Session 80: Scallywags: A Pirate, a Mindflayer's Retribution
General Summary
The crew returns to the Call, well most of them, after a long week of work, trade, and mastery.
The lowest deck we have Noodles attending to fire elemental incubators and Nar, the blind hobgoblin wizard, meditating. The next floor up, between the wood pillars and masts, Chogim, and orcish brute loyal to Brimstone, and Horizon, an ancient Medusa warrior of Aikhon's conneciton, stand guard outside the brig of the Call. Chatulkik eats an odd large bug on the next floor up, and Gyc works in his armory, organizing for the future fight. Dosgratin and Kevdae sing and work in the Kitchen.
However, when they arrive on deck, the Scallywags as the sun goes down on the western horizon, Lady Sasha Delnoire , Pojin Saenbibas , and Mila, sort of, see that the shadows at the back end of the boat shift and move with the sun. Korgak and Tim, two attendants of Lady Sasha, break away from the others, and go to investigate for their Lady. However, they are soon, with Ilknar, Mila, and Roland following behind, ambushed by a group of mindflayers, who are shadowed with cloaks and armed as if they are trained assassins. Ilknar charges and swipes at the first assailant, but he is soon surrounded by a half dozen more, and they are able to stun his mind. He stands for many seconds lost in the fight and the combat. These assassins begin to use psionic abilities that attempt to strip Ilknar of his mind and being. Thankfully, Lady Sasha, Roland, Pojin, and others group up, and they begin to overwhelm the aberrations.
Lady Sasha kills two, like lightning, and others fall around Ilknar from Mila's magical wind strikes. This saves Korgak as well, and allows for Roland and Pojin to engage also with the throng of intellect devouring assassins, and this also forces the remaining leading illithids to teleport away, to another plan for safety.
They, well Ilknar, Mila, and Roland, most distinctly remember the fall of the Nautiloid above the 8th Bloom and the fight for their life. The captain of the vessel was able to escape in a similar poof and teleport. They also know from the brief telepathic bonds with these creatures that this captains seeks retribution for his lost gain, the treasure of the bloom that should have been his.
They gather after the fight, and they seek to know what else would be part of their hoard. They also take time to relax after an odd combat and execution of aberrations. Kevdae and Dosgratin come up from the kitchen, and they have a letter. Leaving the Horizon's Call details how Seren and her other compatriots, Reddem, Peanut, Mauro, Dupuis, and Scepsi, with Zenkara and Azare have bought their own boat to find their own horizon.
The day ends, with Sasha going to the Brig to read to the prisoners of her famous tale, The Scaled Chevalier. Only one former knight seems keen on such entertainment.
