When we last ventured to the Great Basin…
It was the 28th of Shimmerfall. After dodging numerous questions from the Forum and defeating a resolution to severely limit access to Koncord resources, you prepared to hunt Vicious, the only known member of the League Against Koncord Eminence and the slayer of Wil’s father Foalan Ragnory.
Using the knowledge from Niwa’s messenger, you knew that Vicious was on an island in Kratermeer. This island was supposedly enshrouded in mist and had the tendency to move around the big lake. You visited Taerwyn again so that Wil might attend his father’s funeral and so that you could charter a ship from Ragnory Shipping Co for the hunt. In negotiations with the dock master, it was agreed upon that they would charge the Koncord 3,000 gp for a voyage to an unknown location which would take an unknown number of days.
On the 33th of Shimmerfall, you left Taerwyn. After four days on the lake, and several major course corrections which backed the claim that the island itself moves, you awoke in a void of fog. Near the end of the day, the bow of your ship landed on a beach of gravel. Quickly scouting while the crew of the ship stayed behind, you located a massive cave, one large enough to hold a warship. So perfectly warship sized… that it was housing a warship! Gwen used Spider Climb, Communal to move the party across the ceiling, avoiding a cluster of huts and humanoids with bulbous eyes, sparse hair and webbed fingers.
You deduced that Vicious was in the captain’s quarters and plotted an assault from the ceiling. Descending from the mast of the Sanguine Ravager you stormed the cabin! Luck was with you, or perhaps more accurately luck with was Gwen. While Meru struggled to get a successful Color Spary or Debilitating Portent, and Wil and Zorro absorbed massive amounts of damage, she was able to cast Pox Pustuals and Slowing Mud on Vicious as well as Pup Shape a kraken which was harassing Redfern’s summons from over the edge of the ship.
Eventually, Vicious fell unconscious and the fish-like people entangled themselves in a Web created by Oisin.
We now resume on the 4th of Shimmerfall, with an apprehended Vicious, entangled minions and a baby kraken somewhere in the depths.
