look at its rocking and stops dead

Bashkar says, 'Hope this thing floats'

Bashkar frowns at the thought of water

Shandor looks around the ship. The captain, he is at the wheel.

Lesharn winks and says, 'Nothing has gone wrong so far, so why should it now?'

Dytalorien follows and enters behind the rest.

Jenn climbs on, wondering why everyone is acting so edgy

Vaedron sighs, "I have a bad feeling about this boat."

Ogunk walks slowly on to the boat

Shandor says, 'Okay, everyone on board?'

Bashkar says, 'never rode a boat before'

Lesharn says, 'I doubt it could manage wrestling with serpents'

Vaedron nods to Shandor

Dytalorien muses, "Maybe we'll get a smaller serpent this time..."

Shandor smiles.

Bashkar says, 'Serpent?'

Bashkar frowns

Shandor says, 'Or no serpent at all.'

Jenn looks at Dytalorien alarmed, "What?"

Ogunk says "oh yes"

Mihwen smiles 'nice meat'

Dytalorien grins ominously.

Shandor grins.

Vaedron gulps, "Serpent?"

Lesharn grins at Bashkar and says, 'Don't worry, Shandor killed one on the way here.'

Shandor says, 'Yes, we had sixty more people with us.... they ALL were eaten by the serpent.'

Bashkar says, 'Oh..'

Dytalorien chuckles.

Shandor grins at the people who had been on the ship.

Jenn frowns slightly and looks at Shandor, "What??"

Ogunk says "Shandor strong"

Shandor says, 'I still hear the screams.'

Vaedron looks at Shandor suspiciously and shakes his head.

Shandor grins again.

Jenn leans over the edge looking at the sides of the boat

Lesharn sings a song about a Serpent that swallowed a balloon.

Bashkar suddenly stands proudly, 'I will kill any serpent who come to mess with us!'

Shandor says, 'Okay, shall we go now?'

Dytalorien rolls his eyes, "Let's not get everyone panicked 'fore we even see one...Maybe we'll get lucky.."

Bashkar says, 'no one worry..'

Mihwen smiles at Shandor

Shandor nods towards the captain.

[Narrator] The boat carefully sails out.

Lesharn says, 'nice view'

Bashkar suddenly turns a different shade of green

Dytalorien leans against the railing, gazing across the horizon.

Celemir sits as close the centre as he can hugging his knees and turning pale

Bashkar says, 'I not feel quite as well as before..'

Bashkar frowns

Vaedron walks to the edge of the ship and leans over the railing.

Shandor says, 'Come on, can't a big troll like you deal with a ship?'

Jenn grins and looks at the moving water

Lesharn says, 'Troll, keep your eyes focused on land. it helps'

Vaedron watches the waves crash against the ship.

Ogunk is humming and enjoying himself as the boat rocks

Mihwen looks at Celemir 'want something to drink?'

Dytalorien blinks and says to Bashkar, "Maybe you should consider standing near the railing.."

Jenn smiles at Mihwen, "First time in a ship, this is."

Bashkar cringes for a second, trying to return to his normal color

Bashkar says, 'I'm ok..'

Bashkar says, 'just dizzy...'

Dytalorien frowns, "Okay. As you wish."

Celemir runs toward the edge and hurls over the side

Shandor looks around.

Bashkar sighs and sits down

Dytalorien moves swiftly aside avoiding Celemir.

Shandor says, 'Okay, well, I advise we all get settled.'

Vaedron sits on the edge of the ship and stares at the sky.

Jenn looks at the water, excited

Bashkar gulps and begins to feel better, adjusting to the ship

Vaedron asks, "When shall we meet land again?"

Lesharn says, 'Does anyone know how to fish?'

Bashkar says, 'Think I'm ok now...'

Ogunk falls asleep on the deck with a big childlike grin

Shandor says, 'Days from now Vaedron.'

Celemir cleans himself up and looks at Jenn "how...can you...possibly...like this?"

Bashkar says, 'Fish?'

Dytalorien replies to Lesharn, "Don't you wish Dramicus was here?"

Vaedron sighs and continues to stare at the sky.

Shandor nods at Dytalorien, 'Pity he isn't here.'

Jenn grins, "I don’t know! I've never been away from mainland.. but wow..."

Rue stares over the back end of the boat, staring at the waves separating in two opposite directions.

Lesharn says, 'Yea, fish with fins, silvery scales and sharp teeth'

Shandor says, 'It's great Jenn.'

Mihwen smiles as she hears the word fish

Vaedron mutters to himself, "I really do prefer land......"

Jenn smiles and looks at the water

Bashkar says, 'Oh!'

Dytalorien blinks as he just notices Rue's presence for the first time.

Celemir says "I wish id never been away from the mainland" proceeds to throw up over the side once more

Lesharn nods at Dytalorien and says, 'Yea, Dramicus could fish!'

Bashkar says, 'I eaten those before'

Shandor spots Rue, 'Rue? How'd you know we'd get on this boat?'

Lesharn says, 'Who runs this ship anyway? Elves?'

Bashkar frowns at the thought of more elves

Shandor looks towards the captain, 'Humans.'

Mihwen walks up to Celemir 'want anything against that?'

Celemir says "you can" throws up again "fix this?"

Ogunk smelly troll-body is heaving up and down as he snores

Shandor walks around the boat.

Vaedron paces around the ship

Mihwen turn's around 'anyone got some freshwater?'

Lesharn slips on the deck and slams his head against the mast!

Celemir gestures at his pack sitting midship

Dytalorien blinks and rushes to Lesharn's side.

Vaedron pulls out an apple he saved from the Tavern and begins to eat it.

Jenn turns around startled by the noise of Lesharn banging his head

Lesharn mutters something about ill-kept ferries and spew.

Bashkar gnaws on his arm nervously

Dytalorien inquires, "You okay, little one?"

Mihwen walks to the pack and pours up a mug of water'

Shandor says, 'Bashkar, it's not nice to eat your arm.'

Lesharn blinks and says, 'Ouch, I'm fine. Don't they keep this tub clean?'

Bashkar says, 'I know, but it makes me feel relaxed..'

Dytalorien furrows his brows and looks about, "Obviously not..."

Lesharn points at a puddle of god knows what.

Shandor shrugs. 'Okay...'

Rue inhales the sea air and sits, letting the wind sweep her hair to the side.

Mihwen gives Celemir a mug with a hot liquid 'drink it, but it wont taste good'

Celemir notices a small black cat jumping out of the pack and running over to him

Lesharn sighs and says, 'I miss the discussions we used to have about herbs and potions'

Bashkar stands and inhales deeply

Jenn smiles and looks at the sparkling water, oblivious to the cat running past her

Vaedron sits down on the deck

Celemir looks at is suspiciously then drinks the liquid quickly "EUCH!"

