Of Jungle Deeps and Ocean Depths

[Erekose13]

Undinar reaches to the vial, checking to see that the stopper is on tight, "Yes, I have the water that we came for. Thank you Rappai, Jarrijan for helping us on our quest. Your visions have aided us immensely. Please if you or the tribe have any need of us let us know." Undinar is sad to see Rappai leave, as she was one of the most colourful individuals he had met on this trek.

To the rest of the group, "I cannot force any of you come, but I feel we have a debt to this water spirit for helping us escape from the jaws of the dragon. I will help him rescue his daughter, will any of you join me for another adventure?"

"Farewell, Rappai and Jarrijan! May good luck always shine on you!" Tiana bids her farewell to the two grippli, who had been good trustworthy companions.

"Count me in. I've not traveled this far to chiken out, when things start getting really interesting," Tiana says raising her hand, when Undinar asks for volunteers.

Rappai, Grippli Cleric

With her commitment released, Rappai bowed to the tall one Undinar, and said, "Rappai will think well of the journey we have had together. If Rappai receives a warning or message from Is-aycha comes concerning you tall ones, Rappai will try to get the message to you."

Rappai thanked each of the tall ones personally and granted them the blessings of Is-aycha for the remainder of their travels. Then, with a look to Jarrijan and a nod to the others, Rappai invoked a Teleport back to her village.

The real work was about to begin for Rappai.

After Rappai has departed, Undinar pauses for a moment, before nodding to Tiana and looking to the others, "Well? Anyone else up for another quest?"

*Rappai and Jarrijan vanish in a flash of green light, leaving behind the scent of water and foliage. Now the group hangs in the air, an expectant air elemental waiting to hear the group's concensus.*

"I can bring you to where my granddaughter was last seen. But if you have obligations to discharge, I could at least speed them along, if that is necessary," he offers quickly. Jalaro was still waiting at the edge of the lake, with a small fortune in trade goods she has pledged to bring back to Obar.

 

[Erekose13]

"Thank you for the offer, we may need to take you up on it. Our companions on the edge of the lake would like word from us as well as muscle for the return trip. In addition I would like to convey any of my group who is no longer continuing to some relative safety. Please give us a moment more to deliberate." replies Undinar to the air spirit.

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

*Aaaaand thusly confused, the party is alighted next to a very startled Jalaro in order to tell her what has happened. The air spirit waits patiently, taking the time to explain a little more of his situation as you ponder.*

"My granddaughter was kidnapped in order to be used against me. We elementals sometimes play political power games such as you mortals do. Guban and Marios, elemental lords of earth and water, have captured Aymara to make certain I do not press my advantages on the Inner Planes," the air spirit tells you. "When she asks you who you come from, tell her the name Shassar.

"Could you tell a very confused snake-kin what in the name of Ubtao is going on?!" Jalaro finally manages to get out. Curiously the anklies don't seem to be too worried by Shassar.

Invelion grins at Jalaro. "It looks like our adventures will be continuing. Jalaro, have you experience of the Trackless Sea, west of the Mother-of-Mists isle?"

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

"Very little I'm afraid. I'm not much of a sea traveler. The jungle is my home and my birthplace," she confesses, her eyes wide as she takes in the massive air elemental.

 

[Erekose13]

"It is good to see you again Jalaro, for a few moments down beneath the water we thought we may have already said our goodbyes. Thanks to this very helpful spirit we have managed to escape the clutches of the dragon with the water I needed. Now, though we have a debt to repay.

As you mention that you know not of the sea beyond the jungle, I think it may be best to escort you back to the city. You are certainly welcome to join us, but I fear that the next part of our journey will take us deep beneath the ocean waves." says Undinar upon rejoining Jalaro.
