So on one hand, we're definitely in the Undersea now. On the other hand, we're naked and all our equipment is gone. Oh, and we're surrounded by part fish, part frog beings. And then behind them were three really big beings. All dicks. One of them dispelled Elodie's spell when she went to cast it, and we basically continued to piss them off by not letting them speak until all but Taras and Elodie were paralyzed by some sort of spell. Middle height: grey, bald. Shortest: pale white, sinewy features. Tallest and first that spoke, very dark brown skin and green hair. All dicks.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaanyways, there's supposedly a challenge here on the Isle of Woe. If we can get to the north western corner of the island and light the beacon, before making it back to the north eastern corner and climb to the Champion's Mount, we 'win'. What we win, who fucking knows. Also, these dicks are the Salt, Stone, and Sea fuckers that have been causing issues. Ikki and I flew up to try and get a layout of the island. To the north is rocky cliffs, the eastern shore is entirely the sandy beach we woke up on, to the south there is a swamp and lagoon, and in the center of the island is a bunch of jungle. Past the jungle is a barren area that's primarily dunes and little vegetation, before a mountain range. Can't see much past that but likely is more jungle.
Balasar, Charra, and I all dismissed our familiars. Unlike Ikki and Elodie, we have no way to recall them outside of the scrolls we must find again. Ikki and Elodie spent ten minutes trying to locate Elodie's headband via Locate Object but were unable to find anything in the mile of so they covered via the air. Balasar tried to recall their weapon, but nothing seemed to work. Well shit. Ai was able to use spider silk and banana leaves to make us some clothes, so us girls are all wearing leaf bikinis and loincloths at this point. Better than nothing, I suppose.
Charra is upset. I think one of the things that went missing is important to her. I wish I knew how to comfort her. Joka päivä hän kasvaa minulle. Vihaan nähdä häntä niin ahdistuneeksi. On the beach we were able to locate a number of items. Four clams, some driftwood, fist sized stones, a shell, some old copper coins, a rusty knife, a dead crab, three smooth stones, and a pair of damaged sandals. While others searched, Ikki had started making us a list of what we need to handle in this first day we have to prepare, before the inhabitants of the jungle are turned loose on us. Shelter, wood, stone, weapons, and holy symbols for the clerics was already on the list, but I added in that I could use an instrument to utilize as a focus. While some of us worked on checking two of the clams for pearls I might be able to use for Identify, Ikki and Charra retrieved 150 ft. of vines for us to use as rope. With Elodie on Balasar's shoulder, we started to make our way to the northern cliffs. Hopefully there would be shipwrecks were could plunder.
And plunder we did. Between two ships, we found half a skeleton, 50 ft. of rope, three barrels of fresh water, a barrel of oil, four bottles of rum, twenty four bullets, a captain's log, thirteen days of rations (though 7 are moldy), two glass vials, two hand cannons, a holy symbol, an iron pendant that needs engraved, five large nets, two packets of black powder, three sets of padded armor, a ruined set of leather armor, two axes, two shields, three tridents, three waterlogged books, a knife, a mace, and a sabre. Ai also found a blowgun with five darts, hide armor, a leather knapsack, and some coin in a crevasse in the cliff side.
We found some Kobold once we wandered into the jungle, and tracked them to an area they had a bunch of stuff in. With Lenna and Ikki distracting them, Ai was able to steal six potions, Taras' Pearl of Power, Balasar's War Banner, Elodie's armor, another set of armor, and a club. After the Kobold left, we grabbed the other items as well.
Following them to their base, we found ourselves at the camp of the kobold, Kua-toa, and Bullywog. Knowing they will attack in the morning, we started to make our way northwest. Finding an old and collapsing building, we made a temporarily camp for the night. Charra is still not back to herself. I'll keep her close to me this night.
