Session 6: Stay or Go Report

General Summary

The party awakens on the south island and sets about securing much needed supplies. Hunting and fishing occurs, Kayrus makes an attempt to repair the damaged boat. Some of the party notices from the sky, an approaching shadow. As it gets closer Ronn recognizes the outline of an Aarakocra, a birdfolk. The bird, Krookk, seeks a bounty on this island, one who stole from his tribe and made off here some five years ago. The stolen treasure was a glowing gem not so different from the one the party located inside the prison of Xorjaradu, though a different color.   The party, newly strengthened by one, spend some time ruminating on all they have learned. Not even Kayrus, the most experienced with the members of the prison, has ever seen this Garukk. The reactions of the Kuo-Toa when they first bore witness to Krookk makes it obvious that they do indeed know and fear him as a confidant of Xorjaradu. They also know from the Kuo-Toa rebels that the island has already been here far longer than usual, and that the master must not have secured what he wanted yet, but it may leave at any time.   The decision is made to spend more time on the Mooring Isles. Krookk has something the party needs, a Seaworthy vessel (his folding boat) and the knowledge of how to get to Treland. However Krookk has no intention of leaving until the Skyshard (as his people call it) is secured and his good name restored. So they make plans to locate this Birdfolk. Ronn speaks to the rebels once more to gather information and make plans.   The leader of the tribe they have been staying with postures that there must be an unholy chaos in the center of the island with all of the prisoners having been released. He in confident in the strength of the 130 or so fighting Kuo-Toa rebels, especially as many of the mainlanders will be busy capturing prisoners and will not notice their approach. It will take some 5 or 6 days to diplomatically collect all of the tribes together, less if they challenge the leaders to combat and win the tribes over in the traditional way. They elect to try things diplomatically and set off around the island in Krookks boat.   The first recruitment session was very successful, gathering 30 more warriors. During the evening festivities however Kayrus and Ronn got into a disagreement that resulted in the death of Ronn's familiar and some lingering damage to Kayrus's gut.   The session ends on a long rest.
