Session 2.18
General Summary
The group finds itself in the small sea port town of Omrith looking to retrieve the Baricon Ore that Fannti had carefully hidden adjacent to the historic Omrith lighthouse only to find that an earthquake had caused the cliff that the lighthouse situated on to collapse into the Bay. Looking to expedite the search Fannti had offered up his and his allies services to a Federation Exploration ship and crew known as the Lost and Founders(Founders) on Omrith Bay. This Federation crew was tasked with trying to find salvageable pieces of the old building. Rhorn and Zhorn, having aquatic capabilities and strength, assisted underwater to search for and bring up any remains.
While underwater Rhorn was visited a second time by the sea elf, Elaz-ul, who again petitioned for the party's aid to head to Reezmar and help him recover a family heirloom. Rhorn agreed, but requested they go the following day as he and his allies needed rest, as well as wanting to prioritize finding the Baricon Ore. Elaz-Ul reluctantly agreed as Rhorn held the key to the treasury. Nearby, Zhorn’s work was interrupted by a Sahuagin salvager who was scrounging for items in proximity of the drowned lighthouse. After initially giving chase, Zhorn saw that the contents of the creature's pack did not appear to be the Baricon Ore so he let the creature go.
Before Elaz - Ul departed, he had provided the goliath brothers instructions on when and where to rendezvous the following morning. As this was going on, Fannti and Priestess Luna returned to the town to prepare lunch for the Founder’s crew. The meal as well as Rhorn and Zhorn’s effort were welcomed by the crew, and as such were rewarded with a day's wage of 5GP each. Afterwards, Rhorn and Zhorn spent the rest of the day scouring multiple sites of the lighthouse wreckage in an attempt to find the Baricon Ore, but were unsuccessful while Priestess Luna and Fannti had procured more supplies in town. At the end of the day, the party retired at the Water’s Edge tavern and inn, and shared information about Elaz-Ul.
Before sunlight the following day the group had met with Elaz-Ul at the buoy, and Priestess Luna and Fannti were provided this cigarette sized roll of seaweed said to help with the underwater factors of breathing, and swimming. Afterwards, Elaz-Ul had led the party to a secondary shelf about 200ft down where the light barely permeated the depths. The group arrived at an embankment that overlooked a temple shaped structure which was the Treasury of Reezmar. As the party scouted the area, they counted two sahuagin riders each on a giant great white shark, as well as two sahuagin standing sentry over the temple’s entrance.
Looking to distract the guards, Fannti had provided Zhorn the Deck of Illusions which Zhorn used, drawing a fire giant which immediately drew the interest of the two partols who immediately engaged. Their speed caught Zhorn off guard, who also attracted their attention before he could flee. The rest of the party came to Zhorn’s rescue managing to engage one, as the other patrol was fixated on Zhorn who immediately drew another card in the form of a druid. This only momentarily stopped the patrol before, seeing Zhorn as a more immediate threat resumed pursuit of the fleeing goliath. While this was happening, the group engaged the one that was distracted by the fire giant, but not before Rhorn and Elaz-Ul sustained some heavy damage. After a little while the first group was finally able to dispatch of both rider and the shark only to find that Zhorn was nowhere to be found as Zhorn instinctively latched on to the underside of the shark as to not be on the receiving end of it’s hand sized teeth. However, unbeknownst to Zhorn, he was being taken further and further away from the treasury and towards an undisclosed location, as the depths had turned his surroundings into pitch darkness.
Before entering the temple, Fannti had requested that Elaz-Ul retrieve their ally, and thanks to being hastened he managed to rescue Zhorn before he could fall prey to an even larger creature of the deep. Back in the temple the group had discovered that this first chamber was merely a singular room that happened to be well decorated by a series of portraits, to which Fannti sensed that there was a puzzle aspect to his surroundings which Fannti had solved. In doing so it revealed this path down to a lower level. Upon following the path the party found themselves in the chamber where treasury’s vault door is located
