Session 22 - The Mainland

General Summary

47th Rainfell   The adventurers return from their activities unharmed- all but Ila. Ila, in her drunken stupor, decides to stagger down to the shore of Akuma City to go for a swim. She manages to make it there, casting Water Breathing and beginning to swim. She swims out until she stumbles across a small underwater mountain with a cave. Going in, she is ambushed by two grotesque Sea Spawn, transforming into a bear and managing to kill them.   After swimming back to shore, she is confronted by a bunch of men who believe her to be a witch (after seeing her transform from a blood-soaked bear into a human and swim ashore) and she just manages to evade them.   48th Rainfell   The next day, the adventurers all breakfast together. Flint hears of the Fight Pits and goes to the Bloodsoil Arena, where he flawlessly wins two fights, reaching Tier 3 in the Kotoxi Fighting System. Meanwhile, Panser has a relaxing day, as does Elxis and Ila.   The day after that, the adventurers finally decide to make their way to the mainland. They try to get a passenger ship, but find those to be guild-specific, so they have to take a boat with a very perfectionist half-elf glassmaker for a few gold pieces.   51st Rainfell   Two and a half days later, they reach the mainland, being accidentally bumped into by the Cerian's Castigators' ship, who power on by, before finding a spot to tether to.   Now on the mainland, the adventurers buy horses, travel across the city and rent houses near the Coralside Cove- Geoffrey's group rent their own modest house and so do the adventurers, choosing a 1-level house not far from the water to rent. They fight over who gets the best rooms and eventually sort that out.   After sorting out accommodation, the adventurers head over across town to meet Akio for dinner at the fancy Silver Mollusc restaurant, as Arkud had organised. Akio takes well to meeting Panser and Elxis, however, is apprehensive about Ila. They stay up late eating and chatting and return to their homes at around 1 in the morning to sleep.