Bashkar sighs, 'How much longer?'

Shandor nods, 'Yes Lesharn, I liked those.'

Dytalorien chuckles and says to Lesharn, "I'm sure Mihwen will take up the topic if you ask."

Shandor says, 'Days Bashkar, weeks if you keep whining.'

Lesharn gets a silver chest from his satchel and opens it.

Bashkar says, 'Oh..'

Vaedron pulls his cloak over his head and tries to sleep

Jenn walks over to Celemir, "How can you not like this? This is the gre-"

Jenn looks at the cat

Lesharn regards the contents carefully, a tear forming below his eyelid.

Fagan pushes a hatch open slightly and peeks out

Jenn screams

Shandor walks away from the group.

Celemir hugs the cat closely

Rue winces slightly at the word "days," but remains silent, still staring off of the boat and into the horizon.

Shandor takes out a small leather-covered book from his backpack

Lesharn closes the chest and stores it in his satchel with a sad look upon his face.

Mihwen walks up to Lesharn

Vaedron tries to sleep but is awoken by several dreams of serpent attacking the boat.

Dytalorien blows a stray wisp of white hair away, his expression slightly irritated.

Bashkar says, 'Uh oh.. what will we eat Shandor?'

Jenn shakes her head and walks away quickly,

Shandor takes a quill from his pack and mutters 'Intavio.' The quill has ink on the tip suddenly.'

Lesharn gets a tuning fork from his satchel and starts toying with it sadly.

Shandor looks up at Bashkar, 'The ships got some food.'

Shandor begins writing.

Celemir puts the cat down and follows Jenn

Fagan bites into an apple he stole from below deck

Bashkar says quietly, 'better not be apples..'

Bashkar frowns

Mihwen walks to her pack and takes up a little box and walk up to Lesharn

Dytalorien notices Fagan for the first time.

Vaedron sighs and says, "So where is this food at?"

Mihwen says here you go, an halfling pastry

Fagan quickly closes the hatch

Shandor finishes writing. He closes the book and looks at the golden title.

Shandor sighs for a second before putting the book away.

Lesharn smiles slowly at Mihwen and accepts the pastry with delight.

Shandor says, 'I can't get any peace......'

Rue stands again, restless, and leans on the rails of the ship again.

Celemir says "why did you scream its only a cat?"

Shandor says, 'The food is hidden to prevent you from eating it all today.'

Jenn shakes her entire body, looking at the ater

Lesharn says, 'Fagan, are you sure those apples are edible? They surely do not look like the ones back home...'

Vaedron grumbles about not having any food to eat.

Shandor says, 'You *just* ate?'

Vaedron says to Shandor, "I get hungry."

Mihwen sits down 'anyone got a story?'

Rue brushes a stray and annoying hair away from her face.

Bashkar sighs looking for something to occupy himself

Shandor looks at Mihwen, 'I have a tale.'

Shandor stands in the middle of the deck.

Fagan doesn't hear Lesharn because he closed the hatch, trying to hide

Dytalorien paces about the perimeter of the boat, contemplating.

Shandor says, 'Okay, this is an old, old tale.'

Celemir shrugs and walks back to cutpurse and picks him up

Lesharn gets a set of juggling balls from his satchel and starts to juggle.

Vaedron listens to Shandor

Bashkar turns and averts his attention to Shandor

Ogunk wakes up and starts to listen to Shandor

Shandor says, 'A group of travellers were trying to find a giant gem... this was no ordinary gem.'

Lesharn sets a fourth ball into motion.

Jenn sits down next to Shandor, listening

Shandor says, 'The gem would summon forth a great evil, that needed to be defeat and locked in the gem.'

Rue stares at the activities going on farther down on the boat, but keeps her distance, preferring to stay and watch the ocean lap at the boat in solitude.

Shandor says, 'The gem would then be cast into a volcano and destroyed, along with the evil.'

Celemir gets the flask out of his pack and putting a little milk in his mug puts it before the cat who laps it up hungrily

Fagan finishes his apple and hears the distinctive sound of a story being told and can't resist peeking out again to listen

Shandor says, 'These travellers were made up off four Elves, three dwarves and a Halfling.'

Dytalorien blinks.

Vaedron takes out his flask of ale and sips from it

Shandor says, 'They had to fight many, many things.'

Lesharn slows down the pace of his juggling to concentrate on the telling.

Shandor says, 'Near the end, a great battle was fought.’

Ogunk picks his nose

Shandor says, 'The outcome of this battle is known only to those who fought in it.'

Shandor says, 'No-one knows if the evil won, or not.'

Shandor says, 'The evil could be anything, and anywhere.'

Dytalorien taps the side of his head with his silver flute, all the while listening.

Jenn peers over at Shandor curiously,

Shandor smiles, 'I know this tale because I was the leader of that group.'

Dytalorien blinks.

Lesharn lets one of the juggling balls slip, lets it bounce off his knee, and all of a sudden its in the air again.

Fagan eyes widen

Jenn bites on her lip and nods slowly

Shandor smirks, 'And I'm not about to tell you what happened.'

Shandor grins ominously.

Dytalorien gets distracted by Lesharn's juggling.

Vaedron grins at Shandor

Fagan smiles slowly

Bashkar sighs a bit

Jenn looks at Shandor, "I've heard the tale before, but differently,"

Fagan makes a note to himself to remember that for his own stories

Lesharn catches a ball behind his neck and starts jumping on one foot, whilst keeping the remaining four in the air.

Shandor claps at Lesharn's juggling.

Bashkar looks at Lesharn in awe

Ogunk yawns so you can se all his big troll teeth

Vaedron looks at Lesharn juggling for a few seconds then looks at the sky as the wind blows through his hair

Rue smirks slightly at Lesharn.

Mihwen turns around and looks at Lesharn

Lesharn jumps into a final stance, but slips again and his balls go flying in random directions.

Lesharn blushes.

Jenn giggles and claps

Lesharn stutters, 's-s-sorry'

Ogunk laughs

Rue is bonked on the head by a ball.

Rue stares at the troll distastefully. "Trolls..." She murmurs

Fagan closes the hatch to stifle his snickering at Lesharn

Bashkar frowns and catches on

[Narrator] The boat rocks, more powerfully than a wave.

Shandor falls over.

Dytalorien catches one of the flying balls and grins, "You'll only get better.."

