Log

Prep and Progress

• Spend 30 minutes recovering
• I prepare silver sword found earlier
• Hopefully will benefit us going forward
• Head north to follow large horned man
• Miles and Clam pull two opposing levers to open gate
• Everyone heads through
• Long bridge
• Dark waters below
• Target across the bridge
• Red eyes in the dark waters

In Too Deep

• Try to cross bridge to chase after target
• Massive fish creature emerges from water
• Another Velstrac creature?
• Existence projects darkness
• Constantly being pulled toward it, into the water
• Being in water makes pull more painful
• Creature was far too strong
• Should have retreated
• Target laughs at us and leaves
• Clam is swallowed
• Victoria knocked unconscious by aura of fish monster
• Kept up by Pomba and Sheeri
• Clam eventually escapes
• Resistant or immune to everything Sheeri does
• My sword weakens it slightly
• Still exceptionally hard to penetrate hide of creature
• Clam and Miles do most damage to it
• Struggle to survive
• Heals itself with harm spell
• Blasts most of us with burst of cold darkness
• I fall into water, unconscious
• Healed by Sheeri
• Miles gets swallowed
• Barely manage to kill creature before it can knock us all out again
• Cut Miles out of monster
• Too weakened to keep giving chase
• Decide to retreat
• More information gathered than expected
• Much more palace to explore
