Jesper finds no documents regarding his missing employee. He does find a hidden log of a number of shipments, some with no purchaser listed, and a sack of 150 platinum coins, both poorly concealed in the headboard of the merchant's bed.

 

[Ghostknight]

Damn, now what? I need more information, and I'm not finding it here!

Turning to Domina, Jesper asks in fustration "Any idea where Anya is, if the two occurences are connected maybe finding these mysterious shippers of cargo will help lead us to the cause for the polluted sea?"

 

[Goddess FallenAngel]

Standing Jesper smiles at Domina.

"Then let us return to the portal and then to town."

He escorts her out the room and through the gardens. On the way through he quietly picks a rose.

"For you my lady, to remember your visit to my humble home."

She gives a genuine smile and accepts the rose. “Thank you, milord.” She tucks it into her cloakpin and steps through the portal.

Turning to Domina, Jesper asks in fustration "Any idea where Anya is, if the two occurences are connected maybe finding these mysterious shippers of cargo will help lead us to the cause for the polluted sea?"

“She was headed out to sea – let’s check the dock, I am sure someone knows which ship she hired.” Domina suits words to action and heads toward the with a bow to Jesper.

 

[Paxus Asclepius]

Anya and her companions, battered and beaten, abandon the fight and return to Reskevan. Anya will go to the Baron and report.

OOC: I don't know if you were waiting for a response on this, so:

IC: The baron is surprised and distressed to learn that such terrible beasts lurk his waters, but is unable to offer any helpful advice, and fails to offer to send condolences to the families of the deceased.

*Fairweather listens to hear if the creatures have stopped banging on the structure.*

 

[Paxus Asclepius]

Within half an hour, the sounds fade, but are not entirely absent.

Jesper and Domina are able to learn what ship Anya hired, but it has not returned yet.

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

Within half an hour, the sounds fade, but are not entirely absent.

*Listening, Fairweather nods her watery head.*

"They've tired finally. Osstraon? It's time to go. I shall carry you and protect you as best I can," Fairweather says firmly. If he allows, she will gather up Osstraon in her arms, and poke her watery head out to look for a clear escape route. Once she finds one, she will swim as if all the devils of hell wer chasing her, deep into the depths to search for the bleeding god, demon, or whatever else it was.

 

[Paxus Asclepius]

Fairweather emerges from the temple, her watery form slicing through the murky depths. The half-dozen creatures which lurk outside notice her after a brief period of time, and begin darting in pursuit, being driven forward in incredible surges as their tentacles lash the water. They are gaining on Fairweather for a time, until Osstraon prays desperately for aid. Father Ocean's power fills Fairweather's form, allowing her to keep pace with the creatures. It is almost an hour before the last gives off pursuit, and the sorcery fades soon after; only the elemental form's immunity to fatigue prevents Fairweather from collapsing to the ocean floor after the harrowing escape.
