Session 13: Lizards in the Desert

by Cali Zendyr

We take a short rest and identify a fan and a ruby (gem of seeing). Wulf takes the fan so he can do magic. It casts "gust of wind".
 
Oani leads us to the lighthouse, where there's a cave we enter through. Quell graciously lets Wulf go in first. Ekanu's ghost {Loaka's father} is there, waiting for us. Wulf does the talking until Quell intervenes. He fades away after we give him the skull, and we continue forward.
 
Wulf rips a door off and then has to wait while Quell casts detect magic. Quell touches the water, and Wulf tries to catch a fish. He fails.
 
The box in the middle of the pool is magical. Wulf goes to get it, and drops it in the water on the way out, which sparks some sort of magic. Cali picks the lock to the box and they find a scroll, a gem, and a whistle cared from sheep horn. The scroll says "a broken heart can never be reborn", the same as the note Quell found on the ship except "broken" is "shattered". When they 2 crystals touch, they get cold. Cali keeps on shard.
 
"Wulf could be a BardBarian." He keeps the whistle.
 
Quell hums the tune on the scroll and Wulf tries to play it on his flute.
 
We go back up to Oani and tell her what happened. Oani wants to teleport us with druid magic. She says it won't be exact but will get us closer, hopefully. Quell shows her our map. Oani will try to get us to the desert first.
 
We go to a druid circle and the transportation feels like falling. We land in the desert at night.
 
Cali climbs the tree they land beside, and Quell makes a hammock in the branches. Cali falls asleep almost instantly, as does Wulf. Quell keeps first watch. When she thundersteps into the tree, Cali wakes up, startled, but quickly falls back asleep.
 
On Wulf's watch, a lizard with glowing eyes appears from the oasis. Wulf blows him back with the fan and decides to sleep in the tree with us.
 
In the morning, Quell turns rabbit into a black snake. Wulf is confused and has a headache.
 
The lighthouse is empty when we reach it. It seems rarely used nowadays, but in good condition. We break a trap door and a door with an alarm on it. Angry monks accost us and accuse us of murdering a village.
 
We're going to help them find out what did this, wiping out a village without leaving behind bodies.
 
While waiting for the sun to go down enough to be bearable, we chill in the lighthouse and Cali asks about the lizard being in the Oasis.
