We found ourselves still in that waterdark cave, exploring for the treasure promised to me by Jack Tar.
Stories later will tell of "Luce's raging chest".
Cass fell unconscious several times in combat, and almost died if not for Lord Rohrouk and Eragon. I killed the sahaguin priest in a fury, swinging its guardian shark like a club to knock its brains out.
From a ruined chest at the bottom of a pool, Avrios and I recovered 130 gold pieces, 54 silvers, and a gemstone of some value. There was a strange stick at the bottom as well, which Cass identified as the Rod of Fixed Uprightness.
Those were the spoils of our little adventure; we headed back as dusk fell. The night was quiet but the Fishermaiden was equally the same -- lively and full of good spirits.
Avrois, Lord Rohrouk, and later Cassandra spotted two unsavory types boarding the Snapper. Might they be linked to Sir Cedric and Cass?
Avrios tells me he was visited in his dreams by the Platinum Lord Bahamut, Drake of Justice. His liege spoke of "the navigator" and "the doom-driven", and to serve the temple in Forcalish.
