Malvoisin's Savage Tide, Act 1 - There Is No Honor

[Malvoisin]

Col gives Keoni one last tap with the wand, then puts his eye on the wet elf. "Look like 'e find 'is mermaid, har!"

(One more charge from the wand: 1d8+1=9 healed, putting Keoni at a full 17/17 hp)

 

[hafrogman]

Keoni waves off Col, feeling much better now, and wades into the water a small ways, trying to fish the floating body out while Kalen investigates the deeps.

 

[Rhun]

Anar points to the western door. "I hear sloshing coming from that direction. Not sure what it is..." The rogue trails off as he considers what might make such a sound. The image of another zombie, dripping with seawater, comes quickly to mind, but Anar dismisses it with a shiver and shake of his head.

 

[Voadam]

Kalen comes up for air then dives back down. His fey light shoots ahead of him to illuminate the sparkling item more fully.

 

[Legildur]

Anar points to the western door. "I hear sloshing coming from that direction. Not sure what it is..."

Bael hears the unspoken question from Anar as he watches Kalen surface and dive again. "Water-logged zombies?" he offers, then immediately wishing he hadn't said something so stupid.

 

[stonegod]

Anar points to the western door. "I hear sloshing coming from that direction. Not sure what it is..."

Keeping his eye on Kalen, Col posits, "Could be more of 'em dead ones, carsed to walk the depths that kill 'em until the Age o'Worms. Course, that's been stopped already, so bad for 'em, har!"

 

[GwydapLlew]

Chongo will take up position near the door from which the noise had been heard. He returns his weapons to their places on his body, and holds his hand axe at the ready.

 

[Malvoisin]

Keoni wades out into the chilly water, and grabs the corpse by the arms. He pulls the clammy, waterlogged body to the edge of the pool and lays it to rest on the rubbly ground. Up close, the dead man is even more disgusting, as great chunks of flesh are missing (apparently bitten off) in several spots.

Kalen takes another deep gulp of air, then dives for the shiny object he spotted. He pulls forth a high quality dagger, whose gleaming surface suggests that it is made of silver. Having recovered his prize, the elf returns to the surface to examine it further.

Chongo approaches Anar and the door which leads west from the room. Up close, the Olman too can hear the sloshing sound. To Chongo, it sounds like the rhythmic ebb and flow of the tide.

 

[Rhun]

Anar shrugs at Chongo as the Olman listens. "Perhaps we should investigate the chamber to the north, first." The rogue points to the battered door. "I don't feel too secure with a broken door at our backs."

 

[hafrogman]

Keoni nods to Anar.

"Just a moment, I still want to find out who this man was. . . another of Vanthus's enemies? Or someone actually came down here willingly?"

He holds his breath for a moment and looks over the body for anything of interest or identification.
