Full Notes

Adventurers Assemble

The party assemble in meeting room six, the one with the wobbly chairs, and make introductions. Theo, our employer, so appears - a young man who is dressed like a sailor, he explains he is from Sandspit and there have been dangerous aquatic incursions from a nearby portal called “The Maze” and he would like to stop these incursions. He has arranged transport on a boat that is leaving on tomorrow mornings tide, we can negotiate payment for our adventure with the locals at the Sandspit.

Under the menacing gaze of guild security we completed the mandatory paperwork with Arcadia volunteering as party leader, and Remel as both scribe and military scientist (and cook). The party then heads to casting chamber eight and the demonstrate unusual magics that have to each other; Elderan snowballs and lightning, Remels fog and Grimgrunks firebolts. Greaters and lesser are then arranged and we agree to meet for predawn breakfast before we head to the boat the next morning.

An expected Journey

Theo meets us at the docks and we all clamber into a row boat which moves by itself at high speed out to the awaiting ship. Looking over the side Remel see the watery face of an elemental staring back. We climb onto the boat and meet captain Jack, who has us taken to our rooms , and we head off. Splashy, the elemental, is propelling the boat and a two week journey only takes three days. Remel and Splashy spend much of the time talking about water.

Arriving at the harbour at Sandspit, Splashy guides the boat through a very unusual route, avoiding defences around the port. Sandspit is a thriving fishing village, the party are lead to the Donkeys Haven Inn, a prominent tavern, and introduced to the a mix of people from the Sandspit and Lake Town (The Boatmen). Edward, the assistant mayor, explains there are incursions into both the Lake Town and Sandspit, they occur every 4-6 hours end up in one of the two towns, that they are fighting off. The creatures are all aquatic, so far they have seen Merfolk, undead, squids, surigren and elementals. They would like us to go into “The Maze” and stop the creatures at the source.

Arcadia negotiates 15k for us to investigate and another 10k upon a successful outcome, as well as Greater Enchantments of R15. We need skill as sailors to help make our way through The Maze, and Theo provides us a special beer to enhance our skill.

Maze Runners

All the party awake the following morning wither hangovers, the previous night is a blur but we all know have skill as a sailor. Following a fulling breakfast from Remel the party head off on a skiff with one of The Boatmen, who will train us to navigate The Maze. We travel to the inlet, with cliffs towering on each side, and into a narrow misty ravine. The route we take defies logic, taking turns that should exist and travelling back on our route to find new waterways. At one point we hear Destinian voices in the distance , and the Boatman explains they wont return back to the Sandspit, having been told how, so they are been left without aid. We eventually find ourselves on a very narrow branch that The Boatman believed all the invaders originate from, and decide to wait to verify this is the right bath to investigate.
