Chapter 3: The Darklake

Dustin's spray of color bombards out, and just at the very fringe, Nanny shimmers into view, 15 feet away from Dustin toward the dock.

You vile creature! How DARE you blind me! She cries as she whirls around toward the sound of your voice from casting the spell. She strikes out with her claws.

Her swing goes wide of Dustin.

Back to init rounds. PCs on the boat may take their action now (as they were in on the plan and waiting for her appearance). The boat is currently about 60 feet from the hag.

Four streaks of fiery power streaks out from the boat, tracing a searing line in the darkness. The first goes over her head, but the last three all find their mark exquisitely. The first two hit, and then the third blows out the back of her torso, leaving a scarred hole in the middle of her chest. Her eyes are glassy as she slumps to the ground with a thud.

If Dustin and Stool search her corpse, they find a tattered set of robes as well as a belt with some small creature skeletons dangling from it. In the shack, there are a variety of herbs and alchemical ingredients that you can easily transport back to the boat.

On the boat, the creatures bag shimmers and fades away, leaving nothing there.

No magic is present

When Dustin finishes up getting back to the boat, he comes bearing a chest full of alchemical supplies containing a variety of herbs and other materials for the crafting of potions and poisons. You get everything settled in and begin your transit once again, with 3rd shift resuming their duties.10 days remaining to Neverlight (9 on the Darklake and then you switch to land-based travel, per the charts and group knowledge)
Current Shift: 1st Shift | 2nd Shift | 3rd Shift


Time passes and once again you start to cycle through your shifts, making it nearly a full day without anything untoward. However, when the third shift group takes over, you find yourselves in an interesting chamber. It thrums with Faerzress-coated pillars. You've spent the last 6 hours sailing through the eerie light. As you continue through this pillar-filled chamber you hear a rushing of water. Up ahead, there is a massive swirling vortex of water, nearly 100 feet across! Your boat slips into the stream, getting yanked into the whirl. Just as the group takes to the poles to try steering out of the dangerous water hazard, another of those mottled blue/green trolls leaps out of the water, landing square in the middle of your craft!

Combat! PCs may act!
