	As of the week before the Guild meeting, there have been no sahuagin spotted although there is a possibility that there may be isolated pockets in deserted places on the plateau as well as the deeper areas of the side of the plateau as it plunges into the deeps. The sunken city of Atlantis, located at the northern tip of the Pasifikan Plateau and just north of the ~~sahuaginb~~ city is being used as an operations base to keep an eye on the northern regions in case the sahuagin decide to return.

The sunken city of Atlantis, located at the northern tip of the Pasifikan Plateau and just north of the sahuagin city is being used as an operations base to keep an eye on the northern regions in case the sahuagin decide to return.

	The sahuagin city has been left alone for now as efforts have been directed into cleaning up the mess. Several thousand merfolk and aquatic elves as well as a few hundred islanders are still missing, presumably eaten. There are plans to explore it later and make sure that the sahuagin haven't left any nasty surprises behind. They are however, quite sure, that no prisoners have been left behind. An expedition is underway to the northern ocean to rescue any captives the sahuagin may have taken with them, and also to find out what is up there. All that is known so far is that it is mostly deep ocean with seamounts scattered about, some high enough to be islands. There are also black smokers and active volcanos.

Urgent action was required, since it was likely some of the captives would be eaten. Unfortunately she forgot the list of missing, especially the important people, but under prompting from Grendel (& the offer of a "helpful" ''Hypnotism''), the list was reconstructed.

	On nearing the portal site and dropping speed (due to spell/height restrictions, we could only go through the portal at about 2mph), previous visitors noted that the "key" (the cross-piece of the Trilithon) to the Pasifika portal was missing. There was no visible ambush, but Starflower's ''Finding'' indicated roughly where it is hidden and, through ''ESP'' sensed thoughts of Avarice in the area, although nothing came up on ''Telepathy''.

	Our opponent is a Necromancer, not hiding in a ''Dark Sphere'', as first thought, merely in a Rk20 ''Darkness'' ... but it also has an undead army in the lake, protected by a black-circle type effect. Moreover there are two Necro wards on the trilithon area (''Wall of bones'' & ''Mass Fear'') and too many ravens above it. Starflower turns into Drake-form, to better frighten and chomp the birds and then scour the area. Suspiciously, one bird does not scare! And it takes the mighty Drake several pulses to defeat it.

	The advice from the three Master Mil-scientists is instead to do nothing; they will just interfere in the rescue & get killed. But we can't tell them that; so, if they insist, there is a safe diversionary plan of attacking both the Sahuagin on both the E & W sides of the island (Cliff of Heroes & Itimanuka Bay) 150 miles from the real action. For verisimilitude, Grendel considers summoning a Kraken on one side & a giant squid to the other ~~â€¦~~ or actually does it (?) — the details are mostly irrelevant to the main mission.

	We quickly DA-ed some of the loot and reshaped it into a 1-hex carroch that Grendel directed (''Mage current'') so that nearby party-members would be automatically swept along at speed. The only entrance to the level below was a valve of Diatoms/Coral shaped like a scallop shell, which Starflower eventually opened. Beneath was a 40' shaft straight down (1-hex across) to a small alcove debouching onto a larger room 25'x25' with a suspiciously dark corridor at the far side. Since the current of our opening the door had probably been sensed, Human-the-Fool's projected image appeared at the bottom of the shaft whilst the highly ''invisible'' (E&E Rk 16) Starflower swam down, aiming to professionally "surprise and neutralise" the single sahuagin guard (a mind-mage). While Human & Starflower took on the guard, the corridor's Rk 20 ''Darkness'' was ''Dispelled'', revealing sahuagin fighters in front of three-mages who attack us with ''Blackfire'' & ''Slowness''. Velcanthus, the obvious target, being a mage in a bubble of air, was both slowed and damaged enough to pop his 12-point ''Circle of protection'' & still do damage. Conversely the targeted sahuagin ALL resisted Grendel's ''TK Rage'' cone as he flowed towards the enemy, whose fighters counter-charged Human, Grendel, and (unbeknownst) the invisible Starflower.
