Isida:

The tentacled horror, deprived of immediate prey, returns its attention to the only target remaining; the boat. There is a tremendous spray, a crack like muffled lightning, and the entire bow of the vessel disappears beneath the waves, leaving the shattered stern to slowly fill with water and...

"Deep in the sea. It is blood, I can tell, but of what I know not. Something great indeed must have been injured, and injured grievously, to produce such." It's Gargantuan, has at least ten tentacles, is impressively swift (at least half again her speed in human form), and can reach at least...

The flame and boiling steam sear into the creature's flank; from below, the beast is even more horrific, with several pairs of black eyes glaring out over beaky mouths, positioned haphazardly about the monstrosity's hide. The fire stinging it from above and below enrage it, and it plunges...

"If the river is fast enough to be difficult, we should take the bridge. It's a simple enough matter to follow the road from five miles west, and only return to it at the river."

"Where did they come from? They were born here, raised here, lived here; they are my kinsmen, fallen as they are, and the cause of which I cannot know. When the poison first came, and the first fell ill, I warded this temple against it; that is why I have not been corrupted yet, and for that...

The fire splashes against the target, far too large to miss, and seethes; in response, the beast pulls the front half of the ship entirely under the waves. Sumi is tossed overboard, but manages to keep hold of her bow, and her head above water. OOC: Damage dealt now totals

The old priest turns. "I had hoped for much the same; I fear that the two of us will have to muddle through this by ourselves, then. How long have you been on this plane?" ~ Anya's fiery breath again lashes the beast, but Sumi's arrows are unable to penetrate the thick hide. OOC: If Anya...

The acid which washes over the creature's hide appears no more to discomfit it than a bucket of water would affect a normal shark; the dragon's breath, however, shrivels a large patch of skin on its hide, leaving a foul smoke and ash. Sadly, neither Kira's missiles nor Sumi's enchantment find...

The violet energy plunges directly into the creature's jaws, but the creature's supernatural bulk mostly shrugs off the effects. A tentacle lashes through the eladrin's form as she darts in, but passes through the incorporeal celestial harmlessly. The negative energy of Anya's second spell...

Fairweather meets no resistance from the spell, but the density of creatures is enough that she is forced to brush one on entering. This sets the horde off, beginning to batter not only at the doorway, but the building itself, portions of which are unprotected.

The water itself seethes with both magic and venom, but the creatures radiate neither; the structure is warded by some abjuring field which, among other things, appears to be keeping out the toxin that has poisoned the rest of the sea.

The creature is nothing like anything Anya has ever seen; it resembles some aborted crossbreed of squid and shark, and is of truly gargantuan proportions. Six tentacles are wrapped around the hull and rigging, crushing the vessel, while another four pluck sailors from the deck and feed them...

Fairweather moves through the water, now feeling its corruption. In her elemental form, she attracts no lasting attention from the swarms of bizarre creatures which inhabit the city, most resembling that which had attacked her earlier. Dalamutha manages to stay unnoticed for much of the...

Light being provided, the Sea-Gallop proceeds downwards in an eery illuminated island; the echos of rushing water off the rocks only add to the feeling. The sailors take a toll of the losses; six sailors were killed or swept overboards, the captain and the paladin are missing and presumed dead...

I'll need to look at the character, of course, but I can probably find a way to introduce them. I've certainly got nothing against having more characters in the party. I apologize for not being more responsive on this thread; it somehow became unsubscribed, and I hadn't noticed until Thanee...

Silvermoon realizes that, even should she locate a sailor, he won't be able to steer the ship without light; the tunnel is, to those without darkvision, as black as anything they've ever seen.

Granite (and Skreg) see with their darkvision that, while the ship is mostly intact now, it may not last: there is no one at the helm, and the rock walls of the tunnel, while worn smooth by the flow of water, could easily shred the ship at its current speed, should it blunder into them while...

Gwyn ap Fomor, Half-fiend Mortal Hunter Isida:

Sorry about the delay; I moved into my dorm room yesterday, and I'm still sorting things out. I should be able to advance the plot fairly soon, for everyone.
