			So back at the guild we want to interrogate the thug in the skeleton ball. The ball seems to contain about 65 corpses. Speak to the dead won't work unless we bring the entity out and we have no way of extracting the right one.

			We go to castle Chilton to report. We tell all. They want us to go and rescue the girl and all slaves. For this they will double our pay. So we still need info from the thug in the ball, and there may also be some of the Dukes guards in there who never came back.

			A divination showa that there are about 85 in there, including the missing guards. Any drawn out will be draining undead. They need to be pulled out in the dark and "killed". Then their spirits will be available to be resurrected into corpses of bad guys or to be "questioned".

			We do this in Castle Chilton with Duncan. All up we get out 19 ghosts including the thug and the guards and one very big nasty. Ernest is killed by the nasty and collected by a giant woman???

			We question the thug and find out where the prisoners are. We also find out that some but not all of the guard are bad. The tunnels are under the charge of a werewolf and a magic using cult worshipping undead.

			We send Quincey on windwalk with investeds to release the prisoners.

			We climb into Gugnir's Hope and rescue the baker girl and 3 others.

			A few days later the town guard at Gugnir's Hope is replaced, and the sheriff who was charmed is also rescued. He was charmed by a merchant refugee from the war up north. They smoke out the tunnels.

			We get a 400sp reward from some parents.

			The merchant has escaped and there is a reward out for him.

I control the lizards, we tie ourselves safely on, and we leave. From above we tell the rest of the party to scarper and we meet them on the balcony and then fly back to the ship. Did not loot the adventurer corpses!

			We sail for 3 days and get to the island with the portal. On the way we collect disgusting undead infection goop off Algie.

			We fly over the gate and recon. Our options are to try and kill Feneric or remove his curse which is preferable.

			We get together with the penguins. They pay us with a huge shark to put in the pond and turned to silver. They also have a magical treestump which produces curse removal grenades. We extract 3 and they say we can have the stump. (We later arrange for the silver shark and stump to be delivered to Seagate in 9 to 12 months, on their way back).

			We fly back to the gate and land near the pond. I approach Feneric and toss a grenade from point blank but miss. Algie throws one from a distance and is successful. Feneric transforms, shedding his minotaur form, of which I retrieve the horns.

			He is grateful and says that if Algie returns in about a year and a day with friends, he will lead them to great treasure. Then Feneric sleeps.

			We collect silver fish. Our share is the shark, one each and one spare (9500sp each)

			Ernest goes through the gate to do whatever he is here for. And I go to. And the penguins to deliver a request for aid. In there I receive a mission related to my pact, and Ernest reveals that he would like to marry me.

			We get back to the portal, which the nixes open for us. Back at dwarf hold it is two days later so we have missed our cloud. We negotiate payment in dwarf works each.

			Some options are
			:multishot crossbow/catapult
			:potions of bow aiming
			:earth lesser bracelets
			:copper nails
			:weapons that will hold weapon spell while sheathed
			:weapons that will ignore formerly living armour or non-living armour

			We feast. They then fling us back to Seagate in a magical catapult ball. (Ernest is still with us).

			Leif climbs up to the balcony. He finds a red glowing crystal and crumbled clay in a niche that must have been exposed since we were down there. It DAs as destruction and touching it nearly kills him so he leaves it, then he and Quincey come up to the top of the tower. Meanwhile the rats and Algie have come to the other side of the gap and Algie is trying to get across to the tower, followed by 30 or so rats by now.

			Since Billy and I cannot be attacked by the basilisk and Algie is keeping the rats occupied Billy goes to the keep in search of another way and and I go to get Ernest

			Billy finds that the large keep and contains some undead dead adventurers which he takes out with his axe.

			I run over to the hydra and drag the statue of Ernest to the doorway of the keep.

			Just as I get him there and the undead are dispatched the stone magic comes of and everything wakes up. The bites at where Ernest was, roars and sets off in the wrong direction. Ernest and I step into the keep with Billy. Ernest tells me that I will have 3 great children and that the second will be the best.

			Inside the keep are a number of skeletal flying lizards chained up and riding gear for them. There is also a ramp out to the roof for leaving by. I control the lizards, we tie ourselves safely on, and we leave. From above we tell the rest of the party to scarper and we meet them on the balcony and then fly back to the ship.

			===Session 9===
			Billy, Algie and I climb up (unseens replaced). From the eyes of the skull waterfalls flow. At the hairline level is a worked flat area that we call the balcony. There are a door at each end and 6 stone figures.

			We pick the door at the left end and go up a spiral staircase with stairs 35' wide and a 20' core, which debouches at the top of a 40' tall windowless tower in a courtyard. There is a 20' gap to a staircase down (would originally have had a drawbridge) and a larger freestanding keep a short way off.

			There are tracks of heavy cloven footed bipedal entities having traversed the area repeatedly over a two year period, but not within the last month or so

			The sun is setting over a battle in stone, including a 6 headed hydra.

