2020/05/31: Underwater Exploration Report
General Summary
Knight, Ash, Pele, Terana, Sith, Drake
The crystal reacts badly with Knight. It feels like a violently upset stomach, and apparently is Knight's souls being pulled on.
There was a loud gong, and the little oozes in the cavern became much more intelligent and friendly. Several of them are now our pets/familiars.
We found the source of the gong to be a large bell, which seems to be the remnants of a temple to a deity of creation and the universe. The whole large circular room is wonderfully peaceful. Knight and Ash meditated there.
After meditating near the metaphysical bell, Knight feels much more calm, with his internal inventory organized alphabetically and his souls calmed down. He still doesn’t have quite as many as he once did, but he now has dozens or hundreds of humans in white uniform. Probably the navy crew he got from the octonazi ship.
Terana recovered an odd item that looked like a glowing UFO and was flying around inside the bell, apparently tied as the bell clapper. It turned into a common-looking buckler that identifies as a +1 buckler, but given its origins it’s clearly some sort of artifact. Probably will activate in the hands of a wonderfully good, peaceful person. (It’s probably Rodger.)
Met a ridiculously massive sea serpent. It’s unclear how long it is, but it’s at least several miles long. It grabbed our ship and dragged it to a summoning circle really far away. (It winked at Terana in the process.) The summoning circle is surrounded by what appears to be a fallen, submerged city.
The city is Indus’ fallen capital!
The big crystal is a knot of solcite that’s linked to the leylines. It’s linked to lots of souls. It’s extremely dangerous.
Lillith has switched in to replace Terana, who’s off doing something.
Rewards Granted
Artifact buckler, twisted solcite crystal
