20: Angry Eels and Uncooperative Magic

General Summary

3rd of Ranma:

The morning is rather awkward and tense after everyone having their fears and regrets opening displayed in the Sprit Veil, but they continue sailing onward. The winds are more cooperative this day. Moonseeker attempts to speed up the boat by turning into a giant octopus. Phyrra spots something green and glimmering on the lakebed, maybe 300 feet down. As they approach, they see the remnants of an ancient green dragon, well preserved by the freezing water. Lyri dives down to collect some of the scales. As she rifles through the remains, Phyrra sees the corpse begin to move unnaturally, and a school of blood eels go after Lyri. Tannar uses major image to distract the eels, giving Lyri a chance to get a hand on the boat. The eels begin to roil and thrash at the surface, spilling onto the deck of the boat. After attacking Lyri first, they begin to ignore her and go after the other instead. The party lowers the sails and quickly pulls up the anchor, fleeing the swarm and sweeping the remaining eels off the boat. 
Upon escaping and taking a breather to heal, their spells begin to trigger strange effects. Sparks of force and lightning emanate from Phyrra, and Tebraen is sent flying a hundred feet into the air, before later falling the distance onto the boat, an eagle familiar clinging to his chest with a spare the dying prepared. He decides to drink after that. They anchor the boat for the night, Tannar and Lyri play music, and the others dance. 

4th of Ranma:

Snow began to fall overnight and a growing web of ice creeps out from the hull of the ship. In the distance, they can see small icebergs bubbling up from the giant pit at the lake floor. Unfortunately for them, the magic in the region continues to unravel and Moonseeker is sent smashing into the cabin ceiling, and their companions get some nasty elemental shocks. They successfully navigate through the ice field without the boat taking any damage. The Crescent Isles come into view and they see the mostly intact tower of Lillian Moonfall in the distance, maybe 6 miles inland. They decide to sleep for the night.
5th of Ranma: The party wakes and prepares to make landfall. They are surprised to learn Lyri, Seti, and Penny have every intention of entering the island with the party. The four of the main party start towards the island in a rowboat as the other three follow on the back of Penny (currently a horse due to the magic of the beast lands once again striking).
