Unexpected Circumstances

Researcher: Dīca Dux
 
Research: New species, intelligent cephalopod
 
Report: New creature was studied. Seemingly common humanoid to above humanoid intelligence. Morphology similar to other cephalopod in the octopus category. Seemed agitated to being observed as most intelligent beings. When approached for samples, it jettisoned an ink in a defensive manor as expected of the morphology. Ink had unbeknownst magical properties and was able to use teleportation magic. Follow up studies will be difficult.
 
Journal: After coming into contact with the ink I was teleported and fell a considerable distance back into the ocean. I came to awake being pulled from the water onto a ship by a strange being. It seemed to be one of the mechanical humanoids, but this one was fashioned like that of a diving suit. He gestured for my compliance as I stilled after recovering consciousness. I followed along to try to learn my new predicament. I was ushered into captain's quarters and asked the mechanical man where I was. It didn't speak Vedalkin, I would refrain from speaking more until I am sure I am not within Boros' territory. There was an uproar on the lower decks, but I spotted a map on a desk. I seemed to have been transported approximately 6days of travel to an area near the Isle of Lingering Tears. The ship was headed away judging by the tools. Who I assume was in charge walked in and asked the suit man if I attacked him and told him to tie me up. He told me to be careful and to stay here, but I still have no idea the allegiance of this ship. I cautiously back out to where I would assume would be a balcony after he strangely offered me a rifle. The hobgoblin then cast a spell and sent a gust of wind my direction. I held footing and decided to climb over the rail and up the side. I crested the rail to find a bullywug manning a ballistae. I dropped onto the deck and whistled to get his attention off the main deck. He spun the thing around as several large explosion sounds came from below deck. I approached and he shot at me missing entirely. We fought a bit and I knocked him out before dropping down to the main deck again. A kobold stabbed me and the Hobgoblin came out and cast an acid arrow in my direction. I whacked the kobold away and took off after the hobgoblin and knocked him to the ground. He pled for mercy as the kobold managed to get up behind me and stab me in the side again as the hobgoblin pulled out a scroll and disappeared. A drake grabbed something and flew off and I was tempted to peruse, but I had to gather my bearings with the map again. I arrived back into the captain's quarters to find an interesting creature. It took the visage of an equine mammal with a singular horn in the center of it's forehead, a unicorn. The main difference was the incorporeal makeup of it's body reminded me of the flow of water. It was a stark contrast to the gore filled room. Since the body seemed to be of magic, I wasn't able to secure a sample and dismissed the creature's use. I updated my notes, and there was a call of another approaching ship from where the drake few off to. A loxodon named Carame, the Hand of Power. Someone fell from the crow's nest and I started to help with the rigging. We passed through the fog and out the other side without seeing them. On the other side was the Southeast tip of Cresaro.
