C2 Session 23
General Summary
They continue sailing on, Koin senses a storm on the horizon
The skies are clear
They crest a wave and see an armada of seven ships off in the distance, around 50 miles away in a dark fog
They turn all the lanterns off as to not be seen
The formation of the fleet indicates that they are heading in the same direction as the group
Koin decides to go around the fleet and the storm, managing to handle the ship through the darkness and the waves
They continue sailing, making sure any non-fighters are below deck and on-deck crew are prepared
Koin notices the fleet split in half, one half turning towards them, the other mirroring their movement
Xodon peers down the way and sees that all the ships are well equipped with dinghies and weapons
The flagships name can be seen: the Starlit Lotus
Whitefang asks Xodon if he saw the name of the ship, Xodon tells him
He laughs and plants his feet on the deck, yelling out the name Nema
Koin inquires about her, and he says Nema is Captain Waydrane’s sister
A large boulder is hurled at the ship
Koin attempts to catch it and throw it back, but only catches it and injures himself a bit
He is covered in dolphin fat and oil and is on fire
Xodon attempts to tackle Koin and put the fire out, but Koin slips out of his grasp, they are both on covered in napalm
Koin begins attempting to move the flaming rock off the ship, but the fleet is closing in on them fast
The rain above them begins to amass into a humanoid form, landing on the deck and attacking Xodon
Koin and Xodon are grappled by the water creature, struggling to breathe
Almost immediately after, they both break free and ready themselves to fight
The elemental grapples some other crewmates, but Adrezill saves them
It then attacks Koin, who continues burning and is knocked unconscious
Adrezill heals Koin and he wakes up to see the elemental fading away into a real person, a woman
She looks at them, her vibrant red hair flowing, and summons a large beam of sunlight down on them all
Koin goes down again, and Xodon is blinded, although his senses give him a vision of his immediate surroundings
The woman, assumed to be the captain, begins transforming back as the elemental latches onto the rock and turns into a fire elemental
Whitefang harpoons it and hits it hard
Xodon heals Koin up, and Koin wakes up to more burning, but doesn’t go back down
Adrezill tries to speak with Nema, but she doesn’t respond, so he throws a lightning bolt at the elemental
Oil is spilled out in a ten foot radius, barely landing the bolt in its intended spot
The fire elemental is bloodied by the blast
Druids and mages begin fighting the other crew members
Nema drops her elemental form, and runs up the helm, casting a spell that begins shooting stone from her arms, turning the ship parts into stone
Adrezill attempts to counterspell it, succeeding
A green mist shoots out from the spells clashing and strikes Koin, poisoning him
Xodon shoots his bow at Nema, Koin heals himself a small bit and neutralizes the poison
Adrezill throws another lightning bolt, but Nema almost instantly counterspells it
One of her eyes flashes and is now glossed over purple
She transforms into an earth elemental, and it also has the purple eye
They look over to see a flash of radiant lightning hit one of the other ships, they have no idea how the rest of the fleet is doing
Xodon runs up to Nema with Zandriens blade, slashing her and cursing her
Koin attacks with his sword and fists, punching it
Adrezill firebolts the elemental, and it begins flying before quickly dissipating
The elemental burrows down to the anchor, attacking it and sending it through the ship and dropping it
Suddenly it is very quiet before a horde of grung begin battle crying and ripping and tearing
The elemental doesn’t seem surprised, and the ships begin sailing away, as she disappears and the enemy fleet makes their getaway
Koin continues to burn, being knocked unconscious once again
The situation has been deemed a “fight fire with fire” scenario, but hitting him while he is down would kill him
Xodon uses his last healing potion and he wakes up to Adrezill about to slash at him
He dodges, but he slashes again and hits, knocking him out but also knocking the flames off of him
They sail for multiple days, the most interesting thing they encounter being a small whirlpool which they maneuver around easily on the fourth day
The next day they encounter a much larger whirlpool that they failed to spot earlier
It is over 150 feet in diameter, and is very strong
The whole fleet is captured by the whirlpool
They begin maneuvering ships and with a bit of struggle they make it through
They sail on and eventually spot land
As they get closer, Koin realizes that the flagship is on a collision course with the island cliffs, and he has to stop that
They figure out how to and approach the island, docking the ships at the beach
The city of Zamboza is filled with bridges and nature, and Dara mentions that there could be a diamond on the island somewhere that they could use to revive Henry
They walk into the city to find goblins, humans, tabaxi, and many other races all gathered throughout the streets, a mix of cultures that shocks Koin
Whitefang splits off to look for ship supplies
Koin joins Dara looking for a diamond
They ask a nearby vendor who introduces himself as Azar, and he points them in the direction of a goods store that could have some jewelry or gems that they might need
Koin and Dara make their way over there and ask the goods vendor if he has any gems
He pulls out a tray of scattered gems, but Koin inquires about a diamond, but says he has none
Koin infers he has one but can’t tell him he does for fear of getting robbed
Koin slips him five gold and the man has him follow him to a door that opens into an underground staircase
It is very dark and moist in the environment, and when they get down there the vendor asks him who told Koin that he had diamonds
He says Azar did, and the man nods
He walks over to a bench and opens a large metal case, he digs around and pick out two rings with diamonds, one bigger and one smaller
Koin buys both of them for a large sum of money, and goes back up where he and Dara go back to the ship
They open the door to the room of Henry’s coffin, where they find Rafwar thumbing through Henry’s journal
He says he was just reminiscing on his friend’s life
He asks if they knew what he was working on, but they don’t
He says that Henry was on the surface of discovering information about magic that nobody ever had, he had more information than anyone else
Koin mentions that he may have another chance, as they are going to attempt to resurrect him, which confuses Rafwar, so he leaves them to their business
They all stand over Henry’s coffin, and begin the ritual
Dara begins the ritual, placing the diamonds on the table, drawing her circle and beginning to cast
Koin begins speaking about how Henry needs to accomplish his goals, that he can’t die now and must live on to fulfill his life
Xodon also speaks to Henry about how he is distraught on the next steps, and he was a type of leader
Koin tells him that he was a very powerful mage
There is an inferno of platinum light that turns red, a pounding on the coffin, louder and louder
Henry emerges, but something seems off
He grabs his bag of stuff and looks around at them, breathing heavily
He jolts and reaches for the bag of holding, grabbing it
Koin tries to dodge, but Henry quickly casts a powerful spell
Adrezill tries to counterspell it but henry stops it and Koin vanishes
Henry gets the bag of holding, casts a seventh level spell which they have never seen from him, and he disappears
Xodon could very easily tell that although it was Henry’s body it was not Henry
Koin reappears, and all he saw was Henry reaching for the bag one second, then him and the bag being gone
