Of Jungle Deeps and Ocean Depths

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

"O course I heard of it! I live there now, and so do Seraphina's people. Ye want the grand tour? As fer the Ancient One... ye mean the Great Beast of the Deep? That's not something ye want to trifle with unless ye have a reason of life, death, or honor," Irongut warns.

"Rappai's vision did speak of seeking allies before going to the Deep," Rappai commented.

Harry is about to introduce the rest of the party when his father speaks of Seraphina as the 'love of his life'. Looking at him with eyes wide as tea cups, he says "So she be what you 'looked for in the last decades and despaired to find'? She be the reason you took sea again after all these years? Well then you must be special indeed, me lady."
He bows elegantly to Seraphina, at the same time giving his father a 'we'll have a talk later' look.

"Undinar matey, why don't you tell'em more o' your quest? It looks like we finally found someone who knows the lake for real and not as a fairy tale."

"Right you are Harry." He says to his friend, before turning his attention back to Irongut and Seraphina. "As your son just mentioned I am on a quest and these gracious individuals have agreed to help. I guess I should start at the beginning, then eh? Alright then just the short version. To gain acceptance in the court of my grandfather he has sent me on a quest. He wants me to acquire water from a sacred spring located at the heart of the jungle. Having journeyed here to that very purpose it was in Mezro that I met my companions. Together we have battled foul beast, collosal terror and gathered valuable information from both grippli and wild dwarf. It was the wild dwarves who had pointed us in the direction of Tikira Lake, following a map given by the grippli old ones. They said that we would have to confront the Great Beast of the Deep as you put it, to find the spring that I seek. With much aid from dear Rappai's visions we have determined that we must seek aid before confronting the beast. It would appear that our meeting is auspicious indeed."

Invelion emerges into the opening, water dripping from his golden scales as he changes back into his normal elven form.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Irongut, and you Seraphina. I am Invelion, from the distant isle of Evermeet." Invelion greets each in turn, clasping their hands warmly, smiling at them as he studies them. Then letting go, he says "What an enchanted domain this is! I've never seen one like it. Waterfalls hurtling sideways through seemingly endless caverns. What sort of place is this? Are we still on Toril?"

OOC: Trying to discern anything he can about Irongut and Seraphina - what kinds of creatures they are, if they are enchanted, etc.

"What an enchanted domain this is! I've never seen one like it. Waterfalls hurtling sideways through seemingly endless caverns. What sort of place is this? Are we still on Toril?"

"Hmm? I didn't detect a planar shift of any kind, but it's an intriguing idea..." Mourn perks up at the suggestion, and starts looking around with renewed interest.

"Mr Irongut, do you have any insight to the nature of the 'Great Beast of the Deep'? It appears we must pass by it, by one means or another, and I would prefer to know what we might be forced to face."

"We already know, that it is a powerful serpent of some kind," Tiana adds.

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

"Aye, we're still on Toril. It's just that water follows different rules down 'ere. But now this quest o' yours sounds a mite dangerous. Glad to help ya! The old serpant is a crafty one, yards and yard long. Ye kin hardly see one end when you're at the other, if he's all streched out. He's clever, hides in the bottom of the lake and takes ye be surprise. And slippery as an eel he is," Irongut says with a broad smile.

Invellion:

Spoiler

Irongut doesn't seem to be enchanted... unless you count being in love. He seems to be a normal humna. Seraphina's aquatic traits leave you to believe she is some kind of sirine, perhaps.

 

[Erekose13]

"You know quite a bit about him eh? Have you encountered him before?" Undinar asks.

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

"A bit, m'lad. Seraphina's people know o' 'im, and they've shown me 'im before, mostly so I know not to mess wit' 'im. I seen 'im attacking some greedy fools once... swallowed five whole with one gulp, knocked three others right out o' the deeps and into the sky wit' 'is tail, and boiled the other two t' death wit' 'is fiery tongue," Ironguts explains, looking rather impressed at the memory. Seraphina seems a bit discomforted by his easy explaination, though she watches Undinar with an intense gaze.