Bashkar looks at Rue

Rue snarls. "Damnit!"

Shandor says, 'What was that?'

Vaedron falls to the ground

Celemir grabs cutpurse and throws himself to the deck

Lesharn blushes at Rue and says, 'oops'

Bashkar hands Lesharn the ball he caught

Dytalorien maintains his balance and blinks.

Vaedron shocked says, "What the Hell was that!"

Fagan falls down the few steps below the hatch

Lesharn thanks Bashkar politely.

Rue rubs her head and falls less than gracefully to the ground.

Shandor remains on the ground as the ship continues rocking violently,

Bashkar nods in welcome

Jenn looks around at the water, eyes wide

Vaedron picks himself up

Mihwen walks up to Rue

Fagan scrambles and hides among the stores again

Shandor looks at the captain who is on the ground.

Rue stands and picks up the ball.

Mihwen 'you're okay?'

Dytalorien loses his balance and tips over.

Vaedron is knocked to the deck again.

Shandor says, 'Everyone get down.'

Rue sighs and stalks over to Lesharn, handing it to him.

Celemir "yells I knew this was a bad idea, what the hell is that?!?!"

Dytalorien mutters and curses, "What's happening?"

Rue nods to Mihwen. "It'll leave a bump..."

Fagan starts getting slightly nauseous

Bashkar sighs

Lesharn nods at Rue carefully, but does not lift his eyes from the ground.

Shandor says, 'What on earth is going on.'

Jenn says to Rue, "Rue, down!"

Vaedron tries to hold onto a rope on the ship.

Rue sighs. "Sorry Lesharn."

Rue looks at Jenn. "Down?"

[Narrator] Several large creatures surround the ship.

Shandor looks at them, 'Oh these guys look familiar….'

Shandor says, 'That serpent's children? Brothers? Family?

Lesharn screams in terror.

Jenn shrieks, "What?!"

Rue 's eyes widen. "More monsters?"

Shandor shouts, 'Get your weapons, NOW!'

Dytalorien furrows his brows.

Vaedron curses in elven.

Mihwen grabs Lesharn

Ogunk screams "FIGHT"

Bashkar grins, 'Alright, action!'

Rue draws her bow and arrows.

Lesharn shouts, 'I don’t have a bloody weapon and my lyre is BROKEN!'

Shandor says to Mihwen, 'Protect him, as ever.'

Bashkar nods to Ogunk

Mihwen says 'stay near me' as she pulls knives

Vaedron searches for his staff furiously.

Dytalorien rolls to his feet, drawing his long curved saber in a fluid motion.

Lesharn gets a flute from his satchel and equips it.

Bashkar clutches his club, grinning

Jenn unsheathes her sword

Vaedron finally finds his staff.

Shandor dives to the ground to grab his sword.

Bashkar says, 'These things look mean'

Celemir hugs cutpurse tightly and crawls toward his pack

Bashkar says, 'I think we can take em!'

Lesharn stutters, 'w-w-hat are they!?'

Shandor , in a fluid motion, grabs the weapon and rolls to his feet.

Mihwen talks to Lesharn 'we'll stay in the background'

Dytalorien twirls his saber and shouts, "Where'd these come from?"

Vaedron tries to keep his balance by using his staff as a crutch

Shandor says, 'That serpent-thing's friends and family?'

Lesharn s face is flushed white.

Rue steadies her bow and stares at the monsters. "They're so...disgusting." She murmurs, letting an arrow fly.

Ogunk says "are they evil?"

Dytalorien grits his teeth.

Jenn looks over at Shandor, "What about the captain?!"

Shandor charges towards one. The boat rocks, sending Shandor to the ground, sliding straight towards the serpent's mouth.

Bashkar wishes for a pile of rocks or something he could throw

Shandor screeches, 'HELP!'

Lesharn says, 'Evil? I don’t know, but I'm sure they find halflings t--tas-ty-'

Vaedron looks at Shandor and mutters, "You had to kill their family members didn’t you?"

Bashkar shouts, "Shandor!'

Rue leaps out and stretches her hand to Shandor.

Jenn grabs Shandor’s leg

Shandor digs his sword into the deck.

Bashkar charges toward Shandor

Lesharn shouts, 'Mihwen do something!'

Vaedron lunges grabbing Shandor’s arm

Dytalorien moves swiftly to Shandor's aid and deflects an oncoming blow.

Shandor clambers to his feet, 'Thanks all.'

Fagan curls up between crates and bags and clings to his rabbit's foot with his eyes closed

Bashkar stops

Rue shakes her heads, clambering to her feet, and readying another arrow.

Bashkar looks at the creature

Shandor smiles in thanks as a serpent crashes into him, knocking him away.

Mihwen says 'be brave Lesharn, the necklace will help you'

Celemir puts cutpurse in the pack and runs toward Fagan

Shandor lands on the ground, 'Well, that's what I get for being polite.'

Dytalorien punches wildly at the nearest creature, overextending and missing badly.

Lesharn says to Mihwen, 'If only we had something flammable I'm sure I could hit one with my juggling balls'

Jenn mutters then sends a bar of white light to one of the creatures, it deflects and comes back

Vaedron is thrown against the deck as waves crash onto the ship.

Rue sends another arrow singing through the air.

Shandor jumps to his feet.

Bashkar stands, attempting to keep balance

Jenn screams, "DUCK!" as her own magic comes back

Shandor runs along, jumps on the banister of the ship.

Vaedron stammers to his feet.

Shandor jumps into the air.

Shandor lands, blade first, into one of the serpents.

Dytalorien gets slammed by a serpents tail, stumbling forward.

Bashkar falls to the ground and covers his head

Shandor grins as the serpent screeches.

Rue lurches to the side, hearing the magic whistle past her.

Celemir hands Fagan the pack "Please, look after this as if your life depends on it"

Vaedron begins chanting and forms a ball of flames in front of him

Lesharn mutters something about magic and side-effects.

Rue sighs. "I've got all the luck today."

Bashkar charges at the serpent and swings his club

Mihwen says to Lesharn, throw them on the serpent you'll be surprised

Vaedron launches the fireball towards a serpents head but misses

Bashkar misses completely and spins around

Bashkar sighs

Shandor is thrown off the serpent.

Vaedron curses in elven

Dytalorien grits his teeth and turns about slashing at the scaled length of the tail, his saber slicing cleanly through.

Bashkar says, 'They're so fast!'

Lesharn arches his arm back aiming at a monster with one of his puny juggling balls.

Shandor crashes to the ground.

Jenn screams, "Shandor!"

Mihwen sees the ball catching fire in the air

Shandor jumps to his feet, 'Everyone, re-group!'

