Hunting For Pearls

DM: 90Leprechauns

Party: Yuki, Traains Weck, Arias Dreisari, Jack Tillerman
 
After a day out in the wilds, Jack sits on the edge of Liam’s bed and recounts his latest adventure.
 
Jack: “Traain’s asked me t’ help ‘im take Miss Dreisari t’ the pearl beds t’day. She needed t’ fin’ a special pearl for one a her spells, and Yuki decided t’ come wit’ us.”
 
Liam: “Did you fin’ the pearl?”
 
Jack: ruffles Liam’s hair with a chuckle “Aye, I’m gettin’ t’ that part, be patient. We headed out early in th’ mornin’ and Traains took th’ lead. We nearly got lost on th’ trail n’ we run into a couple a giant crabs on th’ way there but Miss Dreisari ‘s real smart ‘n conjured up an image of a giant seagull. Never seen crabs skitter away so fast. Traains was quick on th’ draw though an’ shot one of em while he was runnin’ off. He was in real bad shape but still livin’ so I went up and crack’d his shell wit’ me staff so Yuki could make us all dinner. We kept on our way ‘n Miss Dreisari brought along th’ seagull jest ‘n case we run into any more crabs.”
 
“When we got to th’ pearl beds, Miss Dreisari took a look at th’ water ‘n said she knew jest where we should look, so Yuki uh…stripped down dove into the water and started swimmin’ to th’ bottom. That’s when I turnt into a crocodile so I could breath under th’ water ‘n use me sharp teeth if it were needed. When Traains saw it was safe, he jumped in too ‘n we all got a good bit o’ pearls before comin’ back t’ shore.” Jack holds out a small pearl for Liam to see.
 
Liam: “Wow, cool!”
 
Jack: “We was all famished, so Yuki cooked us all up a seafood feast wit’ all th’ oysters we crack’d open ‘n that bit a crab. Then someone noticed a woman tied up on a rock out ‘n the water ‘n she was callin’ to us fir help.”
 
As Sara is walking by, she stops quietly to lean on the doorway and raises an eyebrow as Jack mentions the woman. Jack looks up at her with a mischievous smirk and continues the story.
 
Jack: “She was almost as beautiful as me Sara, ‘n we couldn’ leave someone out there in trouble, so Yuki jumped on me back and I swam ‘im out t’ the rock. Can’t never trust a beautiful woman in th’ wild though.” He says, looking back at Sara with a laugh as she throws a rag at him. “Soon as we got close, she turnt int’ a butt ugly sea hag ‘n lashed out at us wit’ her claws. Then another hag ‘n four Sahuagin popped up outta th’ water t’ attack us. I was able t’ get one a th’ hags caught up in me jaw fir a moment but she slipped loose pretty quick.” “Then Miss Dreisari started whisperin’ things to one a th’ Sahuagin’ that would give you nightmares ‘n it tried t’ run away. Made a big mistake though runnin’ close enough fir me t’ snap ‘im in half wit’ me croc teeth. Two a th’ other Sahuagin didn’ even know what hit em when Traains sent a couple a bolts sailin’ right into their chests.”
 
“Yuki thought it best we got out o’ their reach so he jumped on me back ‘n made us both invisible. That ole hag swung at where she thought we were but she missed ‘n they all dove into th’ water and swum off t’ fin’ more prey. On our way back t’ shore, I spotted ‘em under th’ water but kept goin’ so Yuki could get t’ dry land. Then the hag popped out ‘n musta seen the ripples I was leavin’ in th’ water cause she jumped out at me wit’ her claws again. Miss Dreisari started usin’ them terrible whispers on her though ‘n I was able t’ snap her up when she tried t’ run away. While I kept her still, Traains fired off a few shots that stopped her from squirmin’ ‘n the last Sahuagin popped out a th’ water next t’ us.”
 
“Yuki was able to grapple him and Arias persuaded him to surrender ‘n started t’ interrogate him. He was pretty upset that our ships was pollutin’ the water ‘n said our people made tasty food. He didn’ know anythin’ about the red storm off th’ shore but he did tell us where t’ fin’ the treasure from the Sirens in exchange fir lettin’ him live. We found a couple o’ fancy potions ‘n some strange orange eggs that Miss Dreisari took t’ study. Then we headed back here t’ get some sleep. Speakin’ a sleep, I think it’s about time you got some yerself.”
 
Jack tucks Liam in and smiles, picking Sara up in a warm embrace on their way out of the room.