			We put across a rope to cross the gap to the stairway and go down to the courtyard. There are hoofprints down here too, and they seem to have removed many of the "humanoid" side of the battle, leaving monsters - minotaurs, bear-men, orcs, goblins etc.

			The hydra has one set of its jaws around our rescuee, about to snap shut.

			We spot a rat creature at the exit arch from the courtyard to the jungle of the rest of the island. Algie skewers it with a crossbow bolt and goes to investigate.

Some 70 or so mermen are pursuing the ship. The crew will sail round to keep them occupied. We are told that if we die on this island we can't be brought back as we will be turned to stone.

			At about 4pm we go ashore with difficulty due to the reef. We take two skins to maybe throw over the head of the multi-headed thing. We walk up the riverside to the lake. There are slithery tracks everywhere and webs of shed skins through the trees that would turn us to stone if we touched them, so we all go walking unseen. As we approach the lake there are also very thick spider webs down to about 10 ft.

			At the lake we hear siren singing and Q and L fail to resist. I grab Q to stop him and L is immune to water so doesn't drown. Billy controls him and brings him out. I grab the sash, put by head in the water and tell them to leave my boys alone.

			Algie starts to walk around the lake. A woman of kelp and water comes out of the lake and says something like "Priestess, retrieve your fallen". but it is hard to hear. Then we remember that we have mud in our ears to resist the sirens. She slips back into the water as we come close and leaves a conch on the sand (flash flood).

			We climb up the cliff. On the way up we find a stone hobbit that has been changed by basalisk gaze. We realise that our unseens have all come off.

			We fight the crocodily thing, which has a big clubby tail that it can hit with, and also two siblings. Then a giant crocodile herder comes along and smacks me on the back of the head a couple of times. Quincey has the bright idea to tie the giant bollock amulet to one of the crocs.

			The giant is duly enraged at the croc and dives on it. This causes its backpack to explode killing all remaining enemies but only injuring some of us.

			We retrieve 64 croc teeth, 32 claws, 3 skins, some guts and a ring (protection) and a dart (damage) from the guts. The giant has nothing remaining intact except giant boots but they are not magical.

			We load up and get back to the boat and the crew help to start to cure the skins. (Half of the living crew are no longer living).

			We sail up the river till about 11-12pm, then walk the rest of the way over the centre of the island (this has to be in the dark because of the baboons. It is about 6 miles and takes 2 hours. There are a couple of Destinian ships in the bay, and a village of 5 houses. We head for the weird one to visit yet another witch.

			We trade in the croc teeth for 20 +5/+5 amulets of luck and a 4ft across wooden bowl to be used for divining which direction to go.

			The witch thinks that
			*the rat queen has cursed the crew and that an elf will help us on the pirate island (maybe Carrion who already did).
			*the 4th door along the corridor, on the right is correct
			*the baker will befriend us and betray us to slay the girl, but we need to befriend him to find her sister.
			* the 3rd in command of the rats would gladly betray the two above him and not pursue us.

			Quincey who is waiting outside makes friends with a dog, who tells him that there are bad men in the water with webbed fingers and water in there heads. And bad small men in the trees. He wants to show some bones to Quincey but Q is reluctant so the dog brings back a dagger sheath (preservation of duration), then a dagger (glamour) then a belt trying to convince him.

			We figure that we don't have time to get back to the ship before dawn walking, but the witch says that if a celestial drinks the cocnut milk they will be able to cast wave riding. The coconuts are in a massive unstable pile and there is something dangerous inside the pile, but they can be retrieved carefully. Unfortunately Leif cannot drink so we use a funnel and some of the gut of the croc (animated by me) to pour the milk into his stomach. After nearly killing him, but leaving him immune to 9pts draining per day, this succeeds.

			We now have plenty of time to get back and decide to follow the dog.

			There is a patch of magical purple plants (attraction) which also cause hallucinations and a 20' tall animated tree tending them. After escaping the plants we have a few gems. We send Quincey in tied to a rope with counterspells to find the treasure but he gets put to sleep by a giant mushroom and we have to pull him out. His hair also falls out.

			We surf the river back to the top and down to the ship. One of the croc skins they have been working on has become resistant to 2pts of undead drain.

			We sail back to the Dwarvish Kings about mid day and use the divining bowl. We get it wrong and end up back at the pirate island. We sail back to the Dwarvish Kings, another 2 days and try again. This time we re at an island with a coral reef that the crew thinks is the right place.

			Billy flies over as a swan and finds the expected lake in the middle. There is a skull fortress carved into the cliffs at the edge of the lake. There seem to be 30 or so figures manning the walls but nothing is moving. In the centre is a frozen tableau of 3 fighting a multi-headed creature. The humans look about to lose.

			Some 70 or so mermen are pursuing the ship. The crew will sail round to keep them occupied. We are told that if we die on this island we can't be brought back as we will be turned to stone.
