QUICK READ RECAP Treasure is distributed and discussion takes place on how to possibly use the potions to aid the below water group in the data collection mission, if they only knew where they were and if they are ok. The above water assault group discovers the power of the previously discovered wand and tests it out by morphing Argo's war dog into a cow...and it works! Unfortunately, the noise the animal makes draws the attention of nearby sahuagin, drawing them into a fight that Tralaan nearly dies from! All the while, the under water group moves as quickly and as unnoticed as possible, as the place is in a flurry of activity with alerted sahuagin swarming the entire submerged portion of the complex looking for the mysterious visitors. The party stumbles upon a high level official personal stash, with Oceanus learning that the sahuagin big boss uses a highly controversial, and addictive controlled substance! DM SESSION LOG 150525 Spells memorized. Tralann - hypnotism, magic missile, invisibility, wall of fog, web Argo - 4x magic missile, mirror image, blur, water breathing* Karmadel: 5-1st, Cure light**, Endure Cold x2** (7-1/2 hours) /5-2nd /1-3rd Bless, Protection evil / cure serious x2, hear heart x2*, water fist Above water group moves forward... Aaron surmises the ring Bjorn is wearing is delusional, and that he is not invisible even though he seems to think that he is. Party opens bone tube to reveal a wand. Party surmises the words spoken by the dying man may be the command word to activate the wand, so they try it to see if it works. They successfully change Argo's war dog into a cow using the wand correctly. Cow makes loud noise. Sahuagin appear. Three sahuagin attack Tralaan for 11 dropping him to 4 hp of life. Shenjo moves to behind Tralaan and attacks a sahuagin for 16 hp of damage killing him! Tralaan flees combat and receives 5 hp of damage knocking him unconscious.

Aaron kills sahuagin with 13 hp of damage. Bjorn kills last sahuagin with 13 hp of damage. Kyra casts a cure moderate wounds on Tralaan for 8 hp of life. Party moves toward the west room where slaves are working, being beaten with whips. The see stairs leading downward into a submerged level. Below water group... Karmadel does not sense evil to the north. Oceanus finds and removes trap. Party examines treasure. Oceanus explains that the seaweed found in a bag is a drug that is very addictive and not safe for humans. He asks for the contraband to sell and make money as it is very expensive. Karmadel's sword asks 'Did someone give you permission to take all that stuff?" Balfon "If you don't like it, you can take a hike!" Sword says "I hear a lot of activity coming from the east" Party peeks through keyhole and sees a gigantic sahuagin boss seated on a throne, surrounded by many sahuagin. The party decides to retreat. Oceanus opens a coffer and fights a mean lobster. Karmadel makes a called shot to stab the priestess's heart for exactly 22 hp of damage killing her instantly.

Right on well done milord Karmadel looks like you just might make it out of here in one piece. It's too bad about the drugs tho you could have spiked them with something that might have killed or at least severely weakend the sahuguin leader. On the bright side now you can lie in wait outside the complex for the sahuguin that he'll inevitable send out to replace his stash. And it should be easy for you guys to pop him like a zit when he comes out to get it himself. Now what you need to do is to get out of there with your skins intact and report back to the others in your group. Failing that you need to send a message in a bottle lol just so that they know your dead or soon will be. You know like the castle arrrrrghhhhhhhhhhh! Gotta love the Python lol

I really think we need to go ahead and run a good 2 to 3 hours on the underwater group next session. I think we'll make more progress in ending the module at this point.

That's a great idea. I would recommend finishing up the 1st level, above water group first though, because if they choose to attempt to try a potion, under the assumption that it may convey underwater breathing to them, they stand next to a flight of stairs that descend downward into a submerged area, which, depending upon where it lies in the entire fortress, may join them to the other group, seeing that they are now on the second level. If the pursuing sahuagin find them where they are, the extra 'firepower' might come in handy....albeit under the affect of what a slow spell would induce, for those without free action capabilities. Something though might be better than nothing.

This is true, That might be the best choice in the end, we could if everyone is fine with it spend an extra hour or two to finish up the mod as well. i think (from memory) we're nearing the end of it.

Man i wish that i could change my spells a bit but alas i can't to this or i would change one of my 3rd lvl spells into another 3rd lvl spell called Locate Object range 60 yrds +10yrds / lvl that would be 330 feet and lasts for 1 rd / lvl that way i could locate the stairs leading up to the surface. But we'll get out and alive all of us, never underestimate the mad skills of yours and others toons.

you can, your a cleric, unfortunately having never seen those stairs, it probably wouldnt work, by the description.

Sadly not, but as long as we james bond it we should be fine.

Underestimate oh no I'm counting on them. And you can use that spell to find your party members too just make sure that they are carrying the item that you are trying to locate. It needs to be a specific item tho I believe the spell says. So a favored weapon or some such might be a good idea for your cleric to become familiar with. Just an idea mind you. But it's not going to do you any good if you don't have the spell memorized. Lol I do so hope that you guys find each other soon then will come the fun part waiting for rescue with a bunch of un happy sahuguin under your feet oh man I'm looking forward to that. NOT!

You know what armor i'm wearing Chris. so you can locate object it.

Paul in the description of the Locate Object spell it does say it'll locate stairs, and it'll locate anything that i'm familiar with and everyone is familiar with stairs going up and down lol. And no, i have no clue what your toon is wearing the only thing i know is the ring of protection that Tralann wears, and the +1 halberd & plate mail Bjorn wears. Since only my toon, Bjorn's, Tralann's and Oceanus, the only originals left from the party i started out with.
