SESSION 194 – March 14, 2018

The undead whale charges. Oskar misses with his javelin, Bavmorda backstabs the whale, Kauri casts light and misses its eyes, Nash jumps in the water.

Rallion misses with the shard.

Druette, Oskar, Rallion and half the boat are then swallowed whole by the whale, and the thugs, city watch, and Estrill flee, while Lambertus is tossed into the river and turns the undead whale.

As the whale turns to flee, Rallion reaches down with the shard to touch the inside of the whale’s mouth and it explodes. The flying bits of whale meat hurt Rallion and Oskar, while Druetta is knocked unconscious. The thugs and guardsmen we brought with us are killed, and nearly all the guardsmen we rescued are killed by giants chunks of rotting whale flesh.

Simultaneously, coins, gems, an amulet, scrollcase and an axe are scattered in the river.

Nash with the ring of swimming and the Starchy badge is able to find the amulet, many gems, and the battle axe. Bavmorda snags the scrollcase as it goes by.

We have a nice collection of gems, some platinum coins, a magic axe, magic amulet, and a scoll of seven powerful spells.

The axes is of minor enchantment as we have come to understand it. The amulet is a periapt of proof against poison, and the scoll has Move Earth, Geas, Death Spell, Lower Water, Repulsion, Stone to Flesh, and Part Water – all 6th level.

We go to the wreck of the “ghost ship” drawn by the undead whale, avoiding the notice of the walking infected. A huge group gathered from the sounds of battle and the exploding whale.

We board the beached ghost ship and find an idol who will not talk to Serithaz, but will talk to us. Rallion tires of the “ancestor’s” talk, when we learn that the whale was it’s only servant, that it can’t controll the infected, and that it wants the infected to destroy the land dwellers. Rallion takes one of his lightning axes and smashes it to the annoyance of Serithaz.

We make plans to lure the undead into the ship to contain them. Perhaps 200 could be contained in a ship this size. There are about 200 in the area where we are, plus about 100 up river who were following us. We hope that the sound of the exploding whale will draw their attention so that the force from Feldmark has no opposition to reaching us.

We hope to corral the infected, possibly make one or more super organism out of them to maximize the effect of healing to end the plague. We continue our plans as the camera fades to black.

Tune in next week for the exciting adventures of this motley band of fools who think they can save the world from the approaching fleet of the evil space dwarves. The clock is ticking. All can see the countdown from this clock. Will their efforts to get training just run out the clock? Will they reach Lonely Isle and wrest control of the ship from Marchmain and his forces? More importantly, can they get the ship to orbit?
