[QUOTE="MarkM, post: 8765640, member: 7025557"] [As a reminder, the Reavers are a band of mercenaries who became pirates after the last war between Risur and Danor. They perpetuated a myth of a teleporting ship that can be everywhere by secretly having similar ships each with a large man impersonating Captain Reiland in command. Jovan, the author of this journal, was captured by them as a naval cadet, and eventually did very bad things in order to "prove loyalty" and become a crew member rather than a slave. After he deserted, the Reavers tracked his family down and Jovan found them murdered. Jovan rejoined the military under a false story of having been a slave the whole time, in part to get safety, before being recruited to the RHC -- All this was player backstory. In this scenario, the Ob had hired the Reavers to provide protection.] Session 24 (6-29-21): [IMG]https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/E7UNEBxdfHMLuDCIBzLspdtATzGtQVpwcFTKI1qs1b54usMHmGW_UHj4b6fKutt8vDS0haEmgpWl0Qe8hotkvOLJ3wg3-uhE_S0ZW0g6SVppR5aarYuDhSvEJUxj8yK46VSf3VBgk2ZYY1UVyBNjFFJ4jjenz8Bq1bGn-ML0M4CmyZIGRDMyP0kC[/IMG] After much discussion, we decided the best course of action was to send Bell’s and my familiar on a stealth mission with alkahest to try and sink the Reaver ship. I cannot express that this may have been the most successful mission in the history of our time together (all of DND). The octopi made it successfully into the ship and dumped their payload before death. It took nearly an hour but eventually the Reaver ship listed to port and then sank beneath the waves. I can’t describe to you the feeling inside me. I played it cool around the others but… I was feeling emotions I haven’t felt in a long time. Elation. Satisfaction. Empty. It was everything.

There were enemies using diving bells to work down there without air. They saw us coming and a battle ensued. Besides just Reavers and their captain (a Reiland fake named Bernard), there were mages who were a problem. But, we held them off until one of them walked across a seal at the entrance to the ziggurat and several fish creatures as well as an elemental came out. At that point, we were all of the same team and we tried to close the portal. It was successful, albeit complicated, but Bernard ran off in the confusion. I made my way after him while the others finished closing the portal and finally caught up to him at the surface. He thought he was going to finish me quickly but I gave him more of a fight than he expected. I actually thought I was going to die but… strangely… I was ok with it.
