Riverboat Journey
General Summary
After finding information on the whereabouts of Taez's mother, the group decided that their best course of action would be to take a riverboat up the River Chionthar. Chartering the fastest vessel they could find, the "Our Lady of the Current piloted by a former adventurer by the name of Fatima, they began their journey at first thaw.
A few days pass, largely uneventful aside from the games of gambling that the other passengers started, before the first major incident occurred. A band of Sahuagin ambushed the boat twice, once at day and once in the evening, attracted by the smell of raw bloody meat being thrown into the water. Fatima, worried about who this might be requested the players to investigate this heist.
Running down the investigation, they discovered that two of the passengers were using illusion magic to disguise themselves as an old couple. During the journey, they were attempting to steal an item Richter had on them called "the Matrix". Restraining one, the other fled down belowdecks and freed the Efreet that was forced into servitude to power the ship. Blinking out of existence they managed to apprehend the other.
Then the next morning, the Efreet returned with a posse of slavers and attacked the boat. The group repelled the invaders, with most the ship kept safe aside from three former adventurers, Bale Barkhammer, Ron Rustleplow, and Whill Wistlewip who were taken to the Elemental Plane of Fire.
Now they are stuck in the river, the engine powering the boat dead without the Efreet. The closest place they can find fuel is Fort Morninglord, a place shrouded in mystery.