Lesharn sends a juggling ball flying towards the closest monster.

Dytalorien back-pedals and grasps his blade with both hands.

Rue twitches as Shandor crashes into the deck.

Shandor shouts, 'Everyone, quickly, to the hatch!'

Bashkar dives at a serpent and whacks it hard with his club

Lesharn squeals, 'Whoah! How did you do that Mihwen?'

Fagan looks at Celemir wide eyed and clings to the pack

Bashkar turns and runs

Vaedron pulls out a small dagger from his pocket and throws it into the Serpents body.

Dytalorien runs toward the hatch and dives in.

Jenn grabs Mihwen and follows after Shandor

Shandor runs towards the hatch.

Mihwen smiles 'who knows'

Shandor says, 'Come on!'

Bashkar follows Dytalorien

Bashkar jumps in

Lesharn runs towards the hatch, but... stumbles!

Rue runs to the hatch quickly, looking back to see if everyone made it.

Shandor shouts, 'Lesharn!'

Mihwen runs after

Bashkar turns toward Lesharn

Rue gasps. "Lesharn!"

Vaedron follows Shandor

Shandor runs over and picks the halfling up

Ogunk dives down the hatch

Shandor runs, carrying Lesharn, to the hatch.

Dytalorien shouts, "Hurry everyone!"

Vaedron runs down the hatch

Celemir charges up the stairs back onto deck and draws a throwing knife

Fagan gets worried and hides deeper among the stores

Bashkar is already in mid jump

Shandor passes Lesharn down to Mihwen

Lesharn appears to be both sick and paralyzed at once.

Bashkar falls in

Rue leaps into the hatch.

Bashkar sighs a bit dazed after hitting the ground

Shandor dives into the hatch, slamming the hatch shut with him.

Ogunk bangs his head when he lands and passes out

Mihwen pushes Lesharn down the hatch

Vaedron sighs

Shandor hits the ground below.

Bashkar rubs his head and looks up

Shandor stands up quickly, 'Is everyone okay?'

Fagan rearranges stores so that he's hidden inside a "cave" of boxes

Vaedron says, "Well this is nice isn't it."

Celemir gets knocked back down the stairs in mid draw by the sudden rush of adventurers

Dytalorien grunts, "This is great..."

Bashkar says, 'We coulda taken em..'

Jenn stand next to Vaedron, "Teach me... those fire balls, my magic does no good against water."

[Narrator] The ship is being knocked violently.

Lesharn says, 'Ooops, who was that? Sorry for landing on top of you...'

Ogunk mumbles something

Rue slams into a wall.

Celemir gets back up and steadies Rue

Vaedron turns to Jenn, "Later, now isn’t the time."

Dytalorien curses and braces himself against a nearby wall.

Rue snarls "Are we just going to sit here until we sink?’

Shandor says, 'Okay listen EVERYONE.'

Rue smiles at Celemir. "Thanks."

Shandor shouts to be heard.

Fagan possibly ruins the travel-readiness of the stores by rearranging them

Dytalorien mumbles but listens.

Bashkar listens to Shandor

Shandor shouts, 'Okay, now, we need to fight, everyone.'

Vaedron turns to listen to Shandor

Lesharn says, 'I swear, a dwarf once warned us of a Prophecy and Sinking Coffins...'

Shandor says, 'Lesharn, that dwarf dragged you to a Hell dimension for SEVEN years.'

Shandor says, 'Listen to my plan.'

Shandor says, 'Who can shot an arrow, bolt or anything else?'

Ogunk rouses

Rue grimaces. "That's quite cheerful Lesharn.

Vaedron shakes his head

Lesharn mutters, 'I only tell stories, I don't always make them'

Dytalorien raises his hand, "I can manage to throw some daggers, but I doubt they'll hit anything worthwhile."

Celemir says "I’m a fair knife thrower, but these" gestures at his knives "aren’t going to do much"

Mihwen for a second Mihwen’s face darkens

Lesharn blinks in surprise.

Shandor says, 'Okay, well, try any way, who can throw magic?'

Fagan thinks about what a hell dimension might be and wonders

Dytalorien nods to Shandor.

Lesharn says, 'I threw a juggling ball and Mihwen lit it!'

Jenn bites her lip and frowns, "My magic comes back when i hit them."

Shandor says, 'Good, good, you two work together.'

Vaedron nods to Shandor, "I can cast my magic but i will need some time."

Lesharn grins at Mihwen.

Shandor says, 'Okay, everyone prepare your spells, and bolts and arrows and whatever else you want.'

Mihwen asks Lesharn how many balls do you got left?

Rue looks at Jenn. "Does your magic ALWAYS come back?" She begins to formulate a plan...

Bashkar nods

Shandor says, 'The rest, get something to use as shields.'

Lesharn says, 'Uhm. I got four left, counting the one that hit Rue across the head'

Jenn looks over, "It never has!"

Vaedron grips his staff and says a short prayer

Rue shakes her head. "So much for that idea..."

Dytalorien creases his brows in worry.

Rue smirks slightly, rubbing the now-forming lump.

Ogunk picks up an old plank

Vaedron stares at the hatch door, ".......I'm ready........"

Jenn asks, "What was your plan, maybe its because my magic deals strongly against land and not water.."

Shandor shouts, 'OKAY, everyone get ready!!!'

Dytalorien makes a deft yet subtle motion with his hand.

Fagan gets curious and peeks inside the bag that Celemir handed him.

Shandor takes out his bow and arms an arrow.

Lesharn comforts Rue, 'I'm sure Mihwen has a salve for that l-lump'

Vaedron grips his staff

Rue sighs. "If your magic was consistently bouncing back, you could have attempted casting it at the group.

Shandor mutters something and his arrow glows with magic.'

Dytalorien grits his teeth, focusing on the coming battle.

Lesharn rummages through his sack, making sure his juggling balls are easily accessable.

Rue smiles. "No worries Lesharn."

Bashkar gets ready

Shandor says, 'Okay then, lets go in THREE.'

Jenn sighs and grips her sword

Shandor says, 'TWO.'

Shandor says, 'ONE.'

Shandor shouts, 'Lets GO!!!'

Shandor jumps up, knocking the hatch open.

Rue mutters some magic, enchanting her arrows.

Vaedron runs through the hatch door.

Celemir charges up the stairs knives in hand

Bashkar climbs out quickly, and lets out a battle cry

Lesharn says, 'I'm not goin’ first'

Rue charges out of the hatch.

Dytalorien leaps forward and tries to find a target.

Shandor is on the deck.

