Elwarin? Dead. Us? Alive...?

by Creed

HOLY FUCK.
 
Aight, we got what we came for. Bookin' it outta this deep sea temple, the damn thing starts to collapse. So I just start cheering and jeering, right? Last tower we collapsed, we were IN it, fuckin' smack dab in the middle of Drow territory. Now that's two fer two, but also Eget's first. So I congratulated him on it, as collapsing a tower is now some shit new members need to be apart of to be IN the group. It's official. Well, now here's the other thing. We're smack dab in the middle of Fish creature territory. We fought these things around before getting to Elwarin, but now they were... released from it's hold? I guess? 'Cause these fuckers were coming out of the woodworks...wetworks...stone? I dunno. There was a fuckload, as we're trying to leave, I mean we were still trying to loot some shit, and I'm tellin' ya there were too many. The closer we got to the exit, the more there were!
 
So we did some magic shit, tons of illusions, and literal miles of underwater swimming as we pissed these fish people right the hell off. Up the small exit, and out the tunnel, Ouda had been working up his Sorcerer powers for something big. Our Dwarf pal just spins around, closes off the passage with a stone wall, and we just hear a bunch of slamming and sea creatures screaming. If I can call it screaming. It was more like high pitched gargling. But there were a ton that got out before we all could get safe, and they were on our tails. We just swam up, still chased by these things.
 
This chase was a pain, right? Like Jess is slowing down, everyone's muscles are gettin' strained. My damn cramps were cramping. I slowed down to match Jess, cause ain't no damn fish bastard gonna snag my friend. And all the sudden, she just starts going translucent! By the might of Vyocus, the damn girl scared the piss outta me! And I'm grabbing her armor instead of her hand, 'cause I ain't touching that shit, swimming both of our asses up to the surface. Guess what? A damn storm is happening. Just our luck, right? Fucker's raging all about, waves slappin' our asses back into the water, and our ride is there. The Elder elves musta divine'd that shit or something, cause she was sitting pretty at the right spot.
 
Now, we're all starting to get to the boat when Jess and I get grabbed. She flares some divine shit, and I straight up murder a fucker. The other one is in agony, so we start getting on the boat. Ouda goes big, starts swatting at these fishes. Now, imagine being at the beach and you start splash fighting someone, but they can make bigger splashes because they're bigger. Now imagine that with extreme violence. Big dwarf just swatting small lil' fishes around in stormy waters. I saw one go flying, and a wave come up, thing looked like it hit a wall and slumped into the water. Anyways, get on the boat. And I start like reverse drowning or something. Air? No good. Dunk my head in a bucket of water, and everyone is fighting these things off the sides while I got a bucket in one hand, my sword in another just swinging the damn thing around.
 
Get this... Storm stops, water just lights up on fire. A silhouette of a stag against the moon is lookin' down on us, and just runs off. All the fish people are dead, and we're good to set sail back to Ven Ethyl. We meet the Elders, and they tell us to go meet their Deity. Like, the actual thing they all serve. A fuckload of stairs later, which weren't there before, and we're lookin' at the damn thing that stopped an entire storm dead in it's tracks and lit WATER on fire. The thing looks... Insane. And we're about to talk to it while everyone's on death's door without a wink of sleep, after swimming around an underwater ruins maze of fuckery. We're the most genius group of adventurers ever.
