Of Jungle Deeps and Ocean Depths

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

*Jalaro shakes her head.*

"No, I'm afraid I know little of the ocean, and only desire to remain in Chult. I wish you luck on your quest... Ah... are we going to travel back in the normal way?" she asks tentatively, glancing at the air elemental again.

Invelion pats one of the anklies as he waits for everything to get sorted out.

"Well, we seem to be having a shortage of volunteers," Tiana says with hands on her hips. "I must say I'm a little worried - yeah, *me* worried, that's right - about the underwater stuff and all. You know, with Rappai and her spells gone, how am I going to survive down there? I'm not even a very good swimmer," she adds laughing briefly.

OOC: Are we down to just three players? Lichtenheart and Keia dropped out and I don't think Jarval's been with us for awhile...

"I think another trek throught the jungle would be acceptable as I don't know if our new ally could transport all of us together with the supplies and dinosaurs. Invelion do you have anything that might help Tiana when we go underwater again?" replies Undinar.

[ooc: yeah I think we are just three. Isida, do you want to recruit more? or shall we try to work with just the three?]

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

OOC - Already on it, I have recruiting up as we speak.

*It is finally decided that your group will travel by foot back to Mezro, drop off Jarrijan and Rappai, pick up Erik, allow those that need to depart to do so, and to recruit new adventurers to help with the rescue of Shassar's granddaughter. When all was in readiness, they were to hire a ship and head to the west of the Mother-of-Mists Isles, where Shassar would find the group again and guide them further. Mad Harry has decided to stay with his father and catch up on years' worth of news. Mourn has inexplicably vanished, leaving behind an odd note that he has gone to explore other planes. Tiana expresses that she has no experience at sea and will be more of a hinderance than a help, and will be departing company at Mezro. Undinar and Invellion are the only two left of the group, so they will have to find many more to assist them in thier rescue.*

*The trip back is far less exciting, as the tribes of wild dwarves and grippli guard your path for you and help prevent unwanted visitors. You pick up Erik and head back to Mezro. There he and Tiana take their leave, and Jalaro takes the trade goods back to Obar. When Undinar indicates he's in need of some adventurers to accompany him on a different quest, Obar says he'll try to find some reliable people for you, for a small fee of ten gold.*

Mezro.

No matter how often Gudenny came back here it still excited her. Not because it was far away and exotic, but because it was one of those places where you could see nature in all it's glory. Compared to the dry barrenness of Calmishan this was paradise indeed. It might be slightly too hot for most Rashemi, but that did not concern her much - she had spent too long in the south - and here, at least, it was humid.

Here also there were spirits in the land she shared at least a distant kinship with; rather than the genies and their kith further north. She leant on the rail, breathed deeply and let the smell of the jungle and the city fill her nostrils.

Landing she picked her way through the docks and the markets, recognizing the occassional old friend and acquaintance as she did.
"Olamo! How are your children. Doing fine?"
"Azpuch, long time no see. How's the fishing?"
That's a lot of time chatting, saying hello and finding out what rumours are running the streets and markets*. Eventually she does indeed get to the Rainbow Bird and greets Crilly, "Salut and well met. I do take it that your fine establishment is not so overbooked that you couldn't find rooms for myself and my friend here."

Her friend is a short, powerful looking Rashemi male who appears to be having some trouble adjusting to the heat.

OOC: *Gather information check if I may. Base of 17

*As the group splits up, Undinar thanks each of them for their help on his quest. While little material wealth was acquired each of them departs with the items and dinosaur trophies they had picked up on the way. He shakes their hands and extends and invitation to each of them to join them in his Grandfather’s palace on the Elemental Plane of Water.*

*Returning with Jalaro to Obar’s place, Undinar thanks the guide for helping them get to the lake and for acting as their interpreter in the cultures of Chult. Undinar gives Obar the 10 gold without hesitation, knowing that the man will find the right people. ”It is as always a pleasure to see you again. It looks like I am in need of more trustworthy adventurers. This time we will be traveling deep beneath the Trackless Sea, so underwater experience is definitely an asset. You can find Invelion and myself at the Rainbow Bird. Thank you again, Obar.” says Undinar before heading towards his favorite inn and the ever delicious mango juice.*

Julian Hemlock - half-aquatic elf rogue/shadowdancer

Julian was nervous, but assumed his appearance concealed this. With the practiced ease of an experienced assassin, he waited for his audience in Obar's study. Julian wanted nothing more to do with the officials of Chult, their military leaders in particular, but he was not yet ready to leave the area. He had much to learn yet from the shadowdancers. And besides, where would he go? He was a talanted man, and his services were worth paying for. A little excursion away from the city would be just the ticket, and help him accumulate some cash if he were to leave. Surely Obar would have something along these lines...
