Scribe Notes
Session 1
Guild Meeting time and according to the Seagate Times there was some weird stuff going on in the Western Kingdoms so, when I found an adventure to go on, I was glad I had nan excuse not to get involved in that. Instead this involved a scroll that had mysteriously appeared recently and Guild Security wanted it investigated. Every divination they had thrown at it had failed and all they could determine was it was a call for help. The only thing they didn't do was open it as it would have activated its summoning magic.
After introductions, it was decided that Eidolon, the least experienced of us, would be the Party Leader and Minerva, the Military Scientist. I wasn't sure how but I got appointed as Scribe.
Next thing was to obtain Greaters and Lessers. Unfortunately Aaron wasn't available, so I joined the queue for a Herkum four area Greater.
We then decided to go outside to examine the scrollcase and it's contents just in case we opened up a dangerous extradimensional portal inside the Guild. From what we could tell, the scroll case had a composite magical aura, the Plane of Origin came out as Wavemeet, although that was more of a place than a plane. The case was made of coral and was not magically trapped, warded, or cursed. I was starting to worry that we were going to a very wet place.
Transportation and Hidden Script magical effects were also detected but there was still no idea of what would be triggered when the scroll case was opened. Lizette started a Divination which told us that Planar Transportation was involved and we were going to a spot where the Elemental Plane of Water met with the Elemental Plane of Earth and it was some sort of tropical beach resort. Maybe Guild Security couldn't get this information as they weren't actually planning on activating it but we were. I decided I better pack my swimsuit and beach wear - just in case. That would make Merco very happy. Speaking of Merco, he handed out some Mind Special Counter Grenados for us to use when needed.
Minerva decided to ask her spirit dragon about where we were going and it's voice spoke through Lila. We were told that Wavemeet was a holiday location and a beach town with casinos etc. Mostly inhabited by aquatic elves and the dress code was beach wear. It was also rather warm.
There were two pieces of paper in the scroll case when we finally opened it up. First was the letter requesting assistance because the writer believed their life was in danger and the second was the scroll itself. Merco read the scroll and we suddenly found ourselves on a beach. I had already 'dressed appropriately'.
The Letter: Oh dear Hero’s of Might
Or whoever can be scrounged up (preferably Heros)
I fear that my life may be at risk. I fear that someone I pissed off has my life in their hands. I ask for your aid. As incentive to come and help I have sent 60,000sp ahead with this letter to help in whatever you need to prepare to come to my rescue. I’ll explain more in person. When ready to meet me read the scroll out loud while stood in a 15ft space.
When we arrived, we found a group of people ogling someone inside a circle and, when we moved in for a closer look, we could see why. The entity inside was a female green skinned entity with horns who had some demonic ancestry. The GTN was 'tiefling'. Once the onlookers had been shooed away she asked who we were.
Lila - "Don't tell the demon your names"
Taking that advice, I went with my usual alias being 'Dawn'. After we had introduced ourselves, she explained her plight. From what I understood, she had a contract with an ice djinn but the djinn had sold her contract to someone else and this 'someone else' wanted her dead. She doesn't know who.
Just then another person stepped out of the surf. He looked reptilian with shark teeth and scales. GTN - Sahuagin. He said "Prince Gallain sends his regards" before summoning two water eloementals and attacking.
The fight was over in less than six seconds. While we were moving into position to defend the tiefling, Merco set off three TK Rage bombs which sent the sahuagin and the elementals blasting back into the water killing all of them. I had taken off into the air to get a better attack angle and was caught by one sending me flipping through the air. That was silly. I should have realised he was going to do that especially since I had seen it done to great effect on our last outing together.
Afterwards, as we recovered from this, the tiefling explained that Prince Gallian is a water djinn whom she had stolen from. The 'item' in question was a friend who had been captured.
