Session XXIV

Maritime Alliance

 * 1) The party was interrupted by the ethereal song of a robot of siren design. It appears to be leading the half-elf woman that Corwin had stolen from pior. The party began to run towards the sound, and when they caught up, Joraxx confronted the construct, but it would not comply, causing the party to attack.
 * 2) After defeating the robot, Joraxx decided to try and lure one of the robots by entering an alleyway. Eggu decided to follow Joraxx and see what he was doing, causing Joraxx to try and run from him. When that didn’t work, he resorted to attacking Eggu, who teleported away. Joraxx spent another hour, but was unable to find what he was looking for, and once he finished venting his anger on a nearby wall, he was met by Mordenkainen. Joraxx rested for a few hours before Goose eventually found him and they returned to the party.
 * 3) In the meantime, the rest of the Shepherds went along their way with a professor at the local university so Eggu could cast a scrying spell in order to ascertain more information about Queen Tatiana. In the following hours Eggu spent preparing what was needed for the ritual, Corwin decided to have a little adventure of his own with Xander stealthily following suit. In their journey along the streets of Fey’s Paradise, Corwin encountered another of these mysterious robots, this time with a little girl following it. The two followed closely behind, and they were able to discover that there was an illusionary wall with turrets on the other side protecting from intruders. These turrets also bore the Namfoodle crest. After surveying the area and Xander getting shot, the two decided to return to the party. The night passed, and Eggu had finally finished his preparations. The spell was cast successfully, and Eggu was able to see that the sirens have no idea that the party is destroying their robots, they are enslaving the tritons, a race of scaled humanoids that live underwater, the sirens also are working on taming the Kraken. The Shepherds were also able to discover the location of Queen Tatiana’s palace through use of Goose blowing a conch horn. Her palace is located past the south coast, deep underwater.
 * 4) After the spell had ended, Eggu and Joraxx went down to the southern coast, where Freedom of movement was cast on Joraxx, who walked the ocean floor until he found the palace and a triton village near outside. Joraxx managed to find a concealed alleyway where he talked with one of these Tritons, convincing a small group to come to the shore in a few hours and provide the party with safe passage. Joraxx returned to the party, where they confronted Saul who revealed himself to be under the effects of a Geas spell. Eggu removed this curse, and Saul was able to give the party information on the queen, along with a magical breastplate and scimitar in hopes to aid the party.
