'''6 Blessing Moon, 1372'''
* Getting the names from Zahn
** First is Eryuaal, the silver wyrmling Marcus is caring for, who likes to talk to animals (shapechanged spies)
** Second is Johann, an acolyte who cleans the temple of Bahamut in Sigil twice a week
** Third is a githyanki courier/ranger named Pah'zel, she rides an ur'Epona and runs packages between planes, etc
*** She "totally fell in love with this githzerai and when the other githyanki killed him she left them"
*** Yeah right, she got too powerful and the lich queen was going to eat her
* Releasing Zahn
* Time to split the party! Vin will stay with Sil since Pazuzu has the black orb and Church of Tamara needs to go there for Aezma
* Red orb given to The Old Man, also bath toys
* Plane of Water time, excellent!
* Evathyth reports that The Corridor, a demiplane of passage, is currently anchored on the Plane of Water, easy to travel there
** Corridor has funny time, natural body stuff like healing happens super fast, etc (4 days apparent travel; '''7 Blessing Moon''' - '''10 Blessing Moon''', bodies age at about 1 day/hour)
* Arrival on Plane of Water ('''10 Blessing Moon''')- immediately seized and taken into custody
** Guards are super nervous and tense
** Bring to main city of the merfolk, where party's intentions are questioned
*** We are totally merchants!
*** Do not interfere with our civil war, you pesky non-merfolk!
** Meet up with Serahn and Vitaria (the archmage and his daughter)
*** Oh em gee, our civil war is ridiculous out of hand
*** Caste system where warrior caste rules, mages and priests advise; but an archmage Nemayon has seized control (and is mysteriously controlling bronze dragons)
*** He has the king Hatarn and 5-year-old princess Penaiah (Penny) captive; Prince Berreas doesn't dare move with those hostages
*** He wants the crown, but Hatarn won't tell him where Berreas is; they are worried if Nemayon tortures Penaiah then Hatarn will fold
*** Berreas's lover Arramincia (Arya) is in city rebel-rousing; Tari contacts her and gets Berreas' location
*** Cute father-daughter exchange; Serahn has custom-enchanted all Tari's gear so she is stacked
* On to find Berreas and the rebellion so we can totally help!
** On the way, ATTACK!!! A kraken and 5x dire sharks. (Suck my diiiiick, I'm a sharrrrk)
*** Ellowyn nearly gets nommed
*** Freedom of movement is awesome
** The kraken had a nearby horde where it was keeping slaves (oh, slaves need FOOD...), woo treasure
** Arrival! Berreas is a bit suspicious of the party but despite grumping about interfering mages, trusts TOM's advice
*** If Penny can be rescued, and let word get out that she is not a hostage any more (showing her around??), then that puts everyone in a better position
*** Nemayon must be baited such that he challenges Berreas; the crown?? Challenged one gets to pick weapons, so he can say No Artifacts (!!!)
*** Nemayon will probably cheat but if he does then FREE-FOR-ALL!!!
** Plz enjoy our hospitality and this dry room to sleep in (swim n00bs!)