Shandor takes aim and fires.

Jenn charges out

Ogunk climbs out

Vaedron stares at the screaming serpents

Lesharn clambers onto the deck.

Shandor watches as the arrow hits of the serpents in the eye.

Lesharn says, 'Mihwen, are you ready?'

Mihwen go

Shandor loads another enchanted arrow.

Dytalorien spots a serpent brings his hand wide in an arch, letting fly several gleaming daggers.

Shandor fires again, completely blinding his serpent.

Rue fires an arrow. It alights with fire, but is burned to a crisp in the air, and the ashes flutter to the deck.

Lesharn throws a juggling ball at a serpents eye.

Mihwen moves her hand and the ball catches fire

Bashkar growls and holds his club, fully enraged

Vaedron grumbles to himself

Celemir runs directly toward one of the serpents and throws two knives at it before back flipping off the deck-side and running away again

Rue shakes her head. "I have to get closer..."

Vaedron begins to chant louder and louder in elven, the clouds begin to blacken the sky.

Dytalorien watches as most of the daggers miss, but one manages to plant itself within the serpents scales.

Bashkar waits for the archers and magic users to finish their attack

Celemir glances back to see both knives miraculously found their mark and are firmly imbedded in the creatures eyes

Shandor grins, 'It's working!'

Shandor is out of arrows.

Fagan wonders what they're fighting with outside and goes to the hatch to see so he can the tale later on. He keeps Celemir's pack gripped tightly

Lesharn grins in delight as his juggling ball collides with a serpent into a puff of flame and smoke.

Shandor throws the bow to the deck.

Rue pulls out an arrow, and rushes at the serpents, firing an arrow.

Ogunk throws the old plan at the serpents

Dytalorien grunts and makes another deft gesture with his left hand.

Shandor waves his hands arcanely.

Lesharn gets a juggling ball and throws it.

Vaedron 's chanting becomes louder, soon lighting begins to rain from the sky striking the serpents.

Shandor begins chanting.

Rue watches contentedly as the arrow lights with fire again, and strikes a serpent in the eye.

Shandor 's eyes glow red.

Mihwen moves her hand again and the ball catches fire

Shandor lifts off the ground several feet.

Jenn tosses Lesharn two apples, "Can you light this?" She shouts

Vaedron raises his arms in the air signalling for more lightning bolts.

Shandor fires a stream of energy at the serpent, it screeches and retreats.

Dytalorien brings his left hand forward swiftly in a forceful gesture, and four daggers fly at a serpent.

Bashkar says, 'Too bad we can't conjure up lightning'

Shandor collapses to the ground, weary.

Fagan feels sorry for the serpents

Lesharn says, 'Hm. I can try, if Mihwen can light apples...'

Mihwen says 'no point to much water in them'

Celemir once more charges toward the serpent, this time not being so lucky and the thing in furious agony hurls him back across the deck

Bashkar runs toward a serpent who is out of the attack stream

Shandor gets up again, 'have... to--- cast--- spells...'

Rue readies another arrow, but is smacked across the deck.

Lesharn says, 'Okay, I got but two left'

Bashkar sighs

Rue stands and wipes blood from her mouth.

Bashkar clubs a serpent outside the head which quickly turns and bite hard into his arm

Lesharn throws a juggling ball aiming at its mouth.

Dytalorien blinks as three of the four daggers hit the serpent in a big stroke of luck.

Rue shakes her head. "Never throw caution to the wind."

Bashkar growls, hitting it off, and falls back

Vaedron collapses on the deck and is drain from all his energy from casting a spell

Rue looks at Shandor. "You're putting yourself in danger."

Shandor says, 'Better danger than death.’

Mihwen moves her hand and the ball catches fire as the two before

Bashkar runs back to the group and clutches his arm growling

Jenn shakes and sends a bar of white light to one of the serpents then screams in rage as it comes back.

Shandor begins chanting again. This time he rises just a foot off the deck. His eye's glow as a great bolt of lighting fires from the sky and hits into the water. So powerful is this bolt that it goes through the water and electrocutes all of the serpents. They screech but survive.

Dytalorien makes a deft gesture with his hand, but realizes he has no more daggers to use.

Vaedron slowly climbs to his feet

Lesharn shouts, 'last one!' and throws a juggling ball with all his might.

Shandor looks pale and stumbles to the ground.

Bashkar charges the serpent again and attacks it with his claws

Mihwen moves her hand and the final ball catches fire

Rue rushes over to Shandor, and kneels next to him. "Shandor?"

Vaedron begins chanting again causing more lightning to rain from the sky.

Bashkar scratches the serpent hard, opening a wound on its nose

Dytalorien grits his teeth and withdraws his saber.

Lesharn says, 'Mihwen, it worked!'

Shandor says, 'Shandor's not here.... I.... so tired....'

Mihwen runs to Shandor

Lesharn stumbles next to Fagan.

[Narrator] The Serpents retreat into the oceans.

Vaedron passes out on the deck floor

Bashkar trudges back to the group still clutching his arm which bleeds heavily

Shandor opens his eyes to see the serpents flee, 'We... won... whoo..'

Dytalorien blinks as the serpents disappear beneath the currents.

Mihwen says 'can any one help Shandor down under deck?’

Vaedron is drained of all his energy

Jenn runs to Shandor, shifting his weight

Dytalorien sheathes his saber and nods to Mihwen.

Jenn looks at Mihwen, "I can too."

Bashkar growls holding his club on his shoulder

Dytalorien grunts and lifts Shandor up precariously.

Celemir staggers to his feet

Mihwen says juts get him down

Shandor starts mumbling, 'Happy birthday to me.... happy birthday dear Shandor....'

Dytalorien staggers about unsteadily.

Bashkar says, 'I could lift him with one arm'

Shandor snaps awake suddenly, 'Birthday?'

Lesharn says, 'oh dear... he's very ill.'

Jenn looks at Shandor then Dytalorien, startled

Bashkar walks over to Shandor

Vaedron groans on the floor and tries to stand

Dytalorien grunts at Bashkar, "Then do it!"

Mihwen shouts 'NOW DO IT!'

Shandor says, 'Hey! It is my birthday...' He falls to the deck again.

Bashkar lifts him with his good arm

Bashkar props him over his shoulder

Fagan slips away and hides again

Lesharn waves in panic and exclaims, 'Shandor are you alright?'

Vaedron climbs to his feet and leans against a poll.

Dytalorien pants and wipes his forehand, "Shandor needs to lose some weight..."

Mihwen turns to Lesharn 'get my little bag'

Jenn looks at Lesharn, "He's drained..."

