General Summary
1305 - 2nd Moon of Spring (Lamlar) 8th Day
- Magmabrew and Alethra attempt to make a Draft of Smoke in Magmabrew’s dimension space. It failed spectacularly after 2 natural 1’s.
- Li and Roth bond over alcohol, Scarlett uses the ring of water walking to attempt to gather some crawfish.
- Dwarvish practice and viol practice continue for Roth the entire trip on the river boat.
- Party sees some alligators following the boat from a distance, Roth casts Chill Touch on the lead one, causing it to drive under the water and fall back.
- Scarlett then casts Speak with Animals and learns that allligators are looksing for food, and when Scarlett asked about catching on, was discouraged by the crew to NOT attempt it.
- Magmabrew and Alethra attempt the Draft of Smoke again, it fails again, making a black sludge in the bottle.
- Calm Day, nothing happens.
- Short Stop in Dresden to unload people and cargo. No one gets on the boat here.
- Those on the top deck spot 2 Giant Toads approaching the ship, Li jumps into the water in an attempt to quickly get to the Toads.
- Ari yells at the Toads to go away, with no success and Alethra jumps off the top deck using her gust ring to land on the water level near the toads.
- Scarlett jumps off the deck with her trident and lands on the top of the toad, while raging.
- Ari flies down, and Roth does a swashbuckling back flip to get to the lower deck.
- The swarms of poisonous snakes take down 2 crew members, and the party is able to take out all 5 swarms and the 2 Giant Toads. They are able to heal/bring back the 2 crew members, and Albrecht owes a debt to Ari, and Clas owes a debt to Roth.
- Magmabrew arrives to survey the damage, slightly sad she missed the fight.
- After the crew is healed/fixed. Scarlett goes to walk to water and collects the body of one of the Giant Toads, presenting it to the cook, who is delighted with the fresh meat, and give Scarlett several cookies/pastries.
- The Toad meat makes a wonderful dinner.
- Stop in Hamlet for a shorter time to unload cargo and some passengers.
- Roth sends a message to Vidalia about getting around Brazenthrone, suggesting he will need a good guide or a clan stone to get out of the visitors cavern.
- Calm, nothing interesting happens.
- Restful day. Ari practices her songs in Dwarvish based on the folklore she has read. Scarlett takes out Philip to walk him around the boat and get him some time out of the necklace. Alethra is intrigued by where this octopus came from, and follows Scarlett around, sketching him.
- The boat stops in Essen to unload all but the last of the cargo and passengers. The only one left is a professor studying at the end of the route.
- During dinner time, the boat rocks twice, as if being hit on the side.
- The crew and boat go out on deck to see two giant Crocodiles attacking the right side of the boat.
- The party attacks, attempting to hit the Giant Crocs. Roth casts Shadow Blade and Scarlett casts spiritual weapon. The spell to blind them cast by Ari failed. One Giant Croc took a lot of damage and swam away. The second was able to bite/grapple Roth, but before he was crushed, the Giant Croc was killed.
- In a move that would have make John Wayne proud, Scarlett was able to lasso the Giant Croc body (with help of Roth's mage hand) as it floated by and dragged it up on deck.
- Alethra and Roth were able to perfectly skin the hide, with 75 lbs and at least 20 sq ft of hide, all in Roth's bag of holding. The cook was pleased with more fresh meat.
- Alethra and Li leveled up to 8.
