Session Thirteen: The Sea Ghost
General Summary
The session started with the party in The Sea Ghost searching a crew’s cabin before going into the main cargo hold of the ship. Sneatcha found a compost bucket and decided he wanted to plant a magical bean he had found. Sneatcha stepped back as the bucket began to rumble and the dirt collapsed into the bucket revealing a void. Sneatcha reached into the void and pulled out a leprechaun. The leprechaun was wearing a bright red coat which matched his red hair and beard. The leprechaun was not happy being pulled out of the bucket. Intrigued by the leprechaun, Sneatcha asked it where it had come from. The leprechaun angrily stated he was on the other side of the rainbow trying to find his gold when he was pulled through the void. The leprechaun demanded to be returned but Sneatcha told him he would only return him if he found Friac. The leprechaun questioned Sneatcha’s ability to return him home but Sneatcha claimed to be a grand wizard. The leprechaun decided he had no alternative agreed to find Friac and disappeared.
Friac still locked up in the holding cell saw a small floating light in the corner of the cabin. Friac watched as the light flew towards him. A pixie came into Friac’s view and asked him if he was ok. Friac told her he wanted out of the cage. The pixie looked at Friac and was happy she found the ‘Goblin King”. The pixie frantically told Friac she was looking for him and a friend wanted her to help the “Goblin King.” She introduced herself as Astari as she flew around the room. The leprechaun appeared in front of Friac. He looked at Friac and laughed at the condition of Friac. The leprechaun approached Friac and told him he was there to get his pathetic ass. Friac angrily kicks the leprechaun sending him across the room. Astari flew down and told the leprechaun to leave Friac alone. The leprechaun spins around and raises his cane at Astari. He tells Astari to piss off as he needed the goblin so he could return home. Astari retreated back and pleaded with the leprechaun to not harm Friac. The leprechaun tilted his hat back and marched up to Friac. He touched Friac and they disappear from the cell.
A few moments later the party watch as Friac appears with the leprechaun. The leprechaun tells Sneatcha he found his dumb friend playing with his pee pee with a pixie. He grabbed Friac but was disgusted by the fact he had to touch Friac after pixie love. Sneatcha noticed Friac was under some type of influence which caused his intelligence to be low. Sneatcha asked the leprechaun to return Friac to his normal state. The leprechaun refused until Sneatcha paid him a gold piece. Grabbing the gold piece, the leprechaun walked over to Friac and hit him with his cane. With his sense restored, Friac asked the party where his items were, but the party did not know where they were. The leprechaun demanded Sneatcha return him home. Sneatcha grabbed the leprechaun and threw him into the void. The leprechaun shouted out you asshole as he fell through the void which closed behind him.
Astari appears in front of Friac asking him if he was ok. The party was confused by the appearance of the pixie. Astari tells the party she was sent here by a friend to help the “Goblin King”. They begin to question her when Astari tells the party the bad people who hurt Friac are hiding in the cargo hold. The party decided they would try to get jump on them by having Cora cast an entangle spell in the cargo hold. Sneatcha made a small hole so Cora could see the area and she cast her spell. The floor of the cargo hold filled with thick vines with thorns on them. The party heard shouts from the cargo hold as Sneatcha runs in not affected by Cora’s spell. Sneatcha sees several drow entangled by the vines. He engages one the drows as the other fire crossbows and what appears to be a type of flintlock. Sneatcha is hit by one of the bullets as the bolts missed him. Sneatcha moves up to fight what looks like the captain as the other party members enter the cargo hold. Nyx moves up and engages several of the drow as Valna engages the others. Cora calls lightning and directs it attacking several of the drow in the room. Friac runs back upstairs in the attempt to locate his gear. After several more of the drow crew member fall the party, the captain and his second in command use a bead of fireball to commit suicide causing injury to the party members in the cargo hold. One of the explosions kills Astari as she came into the cargo hold.
