Sight distances are half due to pressure, things floating in the water, etc. I would say underwater combat rules are in effect but you have a swim speed Toz.Jasper, “Shall I tell the cops you will be right down.”Poppy, “Yes tell them.” Most of the group decide to take the stairs down to the buffet but Toz jumps out the window to enter from the front door. As he makes a three-point landing, he sees Private Pyle waving over the crossbow he has zeroed on him. Sgt Carter lets them eat breakfast before the squad of Hand of Ord escorts them to headquarters.At headquarters Lt Needlemire publicly yells at them for destroy the pawn shop, burning down a tavern, and letting elephants be in the room. After he closes the door, he questions them about their activities. He thanks them in getting rid of the fencing operation. He also extends a helping hand to the group.When they return to Lap of Gods, Team Ayo is there but is missing Irvan. Team Ayo nearly lost Irvan due to some the fish life in a villa in Cael Morrow. Irvan did lose an arm but an artificer is working on replacing it. Ayo has stolen some regular explorer badges out of the Alliance goods. They also give them two copies of a map with locations they been to.The next day the high curator Jamil gives them a mission to contact the Aboleth in Cael Morrow. Kill or make friends with it. He reissues them their newbie badges from the Allsight. They thank him and tuck the badges away.As they head of Cael Morrow, they swap out the badges and make plans. They buy a pie for the Orc at the entrance. Listening in to conversations at base camp, they wait until Professor Insight leaves for an upper floor before walking through base camp. They pretend to do some clean up at the Royal Guest House before entering the water at the library.Poppy is possessed by an orc ghost and Gaisma is nearly possessed. These ghosts were royal librarians in Cael Morrow when Alyxian and Gruumsh battled. They died when Gruumsh speared the library. Only the clay recipe books about pies survive. If they group get the books to safely, they can pass on. The group agrees to the request. The orc ghost mentions the temple is nearby.Team Mayhem do mayhem to the statue of Corellon. Well actually the group let the barbarian have fun. As they enter the temple, they get a vision of Alyxian in despair. Jundis touches a glowing red ruidium shard and gets a second vision. And the Jewel of Three Prayers powers up. As they turn to leave the temple evil crabs and Aboleth Spawn attack the group. While the Alyxian Aboleth does color commentary but does not attack. Seeing the critter which killed his ma and pa Toz attacks which makes Alyxian Aboleth retreat. After getting an insight from the gawds, Poppy stops Toz. Gaisma talks the Aboleth out his madness. (Note I handled getting friendship clues badly.)The madness has the Aboleth occasionally think it is Alyxian. Also, the madness has him assuming that he is the villain in Toz’s tragic past. After a half a day of talks, Abe Aboleth agrees only to eat members of Vermillion. But he can not stop the other critters from free nibbling.The group leaves and reports in. (And levels up twice due milestone markers.) On Cuersaar 7, the enter the Netherdeep for the first time. Team Ayo is a day ahead of them. Some of the Netherdeep critters attack. They died but the Netherdeep pressure crushes Toz, Poppy, and Tarsim. They retreat back to Cael Morrow and talk with Abe Aboleth. He gives the needy adventurers the ruidium they need.(Note you can take the ruidium weapons. Or just take a couple of ounces in a pouch. Study up on underwater combat and the limits of the Three Prayers thingy. I will make a story award Three Prayers to get around the attunement problem.)End of Session 355</blockquote>
