Who wants to be a Wayfinder? Part 1

[Shayuri]

Whisper grasps the dolphin's fin gingerly, as if expecting it to be slimy. Emboldened after the first hesitant touch, she grasps the fin more securely, moving above the porpoise's body and making sure her feet won't tangle with the aquatic creature's fluke.

Johan resists the urge to grab one of the women and grabs one of dorsal fins and prepares to hold on.

With a joyful squeal, the dolphins dart forward with a burst of speed. The water rushes by you as you struggle to maintain a grip on the slick fins. The school of hammerheads are startled by your sudden appearance in their midst and many of them scatter before you. The dolphins cut through the center of them towards the diving bell. As you close in, you feel darkness sweeping in around you. Midian's light slowly fades out and at the same time you can feel it getting harder to breathe. At the last moment, the dolphins reach the diving bell and you thrust yourself forward through the open bottom and into the air bubble. Everyone coughs and gasps as you expel the water from your lungs so you can once more breathe the air. The dolphins beneath you swim in circles keeping a watch out for anything approaching. As soon as everyone is breathing normally once again, Johan yanks a rope inside the diving bell to signal the surface crew that you are ready to ascend. The trip back up is much slower due to several decompression stops you have to make. Finally, the bell is bobbing on the surface of the ocean and the ships crew throws you lines to help you climb back aboard.

"Now that's some good timing," the young druid says as the bell ascends. Slightly shaken, he recovers his composure as the group waits to re-encounter the surface, where he lends a hand in getting party, bell, and loot back on board.

Whisper's little smile suggests she rather enjoyed the trip, but she doesn't offer comment save to cast a quick spell that seems to magically cause the water to fall out of her cloak and clothes to make a little puddle at her feet...and leaving her perfectly dry.

"That was interesting to say the least." Seria says as the group ascends in the diving bell.

Once her feet are back on the boat, she gives out a giant sigh of relief. "This is much better."

 

[Bront]

"So, Seria, let me help you out of those wet clothes," Johan says, offering his arm.

 

[Mista Collins]

"What a kind offer, Johan." Seria says with a small smile. "But I think I can handle it myself."

Turning to the others, she continues. "Lets meet in one of our rooms to discuss everything we came across down there. But first, I do need to get out of these wet clothes."

Midian smiles. "Nicely done. Does that effect work on paper? How did the book fare?" he asks Whisper.

 

[Bront]

"What a kind offer, Johan." Seria says with a small smile. "But I think I can handle it myself."

"I wouldn't be a gentileman if I didn't offer," he says with a smile.
