Of Jungle Deeps and Ocean Depths

*Tiana goes pale instantly forgetting the rest of the loot as she is told the glowing light inside the coral cage is someone's soul.*

"Is..., is that really a soul in there? That's horrible! Is there anything we can do to release it?"

"Rappai will know what to do! We have to wait until she returns," Tiana speaks her voice suddenly full of determination.

Rappai, Grippli Cleric

Rappai returned to her Grippli village with the little thunder and jarrijan in tow. Rappai gave the village the bittersweet news that Killhaven was no more and directed those better skilled to deal with the little thunder, training him to be a help to the grippli community.

In the evening, Rappai cast divination with the question "What additional items does Rappai and the tall ones need to be successful in their quest?"

In the morning, she will gather some of those items. Feeling surprisingly refreshed and somewhat more powerful (having more spells at her disposal), Rappai felt that Is-aycha was pleased with her decisions. She called on Jarrijan and the prepared to return to the former cave of Killhaven.

Jarrijan, for his part, took the opportunity to spend the night in the company of family, who were quite surprised at his arrival.

"Rappai, matey, have a look at this" Harry shows her the coral cage "Invelion says it's a soul that thingy within. What should we do with this? As a rule, I don't like prisons, but some people are better there than here."

Invelion, elven wizard from Evermeet

"Yes, that's right. It is a lich's phylactery. Is there a divination you can use to find if it is attached to an evil lich? If not, I would like to return to Evermeet and sell it. They are usually quite valuable, and one of the good elven wizards of Evermeet may wish to purchase it, to become a Baelnorn, a good elven lich."

 

[Zerth]

*Tiana snorts at Invelion's comment about trying to sell the phylactery.*

"A good lich? I've never heard about such creatures. What kind of being would trap a soul and use it to her advantage? That's right - a horrible monster!" she yells.

"I don't need any more proof about the nature of that thing's creator. Devils bargain with souls and I don't want to be a part of such business! Would you really sell someone's soul for monetary benefit? That's ...disgusting," she spits out casting a very disapproving look towards Invelion.

OOC: Are phylacteries "recyclable"? I've always thought every lich must create their own phylactery.

Invelion, elven wizard

"Like I said, I was asking if Rappai could find out if the phylactery houses the spirit of an evil lich. If it does, then it should be destroyed. If it houses the spirit of a good lich, then we should try to return the phylactery to him or her. If the phylactery does not house the spirit of a lich, then that means someone prepared this phylactery in order to become a lich, but that the transformation didn't happen. If that's the case, then it is just an expensive container, holding nothing. It would be valuable to the good elven high wizards of Evermeet."

The Water of life is guarded by death and fire, to complete your quest, seek the kind ones of the waters before confronting the Ancient One.

Invelion will search out Spear Strikes Deep and ask him if the jungle dwarves have a way to keep things dry. He shows him his scrolls and spellbook, if it helps.

In the morning, Undinar gathers together all of his troup and says, "Right then, if we are all prepared for the next leg of our journey, lets get a move on. To the lake we go."

You remember from your arcane studies that some mages can use a lich's phylactery to power a magical golem. It would be worth a high price to someone making one of these golems, called a grisol.
