*Invellion, your familiar reports that the water is cool, pleasent, feels quite invigorating, and he's like to swim in it again sometime.*
*Mourn quickly gathers up the magical items he noted, as his strange hound vanishes back into the place from whence it came. The sheet of leather turns out to be a cloak of some sort. The massive silver ring has a ram's head carved on it. The crumpled bit of cloth is a robe with many patches on it, patches that resemble normal objects like a bucket, a ladder, and a coil of rope.*
*Jarrijan collects the three things he knows belonged to the grippli warriors. One was the white-tipped spear, the spearhead made from a rare metal called icesteel. It was traded over vast distances and was a prized possession of Yrippri for that reason. The gourd is a potion, one that would allow a person to become invisible. Terlip must have died before she could have used it. The scroll case does not actually contain a scroll, but rather has a collection of ten darts in it, fletched with hummingbird feathers for speed, and tipped with a serpant's tooth to always strike true. These belonged to Zarash, one of the tribe's best marksmen.*
*Carefully wrapping Doran up in a spare cloak, you take your sad burden to the surface. When you arrive, you see that most of the tribe is assembled, and Vi-Tach is holding a large wooden bowl. To your relief, Rappai, you see the bowl is full of fresh water and a multitude of small, colorful fish. It must be from the spring; you've succeeded!*

"Avast! Now that those leeches are out o' our way, and the spring is restored I have kept my word, haven't I? So would you please ask someone of this merry... frog-people if they have heard of Tikira lake?"

*Tiana's mood improves somewhat as they reach the surface and she even smiles a little as she sees the colorful fishes in the bowl held by Vi-Tach.*
"Whatever that thing was, I'm glad it is no more. But it took the life from one of us, before it was all over. Now we must see, that Doran is laid to rest, before we move on to other matters."

Rappai, Grippli Cleric/Divine Oracle (Jarrijan, Grippli Monk)
Rappai was pleased with herself over the final victory to restore the spring, but it was tempered by the loss of her three warriors, and of the tall ones companion. Jarrijan maintain his stoic silence, but always stayed near Rappai.
She solemnly offered up the items recovered from the grippli warriors to the tribal elder, to return to their families some momento of what they had lost.
"Rappai is not familiar with the tall one's religion, not familiar at all," Rappai said, "but Rappai can offer the rites of Is-Aycha to the tall one, offer the rites. It is the acceptable considering his sacrifice."

"Yes, Tiana, lets see to Doran's burial. I would like to show him the proper respect for such a dedicated warrior. Rappai, I am afraid that none of us know what religion Doran followed, though I am sure that his soul travels to meet his god now. Whatever words you have to offer will aid him on his journey I am sure. We should also hold a service for the grippli warriors who also came here to meet their end. They died valiantly trying to defend their homes." Undinar says, carrying the fallen man as they return to the surface.

Invelion tells Lord Vi-Tach of how they found Mad Harry, and the battle with the Leech-creature, Doran's death, and the restoration of the spring, presenting each person's actions in heroic detail. Then he'll participate with the others in the ceremonies for the fallen warriors.

*Harry attend the funerals too, smothering his quick grin in respect, thankful to the Smiling Lady that he's not in Doran's place, and keeps his cunning eyes on the gripplis, trying to learn everything he can about them and how they live. After the rites he approaches Undinar.*
"If I got it right, you're the chief of this expedition. You don't have to tell me what you're lookin' for, me matey, but do you happen to have some map I could copy? The ones I found back in Tethyr looked more the ravings of a drunk gnome than real maps. I've got to find this lake, and soon."

*Rappai, the families are grateful to have their items back, and use them in the ceremonies to revere their loved ones. You also conduct the cremation and last rites for Doran, as a divination revealed that he was quite happy on the other side and didn't want to come back. However, after the ceremonies are completed, the grippli families of the dead warriors come back to the group.*
"We wish you to have these, so that the spirits of our dead will live on, through you," one of them says in careful, rehersed Common. They want the party to use the items so that it will be as if the dead were guiding them in their use.
*Harry, when you ask about Tikira lake, it is at the meeting where Vi-Tach was going to give the group instructions on the most likely place for Undinar's sacred spring. When you ask about it, Vi-Tach's mouth drops open.*
"Who told you of Tikira Lake? It is a hidden place, few know of it. It is the place where the sacred spring is most likely to be!" she says in astonishment.