Shandor looks at the halfling and giggles, 'You are very small...'

Bashkar holds his club with his injured arm and gets to his feet

Jenn laughs suddenly at Dytalorien's remark

Lesharn starts running about deck looking for Mihwen’s bag.

Vaedron curses as he tries to regain his senses

Dytalorien mumbles and heads down the hatch.

Lesharn yells, 'Where did you put it?'

Bashkar heads down the hatch with Shandor

Jenn goes over to Vaedron and helps him

Shandor begins to regain his senses, 'What in Tarkna are you lot dong?'

Bashkar places him against a wall

Ogunk here it is

Mihwen yells beside the brig black one

Lesharn says, 'Never mind here it is...'

Bashkar grins

Lesharn thanks Ogunk.

Shandor tries to stand up, but slides to the ground.

Bashkar clutches his arm and drops his club

Lesharn passes the bag to Mihwen.

Celemir falls unconscious

Ogunk smiles

Shandor says, 'On second thoughts, I don't mind being on the floor.'

Vaedron tries to walk with his staff as a crutch

Mihwen looks real mad 'why isn’t he down yet?????'

Lesharn says, 'oh dear, not another?'

Dytalorien blinks at Celemir.

Jenn glances at Celemir, and Shandor, then Vaedron, "Anyone else wanna pass out..?"

Shandor stands up again, and stumbles once more.

Bashkar sighs and sits against the wall

Shandor says, 'Curses, why can't I walk!'

Vaedron mutters, "I need some rest........."

Jenn helps Shandor to his feet

Shandor falls again.

Bashkar says, "Don't over-exert yourself there Shandor'

Jenn says, "Shift some of your weight on me and walk."

Shandor says, 'Getting repetitive here...'

Lesharn says, 'Heavenly Mother God of all Halflings, Are you sure I was meant to be a Bard and not a Cleric!?'

Bashkar sighs, 'Hope I wont have to carry you now'

Dytalorien grits his teeth and brings a hand to a nearby wall, steadying himself.

Jenn stumbles under Shandor weight, "Not all your weight, some!"

Shandor stands up. He feels slightly better, he still looks very pale.

Lesharn says, 'Mihwen, we need to work faster. You are the only healer here!'

Shandor walks away from Jenn carefully.

Bashkar says, 'Mihwen has her work cut out'

Vaedron pulls out his flasks and sips ale from it.

Shandor grins feebly, 'I'm fine.'

Jenn shakes her head and sits Shandor down.

Bashkar climbs up onto the deck

Bashkar says, 'anyone else need help?'

Mihwen say Bashkar 'help me to get him in bed, and hold him there'

Vaedron looks at the rest of the group all at Shandor and sarcastically says, "Yeah just pay attention to him I'm fine."

Bashkar nods to Mihwen

Lesharn says, 'Is there anything I can do to help?'

Shandor says, 'Try to drag me anyway and I'll send you all to Tarkna!'

Jenn looks around, "Where's Cele?"

Dytalorien looks about, unable to help any.

Vaedron shakes his head

Bashkar returns to Shandor's side

Bashkar says, 'Can I get a cloth to wrap around my arm first?'

Shandor breathes deeply.

Vaedron looks around for Celemir

Jenn goes over to Vaedron, seeing that Bashkar is carrying Shandor, "You alright?"

Jenn winces, "Dumb question," She mutters

Shandor stands up. 'Okay, I'm fine now, I could use some food though.'

Vaedron nods to Jenn, "I'll be fine."

Bashkar nods

Shandor climbs back on deck.

Shandor says, 'I was serious about one thing.

Bashkar says, 'Does someone have something to stop my bleeding?'

Shandor says, 'It is my birthday...'

Mihwen walks up behind Shandor puts her hands on his head and he falls asleep

Shandor snaps awake, 'Really Mihwen, it is quite rude to do that.'

Vaedron say, "I just over exerted myself."

Bashkar climbs back onto deck again'

Jenn looks over, "I knew it!"

Shandor says, 'I'm one-hundred today.'

Shandor grins.

Bashkar sighs looking at his arm

Jenn grins, then realizes that he's already asleep

Mihwen walks up to Bashkar and whispers 'hit him in the head but only so he pass out'

Shandor hears this. 'Eek!'

Bashkar chuckles

Shandor runs above deck.

Mihwen yells catch him!

Shandor says, 'Back away!'

Vaedron grumbles, "I could really use some sleep, where are the beds on this ship?"

Bashkar says, 'Mihwen can I have something to wrap around my arm first?'

Celemir starts to come round when his head in stepped on by a fleeing Shandor

Shandor says, 'You know, when it's someone's one-hundredth birthday, you are meant to be nicer.

Mihwen says u wont die, but Shandor might

Bashkar smirks

Shandor says, 'I wish I could be in the A'lure woods tonight.

Shandor smiles, 'The celebrations we would have.'

Lesharn says, 'me too'

Bashkar says, 'ok, but its not my fault if I bleed on someone..'

Mihwen looks at Lesharn where's my bag?

Jenn walks over to Shandor, "You should sit.."

Bashkar wipes his arm a bit, the flow of blood has slowed slightly'

Lesharn hands Mihwen her bag.

Shandor says, 'A great tradition, when someone reaches his one-hundredth year of life, a great festival is held in his, or her, honour.'

Bashkar trudges toward Shandor

Shandor hopes, 'Maybe when we get their, they will still throw one.'

Vaedron sits down

Shandor says, 'I'm sure we could all use a party.'

Vaedron rubs his forehead as he listens to Shandor

Jenn smiles at the thought of festivity, then notices her shoulder stinging

Mihwen walks up to Shandor

Mihwen says 'How are you Shndor?

Shandor steps away from Mihwen.

Lesharn finds a comfortable spot and falls asleep, obviously tired by all the excitement.

Shandor says, 'Don't try making me sleep again.'

Jenn shudders and looks at her bare shoulder

Mihwen says 'No just want to see if you're hurt'

Bashkar sits down for a second, feeling a bit dizzy

Shandor says, 'Sure you do...'

Shandor says, 'Well, I'm not hurt.'

Jenn tug's on Mihwen's shirt, "But I am.."

Shandor says, 'So I'll back away from you.'

Celemir comes around a third time and groans in pain

Bashkar looks at his arm again

Mihwen says 'Let me decide it'

Bashkar sighs, 'I wish I at least had something to clean this..'

Mihwen says 'I've healed you many times before'

Shandor says, 'Very well, but try sending me to sleep and you will never forget it.'

Shandor steps towards Mihwen.

