Session 78: Disppointment & Diving

General Summary

  It was Chari, a few days after encountering the undead leviathan, that first spotted the pod of mermaids frolicking below the ship. The enormous creatures were friendly enough, though none of the party were able to understand them. The skyship followed for a time until breaking off to find Zaahir Mara'hidand her Wave Riders.   The location was deserted. Icebergs floated idly where a fleet should have been. Sensing trouble, Bart flew down to investigate. With a word, he dispelled the illusion covering the wreckage of the Wave Riders. The Dragon Punchers picked through the broken ships searching for survivors, but found none. They would need to go beneath the waves to find more information.   They bid farewell to Tabitha, leaving her with the crew of The Hornet, and dove in. Deep below the waves they began to encounter the remains of buildings, turning eventually to villages, inhabited by strange, vaguely piscine humanoids. Nestled in the center of an enormous crater, the domed city Tilesía not only existed, but continued to thrive. The natives seemed on edge, but allowed the Dragon Punchers to meet with Sun, one of their city leaders and a mage of the Rippling Eye   Sun took in their concerns and offered assistance in exchange for knowledge to benefit the city. As Jinn related the extensive history of his family and nation, something finally clicked. On a hunch, he drove a dagger firmly into the woman’s throat, forcing her to reveal her true form. In the aftermath the group was able to enlist the help of a Tilesían scout, Cloud, to lead them to where the cult was likely operating.
