We aren't paciFISHt

by Lunadris Marianath

The crew continues their battle in the depths of the throne room of the Sahugin king. We have dispatched the priestess and angered the king. Algar, Stilga, and Kalibek are all in very bad shape. We may need an exit strategy. We pushed on! With some key blows form Stilga and Algar, we wore the massive king down. Algar took a nasty blow that would have dropped anyone but he keep fighting. Stilga was able to get in and sever his massive head. We cleaned up the remaining guard and took a well deserved rest. While the group rested their bodies and wounds, Torrielle and I (relatively unhurt) searched the two remaining rooms. We found a sleeping area with tons of treasure and the other room held a comatose Captain Brand!! We thought she was dead back up by the trolls. She was within a Jellyfish that held air. We took a bit of time to investigate the jellyfish but eventually we cut her free. We were unable to wake her up but we decided it best to get out of danger.
After looting the throne room, we made our way back up and encountered Gaammaa, the water elemental lady from the Prism of Power of the elemental plane of water. She seemed pleased that we dispatched the king and his consort. "You have done a great service for the Prism of Power" told us. We asked her if she could help us out of the Tooth and Sahuagin city. She said she would but Torrielle was picking up real bad vibes. I warned her no funny business, which almost turned her against us but Kalibek was able to smooth things over. She led us out of the Tooth using air to turbulate the water around her, covering us in her wake. We escaped to the coral garden tunnel we made our way in from. Gaammaa bid us farewell and immediately plane shifted back to the elemental plane of water!! She knew how to do it! Before I could even ask she was gone. I will need to find some other way to find my companions.
We made out way out of the city through the tunnel, avoided the anemone, and got back to our ship. We set sail back to Crocodile Isle while we had the Doc check Captain Brand. Turns out she was poisoned and should recover with a bit of rest now that she is out of the water. I began the long work to identify the sevearl magic items. As I was going through them, I got to the staff which was definately a staff devoted to the Sahuagin god. During my casting of Identify, the staff reached out to me and interrupted me with a resounding, "NO". I am still not sure what happened, but I was unable to complete the spell. There is something very off with that staff and we should be careful. I laid out all the magical items we have and offered to the crew what we have. We will need tribute for Skuhonem but the rest should be split up for our adventuring needs.