Bashkar smirks slightly at Shandor

Vaedron starts to fall asleep

Bashkar struggles to his feet

Mihwen says 'Let me see your arms'

Shandor is about to be inspected by Mihwen when the boat rocks.

Shandor is thrown to the ground, 'Not again.'

Jenn mutters to herself, "Struck by your own magic... how dumb are you Jenn?"

Bashkar walks over to Shandor and Mihwen then sits down

Vaedron is suddenly awoken

Bashkar sighs at the rocking

Vaedron sighs and mutters, "Again?"

[Narrator] The serpents have returned, all with one thing on their minds.

Bashkar growls

[Narrator] They charge into the boat from all sides. The sound of wood breaking fills the group's ears.

Bashkar says, 'Oh no..'

[Narrator] The ship collapses into the waters, smashed into hundreds of tiny pieces.

Shandor screeches, 'Hang on!!!!'

Celemir screams "CUTPURSE!!!"

Bashkar grabs a chunk of wood and hopes that it will float

Mihwen lays her hand on Shandor’s shoulder and he feels a needle stick into him

Celemir searches franticly for his pack

Shandor smashes into the water.

Vaedron holds onto a barrel that is floating

Shandor begins swimming about for his weapons.

Vaedron yells, "Try and stay together!"

Bashkar notices Vaedron's idea and grabs a barrel as well

Shandor says, 'Yes, everyone get together.'

Shandor says, 'Try and get your weapons!'

Bashkar clutches his club with his injured arm, desperate not to let it sink

Fagan screams and clings to Celemir's pack

Jenn screams as she sees Celemir running around looking for Cutpurse,

Jenn shouts, "Cele! Come back!"

Celemir sighs with relief and swims over to Fagan

Vaedron yells, "I cant cast any spells! I am to tired!"

Bashkar floats in the water cringing

Jenn grabs onto a piece of the ship

Bashkar says, 'I don’t think I can fight like this!'

Fagan sees Celemir and holds the pack out, floundering in the water

Celemir looks at the serpents

Vaedron struggles to hold onto his floating barrel and hold onto his staff ar the same time.

Celemir yells "play dead!"

Mihwen grabs hold of Lesharn

[Narrator] In the horizon the sun begins to set.

Bashkar says, 'Serpents might be scavengers!'

Shandor says, 'Get together and try to fight them.

Bashkar growls, 'this isn't good..'

Shandor is swept into the air by a serpent.

Shandor disappears into it's mouth.

Shandor says, 'Okay, behold the goodness that is not this.'

Bashkar uses his feet and pushes closer in toward the rest of the group

Jenn screams, "SHANDOR!!!"

Bashkar shouts, "Shandor!!'

Vaedron tries to climb onto his barrel but is thrown off by the waves

Bashkar growls suddenly enraged again

Vaedron yells, "Shandor NO!"

Shandor looks like he is about to die. The serpent screams with pain. It's mouth and face begin glowing red.

Mihwen is doing her best to keep her and Lesharn floating

Fagan blinks at the serpents

Bashkar says, 'I can't fight in water!!'

Celemir roars with anger as he does so the locket around his neck begins to glow

Shandor grins as the serpents mouth explodes open, gushing flames fill its mouth and rush down it's throat.

Vaedron pulls out a small silver dagger kept in his boot and grips it in his teeth

Fagan dives underwater and swims as far away as he can before surfacing again

Shandor falls from the dead serpent into the water.

Shandor says, 'One down.'

Bashkar suddenly growls in pain as water enters his wound

Vaedron yells to Shandor, "Are you ok?"

Shandor nods.

Bashkar rips off a piece of his cloth and wraps it around his arm

Celemir disappears but there is a splashing noise and what seems like a trail of water heading directly for one of the serpents

Bashkar struggles to do so without dropping his club

Fagan surfaces and gasps for air

Vaedron stares up at a Serpent

Shandor says, 'Okay, lets fight them, we can win!'

Bashkar takes another piece of cloth and ties his club to his back

Shandor suddenly notices something, 'Oh no! Where are Lesharn, Dytalorien and Rue?! and Oguark!'

Mihwen shouts cant fight Lesharn cant swim I must keep him floating

Vaedron yells, "Help I cant cast any spells I have no more energy left for it!"

Fagan looks back at the serpents, then swims to a piece of wreckage and clings to it.

Bashkar jumps from the barrel and swims out a bit

Celemir throws a large piece of wood at the water a short distance away one of the serpents dives for it

Mihwen shout anyone seen Rue?! and Oguark?

Jenn shouts to Vaedron, "This would be a good time to teach me how to cast some of your spells!"

Bashkar grabs the barrel and swims toward Mihwen and Lesharn

Bashkar says, 'Might this help?'

Celemir vaults off of a plank and onto the beasts head

Fagan climbs onto the piece of wreckage and looks back again

Vaedron grabs his dagger and throws it will all he’s got into a Serpents eye.

Mihwen says yes, but Rue and Oguark

Bashkar nods, 'I haven't seen them yet..'

Shandor says, 'Nor have I.'

Mihwen puts Lesharn in the barrel

Fagan pulls out his penny whistle and starts to play, remembering a tale about music soothing angry animals

Vaedron grins as blood fountains from the Serpents wound

Bashkar swims toward a serpent at full force

[Narrator] A great trident of glowing energy thunders up from the waters and kills a serpent.

Shandor says, 'What was that!?'

Bashkar cringes painfully and stops

Bashkar says, "What was that??'

Vaedron gasps at the site

Celemir draws his long sword and taking careful aim plunges his sword into the serpents head

Fagan cries out, the music interrupted

[Narrator] The group is scattered as the creatures are either dead or leaving.

Bashkar is taken back by the site

[Narrator] The group are days away from any port, lost in a ocean of turmoil.

Shandor says, 'What do we do know?'

Celemir is thrown off and hits the water HARD

Fagan clings to the piece of wreckage and whimpers

Vaedron struggles to hold onto his barrel.

Bashkar says,' There are more barrels, perhaps we could use them?'

Mihwen swims up to the barrel

Jenn coughs and sputters, "I don’t know... Can't swim very well..."

Bashkar begins to swim toward the wreckage

Mihwen says 'Rue, Dytalorien and Oguark????'

Bashkar searches for more barrels

Shandor says, 'They are gone.'

Vaedron sighs

Shandor looks down in the water in sorrow.

Bashkar says, 'We much save those who we still can..'

Vaedron says a short prayer

Jenn shouts, "No! They have to be here! No!!"

Bashkar finds another barrel and grabs it

Shandor mutters a prayer to the Spirits.

