[QUOTE="Morrow, post: 4486318, member: 301"] [b]Sea Wyvern's Wake Part 3 (Garnham)[/b] From the journals of K. Garnham, Seeker as translated from the Valossan. I am in prison. The walls are the ocean stretching out to every horizon and my cell the confines of the Bronze Dragon. Less than a week ago a storm caught up the two ships of our expedition. When it had passed there was no sign of the Blue Nixie and no way to know if any of her crew or passengers have survived. Not even Lavinia. I have spent the past three days pacing out the length and breadth of my cell like any diligent prisoner, searching for signs of a way out; looking for signs of hope, but none have appeared. My mood is foul and I have separated myself from my companions to avoid venting my bile on them. I have been negligent in my journalling of late and will use this time to update events. Hopefully it will help keep my mind off things that are, frankly, beyond my control. After returning from Tamoachan the two survivors we depetrified were able to tell something of their tale. The dwarven woman is Ilsa Baldrick a warrior and member of Zelkarune's Horns. The human woman is a Witchwarden abjurer named Sabine Taskerhill, the fifth or sixth child of Kalmadar Taskerhill, Cudgel District's representative on the Dawn Council and quiet possibly the richest man in Sasserine.

Taskerhill has some knack for alchemy and believes that she can use the basilisk liver and eyes recovered by Liame to make more of the depetrifying paste.
