[QUOTE="Iron Sky, post: 4793569, member: 60965"] Session 20, Part 2 After two-and-a-half days of uneventful travel, Kormak called from the turtle's head where he was on watch. “Might want to check this out guys,” Suniel set down the spellbook he was reading and headed towards the dwarf, trailed close behind by the others. “Those look like the pods that stuck to the side of the ship,” Kezzek growled. “I think we're here.” “I think so too. Look, I think that Locath is waving at us,” Suniel said, pointing out one of the turtle's eye-windows. “Turtle, head to the surface. Open up once you're there.” The turtle complied, angling up and rising slowly towards the shimmering blue surface. “I don't know if I'll ever get used to looking [I]up[/I] at the surface,” Kezzek said. “We are almost on top of the Stone, only a few miles away,” Keeper whispered in Suniel's ear. “I can almost taste it.” Suniel gave the construct a questioning look, but Keeper was staring out at the water with the others. A few minutes later, they were standing in the turtle's open mouth, staring out at a cluster of Locath that sat in the golden path the rapidly setting sun made across the waters. “We come to speak with Underdakl,” Suniel called out to them. The Locath bobbed and stared at them and their turtle. “He may want to meet with us, I speak for the Crystal Towers,” Harold shouted. “How do you know it's a he?” Kormak said. Harold didn't reply, nor did the Locath. “We bring him a gift,” Suniel said, causing the others to glance at him. At that, the Locath looked at each other, then one raised a webbed hand in their direction. “I think they want us to wait here,” Suniel said. “Yeah, so they can find a shark big enough to swallow the whole turtle,” Kezzek growled. “I don't think that's possible,” Harold said. Kezzek snorted. “I didn't think they got big enough to swallow me, but that was until that last one almost did.” Kormak squinted up at Suniel. "So, what's the gift?" "I'll figure that out later," Suniel said. With a splash, the Locath disappeared into the water. “Turtle, close and angle down so we can see them,” Suniel said, stepping back into the turtle's 'neck.' The turtle's mouth slowly closed before them. By the time it had angled to where they could see the Locath again, they were swimming straight down into the black beneath them. “I guess they're getting permission from their boss,” Kormak said. “I can just imagine them saying, 'Look what we found! Can we keep it?'” “Or, look what we found, how do you think we can take it?” Kezzek said. “Well, all we can do is wait and see,” Suniel said, walking back to where he'd situated his things. “Call me if they return. *** Four hours later, Keeper summoned them. A Locath face filled one of the turtle's eye-windows. It made some bubbles as if talking to them, then pointed straight down and began to swim away. After twenty feet or so it turned and waited. “I guess there's our answer,” Harold said. “It wants us to follow it.” “To meet Underdakl,” Suniel said. “Or to meet the mother of all sharks,” Kezzek countered. They dove rapidly, leaving the moonlit surface behind as they plummeted into the midnight depths of the lake. [/QUOTE]
