Crenshaw, Mick, Fence, Claren, Tharivol, and Mouse, Field Mouse make their way down the windblown steps in the side of the cliff. On the beach, they decide to head towards the northernmost of the two sea cave entrances. The cavern is filled with salty water; a strange bluish glow comes from under the water, deeper into the cave.

Between Mick’s and Fence’s attacks, Crenshaw’s and Mouse, Field Mouse’s spells, and Tharivol’s dramatic running into the surf and issuing commands to Aspen and Drake, the party tries to rescue Claren from the clutches of the kelpies.....

The Sojourner sails north along the western edge of Mistcutter Isle. Captain Telles the Red points out how most of the island has cliffs along its edge, particularly around its northern shores. As dusk sets, the party is watching for the mysterious “purple lights” that sailors have reported seeing.

Most of the party makes their way towards the Captain’s Rest, but Crenshaw heads down the main streets of the Hill and makes a very public entrance into the Hidden Rose. He then sneaks out quietly so that anyone watching will believe that he has spent the night in the Rose Hotel.

Early in the morning, while the rest of the party sleeps off their drinks, Fence walks briskly towards the docks in the western part of the Floating Keep. There he inquires into tattoo parlors and finds the empty station of Dirk Trujillo who is renowned for his Eldritch claw tattoos. 

Later in the morning, Tharivol goes to the Mountain Bank and inquires about deeds to land. He is looking to buy 5 acres along the eastern edge of the North Lagoon. Mick checks out the market and chats with other bards. Crenshaw, Claren, and Mouse, Field Mouse tag along with Mick. The Council and the Hill is indeed a pleasant neighborhood this spring day.

In the evening, the party travels back to the Lunar Academy where they meet Dean Gea Haunting.... and then there is a boat in a bottle.... 

Claren visits Professor Williams’ class with Mouse, Field Mouse. Claren discovers that Professor Williams is a bit bombastic and he’s obsessed with absences and tardies. Later, the party has Fred the Boatman take them to the Floating Keep District near the South Wall. They climb up from under the docks to reach the platforms where Sidharth Two Moons’ Animal Menagerie sits. There they meet Tharivol’s old acquaintance, a round little halfing, who is almost obscured amidst the animal cages and supplies. Tharivol finds familiar. 

Later, the party finds their way to the Lost Wolf Tavern, where Mick performs brilliantly for four hours on stage, and secure an audience with Yanze Mukherjee and his three lieutenants. 

After resupplying in Merport, which includes Tharivol scoring not one but two suits of magical glamoured studded leather armor for him and Mick, the party turns south towards Lake Blanc and Ward. Their two week journey takes them back through Woodwall and onto the sailing sloops that ferry passengers up and down Lake Blanc.

From there they cut over land and through the mountain passes around Lake Skaladium. The last leg of their journey is by boat down the Dar Bou River. They arrive in Ward, “The City of Stilts.”

An animated treasure golem has flung its serpent body across the cavern and is in the corridor among the adventurers. Tharivol, Mick, and Crenshaw are on one side and Claren, Fence, and Fitz are in the room with the large puddle. Fitz’s ice mephit death burst has pushed the golem over the edge and stilled the construct for good. How will the mop up? What awaits them on their return to Woodwall?

Party went west and found a pile of bodies…. Crenshaw is certain one of them is Tampani Meadowlark and perhaps there is also one that looks something like Ged on the top of the pile…... perhaps....

Soo-Ree darts ahead of the party, scouting. Immortalia and Seithr form a shield wall and lead the party’s advance. Immortalia, under a suggestion spell from the yuan-ti, engages in a parley.

The yuan-ti lead the party further into the tunnels.... more conversations and then the yuan-ti strike swiftly and with surprise at the party….

Combat with the lizard folk and yuan-ti malisons.... the party pursues the retreating group across a narrow bridge over a deep pit.... Quinn rushes ahead in pursuit of the retreating enemy. He slips and falls sixty feet into a dark pit filled with swarms of snakes...
