General Summary
The game began mid-combat on the Inthane Isles, just after the Merrow priest had run away. The remaining two merrow were killed quickly, and exploring further, the party discovered a long man-made tunnel that might possibly lead to the center of the island. We decided to take on the final merrow priest who had fled to a submerged cavern.
Upon entry, we noticed a large octopus was in the room with the priest, and while Samuel attempted to tell the priest to stand down, they made it clear that they would not. The battle was intense, largely due to the octopus who was able to restrain most of the group, but we were able to defeat our foes in the end. Ner went down several times during the fight and returned to the tide cavern afterwards to rest and eat the merrow remains. The others took time to investigate the submerged cavern discovering some gold, the bodies of the missing crew members, and the mysterious Orange Crystal Orb that they had recovered.
We rested for an hour or so before returning to our dingy with the bodies. Ner had made a shield out of the carapice of the merrow, which we used to transport the bodies. We returned to the Tide's Breath, where the other sailors took care of the bodies, and we joined captain Kaylin Gell in her quarters to report how the mission went and to deliver the orb to her. She informed us that we would receive an additional 800 gp for retreiving the orb, and the session ended with a celebratory drink.
