The party found themselves exiting the Temple of the Reptile God via an ocean cave, a prudent gesture as GORAM noticed the chamber hallways had begun to flood with waters from above: THE CULTISTS WERE FLOODING THEIR OWN TEMPLE! Utilizing a BOAT, A BROOM, A RING OF WATER WALKING, AND A NECKLACE OF ADAPTATION the party was able to spirit out the ELVEN MISTRESS SILVERLEAR, A MERCHANT OF LANKMAR, and FOUR CHILDREN of the VILLAGE OF HOMLET. They hugged the southern shore, and landed in each of their unique ways and returned to the VILLAGE of STRIBNY, where the stoic elf ARGENTA refused to give into the demands of GORHAM. He did trade two dozen arrows to GORHAM for the highly valued necklaces of SET first found by GORHAM's late brother. The party decided the best course of action would to return the children to Homlet and head North to the mountains to assist MOGANI and his war against the WILD MEN. There traversed the fens once again, crossing stream and brook, the mud reminding them of their days underground fighting TROGLODYTES. The children, under the guardianship of GORHAM, were suddenly surrounded on their swampy saunter by a swarm of a spiteful species of INSECTS! Fortunately, the quick thinking ANNIKA, using her ability to CONTROL WEATHER blew the insects away with a gust of wind from her powerful spell! The party continued, North toward the Main Road, and The Village of Homlet.