The party search the cargo hold and Nyx find a keg of radiance in a crate. Sneatcha and Cora decided to search the bilge of the ship while Nyx and Valna searched a crew member’s quarters. While searching the crew’s quarter, Nyx and Valna noticed the parrot in the cabin started to speak in code. They determined a message was being sent to the captain asking him to locate the Emperor of the Waves which is missing. The parrot gives a set of coordinates before repeating itself. Cora and Sneatcha saw something shiny in a pile of garbage in the bilge. They entered the bilge and made their way over to the shiny object. They noticed it was buried they began to dig for the object. While digging they noticed there were several worms in the garbage. To their horror they worms began to burrowing into their skin. Cora cast flaming sphere which killed the worms on Sneatcha and Cora. They started to dig deeper into the garbage and realized there were worms below the waterline which the fire did not hit. As they backed out of the garbage, Cora cast a spell for to have a creature dig for the object. Cora and Sneatcha felt more worms had burrowed into their skin and they were making their way up the legs. As they became sickened by the worms, Sneatcha determined the only way to get rid of them is with a remove disease. Sneatcha and Cora scrambled to find Nyx. They cried out for Nyx’s help. Nyx hearing Sneatcha and Cora were in distress finds them. Nyx was able to remove the worms before they killed Cora and Sneatcha. With a sigh of relief, Cora returned to the bilge to find what was dug up. She found a ring which she picked up. Cora unfortunately found out the ring was cursed and asked for Nyx’s help removing it. Nyx used one of the potions she had which allowed Cora to drop the ring. Nyx used mage hand to throw the ring over the side of the ship.
Fraic finds his gear and makes his way to the Captain’s quarters. Friac fail to find an explosive rune on the door and when Friac opened the door it destroyed everything in the quarters. Friac then returned back down to the quarters below where he found the party. The party was filled in on what they had found from the parrot and decided to look on a map as the location of the Emperor of the Waves. They found the ship was located about a half a day sail from where they were located. The party discussed the methods of getting to the ship and figured they could fly out to the ship while Cora wildshape into a fish. Valna wanted to check and see if Barley was close. She pulled out the Map of Ao and focused on it. She found out there was a destroyer located in the area where the Emperor of the Waves was located. Barley was not close by. As she opened herself up Barley was able to communicate to Valna. Barley mocked Valna for her pathetic ways. He allowed Valna’s mother to channel him to speak with Valna. They tried to sway Valna but Valna was defiant to their advances. Barley left the conversation stating he knew where Valna’s goddess Mielikki was. Upset Valna was able to break the connection. Worried they were pressed for time, the party agreed to go out to the Emperor of the Waves.
The party found the Emperor of the Waves damaged and in the advance stage of sinking. Cora, as a fish, decided to swim into a hole in the hull. She saw several crates in the flooded cargo hold of the ship. Cora did not see four ghasts which were in the cargo hold. The movement by Cora as a fish attracted the attention of the ghasts which attacks Cora. The ghasts hit Cora causing her to lose her wildshape. Cora tries to swim for the hole in the ship when she was hit again by one of the ghasts paralysis her. Cora starts to drown as her body begins to float up to the surface of the water. Nyx, Friac and Sneatcha lands on the top of the deck where they see it is covered in webs. Sneatcha looked over the side of the deck and saw a dark form rising up from under the ship. He shouts to the others as several large tentacles breaks the surface of the water and begins to crush the ship. Sneatcha is able to avoid the tentacles and flies up off the deck of the ship. Friac and Nyx are hit by the tentacles and thrown to the sea below. Nyx was able to right herself and take to the sky as Friac sees the large sea creature begins to drop bombs on it. Sneatcha spots Cora break the surface and notices she is not moving. Sneatcha flies down and picks her up. Nyx flies over to help Sneatcha. They were able to get Cora’s into Nyx’s familiar pouch as three red demons with a half orc appear on the deck. They attack Friac in the water and Sneatcha. Sneatcha is able to avoid the volley of spears and shouts out to Friac they are leaving. Friac finally gets airborne and flies over to Sneatcha. Nyx worried the radiance will fall in the wrong hands uses the last charges on the necklace of fireballs on the ship. The ship explodes as the fireballs hit it. The explosion rocks the demons on the deck as they teleport away from it. The remains of the ship slips under the water as the half orc was able to hover in the air. He yells something at Sneatcha but is not heard of as Friac, Nyx and Sneatcha fly back to land. Inside the familiar pocket, the body of Cora lands on Valna. Seeing Valna is unconscious she lays hands on Cora healing her.
The party land at the old Gellen house to rest. Nyx lets out Valna and Cora from the pouch as Sneatch decided he wanted to plant another bean. He watches as a squirrel climbs out of tree and digs up the bean. The squirrel eats the bean and addresses Sneatcha. He tells Sneatcha he is Lucky the squirrel and he has vast knowledge of all things. Sneatcha asked for where a treasure was and Lucky guided him to a stash of acorns. They asked Lucky a few more questions but determined Lucky’s knowledge is limited to what a squirrel would know. Cora asked if Lucky would travel with her and he agreed. The party returns to their campsite to rest as the next day they were going to prepare for the journey to the Halls of Heroes.
