Surveying our Surroundings

by Shyrene Windheart

After our conflict with the Yuan-Ti, we carried on surveying. We found a herd of Brontosaurus that we skirted and avoided surveying that block. Much settlement has occurred near the road.
 
At the end of the day, as we set camp, we noted the warning blasts from the Conch at the outpost and hustled back before darkness. The Seacliff shuttle had been destroyed and there were injured sea elves on the beach. While we rushed to help the elves, Umlilo noted someone atop his tower, which ended up being the ghostly Loxodon Monk from the horizon walker codicil. He warned Umlilo that the codicil was under attack.
 
We popped a water breathing scroll and rushed into the sea. Probably a bad idea as sharks, both alive and undead were patrolling the dark waters. Along with the sharks was a Triton Necromancer and a massive shark that paralyzed me with it's bite. After a difficult fight we made our way into the temple and took a brief rest to collect ourselves before moving in. We ran into another summoning bowl and a undead minotaur that popped out of it when we tried to destroy it. Umlilo cast control flames and somehow summoned a fire elemental, who then went through the portal to find out how to destroy it, but did not come back.
 
We found the loxodon's projection in the middle of the labyrinth again and he was confused, saying he didn't know there was a mage tower above this codicil and that he didn't contact us. He then told us to go to the bridge to speak with him. We made our way to the bridge portal and we found ourselves in a odd location with the Loxodon in person. He knew nothing about us or what we were doing there.
 
After discussions he (Jonathan) tells us that the plane were on is doomed to dissolve and suggest we use our advantageous locale to go elsewhere. Something happen and reality is unravelling in our sector of the universe. He tells us when the starspawn appear, it's time to leave the plane. We showed him the skull and he tells us the Yuan-Ti are working for the starspawn. The skulls open the gate for the starspawn.
