Session 74: Scallywags: The Rainbow Island Never Seen

General Summary

36 hours go by as the Crimson Fleet first comes upon the mysterious island. In that time, Aikhon crafts some bombs with Vumpesh, and he talks with his silver-scaled brother over their new family dynamics. Vumpesh should be an advisor to Valentah aboard the Unshackled Horizon. The copper dragonborn also looks into how he can better serve and use Frierdiem, his draconic friend he got back from the hags south of Feon. 
Ilknar learns Infernal from Nethpione, mastering it through one final scavenger hunt aboard the Call. 
Lady Sasha has Korgak, her new orc servant, and Roland try on their new suits. Roland later finishes a muzzle/leash for Aikhon's inevitable craziness. 
Mila begins to theorize a new spell. 
However, nearing the 30 hour mark, they get word from the Redwin and other scouts they sent such as Deoy, Teyos, and Peanut, that the island is heavily forested, and that there is a rainbow light that erupts and then emanates from the center of the island. They also find much Orc paraphenalia, and with Auna, Mercou, and 76's explanation, they see this could have been claimed by some orc clan, and they are using this newly created and found island for coming-of-age rituals. Nearing the end of this debrief, six pixies, alight like fire, beeline toward the call, and they ask to speak to its captain. 
Brimstone defers to his brother Aikhon, and Aikhon hears from their translator that the pixies have been waylayed by orcish poachers, who slay the divine creations. The boars are here to serve as vessels to a prophecy of a great creature to be born through them, on this island. The crew readily agrees, for their here from this fae that these rainbow geysers may also be magical fonts tempering and playing with the weave of magic that envelops this plane of existence. 
It takes them only a few minutes, less than an hour, to come to the center of this small island. They soon are met with another orcish horde and its leaders trying to hunt and claim the magical boars. The pixies sing, and the geysers react, summoning a fiery water elemental, and many steam mephits. As these creatures explode violently upon death, the crew maneuvers around them, more to the east, where the orcs have chased and cornered the two remaining great boars. The young horde charges in and slays one boar, but another escapes. The pixies are too far away, distracted and two destroyed by mephits. Lady Sasha marches forward, and Roland jumps thereafter, as one orc druid casts a plant growth spells to slow the march, and Mila uses an arcane gate to fling an orc across the terrain. Ilknar trudges forward, and Teyos, Auna, 76, Mercou, and Nethpione follow their after. 
Aikhon and Saerah are able to cast a dimenson door, and soon the eladrin warlock dominates the mind of the orc druid, the seer of the tribe, and Aikhon persuades its leader to stop. It helps that nearly simultaneously, all the other mephits explode, and the water, acting weirdly, like snakes tryinng to slam the Scallywags about, the red geyser shoots a strange creature in the air. Whether by luck or fate, it lands in the arms of Roland, and it speaks of its purpose to be here, of dragons, but not a human, of a wrathful gnome, of a son of giants, of a Lady Snake, well no? But close enough, right? Close enough indeed, the strange celestial George confirms. This celestial event, but some magical domination to be sure, help sway the orcs, for they also were soon trapped inside Mila's invisible forcefield, a dome barely large enough for the young orcs. The boar died, but George sees this as a means to him being here, and the pixie's, teyos, and others lay it rest there after. The orcs part ways, leaving the island be for now, and George volunteers himself as the newest member of the Crimson Fleet. The Wall calls to him. Divine purpose has his soul. 
Mila stays behind to investigate this arcane, nascent, and rainbow filtered font structure, these seven geysers titilating with magical energies. She finds they could imbue her book, harness her prowress as a caster for the forseeable future, but the crux of the eight schools of magic centers on necromancy, as the human empire to the east. If left, it will grow in power, but more than likely at dire consequence to environment around it. If taken now, new spells, new power, would be at her finger tips. Yet, she walks away. 
Aikhon brings George back to the Call even with his volunteering. They much to talk about.