Jenn looks around frantically for the two

Bashkar holds on, panting for breath

Celemir grabs onto a large portion of deck and climbs onto it

Bashkar begins to paddle out with his feet, 'Anyone need help?'

Shandor says, 'What was that trident?'

[Narrator] Out of the darkness of the waters something emerges. vehicles, small enough to hold four people. Creatures emerge from the water, with the structures. They look like Dramicus. <+Bashkar> ooc begins**

[Narrator] The leader looks at them. 'Hail.' He says. 'We got a message from our brethren, Dramicus, to help you.'

Bashkar looks at the creatures

Shandor looks at them.

Bashkar shouts for joy

Shandor says, 'Can you take us to Emerald Bay?'

Vaedron sighs with relief.

[Narrator] The leader looks at Shandor and shakes his head. 'We can take you to our last remaining city beneath the waters.'

Fagan watches wide eyed

Shandor nods, 'That's good enough.'

Jenn looks at them then cries with relief,

Bashkar nods

Bashkar says, 'Beneath the water??'

Bashkar blinks

Fagan looks at the creatures, then looks down at the water and starts shaking his head and backing towards the edge of his wreckage.

Vaedron swims towards the vehicles

[Narrator] The leader smiles, 'Very well, clamber on board our vessel for you none-merfolk

Vaedron shouts, "Hurry lets get in."

Bashkar sighs and swims toward them

Shandor swims to one of the vessels and climbs on.

Shandor says, 'Thank you so much.'

Celemir swims toward the contraption and gets in

Fagan stays where he is

Vaedron climbs into a vehicle

Bashkar reaches a vessel and climbs on as well

Mihwen swims towards it pushing the barrel in front of her

[Narrator] The leader says, 'We found three others, one had green skin, a bit like ours, they were in trouble so we took them to our city.

Fagan watches the others getting in

Vaedron sighs with relief

Shandor grins, 'That is indeed great news.

Bashkar says, 'I'm tired...'

Vaedron say, "Were you behind that trident?"

Shandor looks around, 'Come along.'

[Narrator] The leader nods at Vaedron.

Shandor leaps away.

Fagan is still on his wreckage

Vaedron nods

Mihwen smiles..

Shandor says, 'No sleeping spells.’

Jenn shudders and sobs, "I hate the ocean. I hate it."

Mihwen says 'don’t worry, just checking'

Shandor says, 'Okay, everyone's on, please, take us to your city.'

[Narrator] The leader nods

Celemir looks down at his side, bloody and bruised

Bashkar tightens the dressing on his arm

Fagan watches them, trying to make himself call out, but knows he was a stowaway and doesn't belong with them

[Narrator] The ocean folk delve into the water. They travel down for miles. The city is grand, the buildings seem to be formed of some magic. They travel down into a docking dome. 'Welcome to Baknith.' The leader says.

Bashkar looks around

Vaedron looks around amazed at the underwater city

Shandor looks around and gasps in amazement.

Bashkar says, 'Amazing..'

Jenn hiccups from her crying but looks at the city eyes wide

Vaedron whispers, "I have never seen anything like it."

Mihwen looks around amazed

Shandor says, 'Nor have I Vaedron.'

Fagan watches the others disappear and feels very alone and pitiful

Shandor says, 'Of all the things I have seen in my lifetime, this is one of the greatest.'

Celemir looks around speechless

Vaedron states, "I could really use some sleep."

Bashkar says, 'Me too..'

[Narrator] The leader nods, 'Follow these two to your rooms.'

Vaedron follows

Shandor nods.

Shandor follows the two merfolk

Bashkar follows as well

Jenn follows

Celemir sneeks off

Vaedron gazes at the city as he walks

Mihwen walks after with Lesharn who seems to be dreaming

[Narrator] The two lead them to another dome. They show the group individual rooms.

Shandor says, 'Thank you.'

Shandor bows to the merfolk and enters his room.

Bashkar nods, 'Yes thanks..'

Vaedron nods

Bashkar enters his room as well

Shandor looks around the grandly decorated room.

Jenn bows slightly then turns and peeks into her room

Shandor sits down on a bed, which was seemingly magically heated.

Bashkar ignores the bed, collapsing on the floor

Shandor falls onto the bed.

Vaedron enters his room and collapses on his bed, "Awww this is going to be a great nights sleep."

Mihwen puts Lesharn in a bed

Jenn sinks down into her bed

Shandor shouts out to the group, 'Get some sleep in these *great* rooms.'

Vaedron sets his staff next to him against the wall

Bashkar falls to sleep quickly

Vaedron falls into a deep sleep

Mihwen walks up to Shandor

Shandor gazes around the room. On the ceiling is a magic barrier, Shandor watches the sea-life swimming by.

Mihwen says 'just one last check' and puts her hands on his head

Shandor says, 'Look at that Mihwen.'

Shandor points to the view.

Mihwen says 'you seems to be okay'

Mihwen 'goodnight'

Jenn walks over to where Shandor and Mihwen are.

Jenn wrinkles her nose, "Anyone got change of clothes?"

Shandor says, 'You should go to your room and get some sleep.' He notices her glare, 'Yes, yes, I'll get some sleep too.'

Shandor says, 'I'm sure the merfolk could help.'

Vaedron snores loudly as he sleeps

Celemir steps out of the shadows

Shandor says, 'I do have one question; what are you doing in my room?'

Mihwen looks at Jenn, ‘sorry all my clothes was with the ship’

Jenn winks at Shandor then leaves waving at Mihwen and Shandor

Celemir says "Merfolk aren’t big on clothes, might get some sea shells but no clothes"

[Narrator] A merfolk looks into each room with backpacks, he puts down the backpack belonging to the owner of each room. The backpacks contain all of their items..

Fagan drifts, occasionally swimming out and snagging some piece of flotsam and taking it back to his piece of wreckage

Shandor says, 'Hey, it's my stuff!'

Jenn looks to the merfolk..."Um... I'm sorry to bother you, but.. have any clothes I could borrow?"

Mihwen shouts' i got some spare clothes

Vaedron is awoken by the merfolk, but quickly falls asleep again

Jenn smiles and walks over to Mihwen

Celemir takes Cutpurse out of his bag and sets him down on his bed with another mug of milk

Mihwen says 'take what you want but not the blue dress'

Shandor drifts off to sleep at last.

Jenn looks apologetic and says, "Thanks, everything I have is torn."

Mihwen smiles as she falls asleep

Jenn grabs some clothes then goes to her room to change and sleep

Shandor breaths quietly, no snoring, as he sleeps.
