Scribe Notes

1st Meadow, Summer 802, Dryad moon Seagate, city of beggars, guild meeting. We have been hired by California Smith, a male human and renound plunderer of temples and holy places, member of the Gentlefolk’s Exploration Academy formerly of the fine city of Novadon. Our mission is to locate plunder, especially writings and pottery, within ruins on Geydion’s island which has recently risen in the island group of Pasifika some four thousand miles south of Seagate. Conducting our meeting on Grendils pleasure ship, we are treated to fine food and wines after passing the incompetent peasant guards. California informs us of the local rumours after which Felicity, Grendil and Killramadram try and decide who has the biggest god between them, from what I’ve heard Grendil’s goddess is biggest…in all the right places if you get my meaning. Felicity then leaves to do some astrology readings while we enjoy ourselves getting to know each other. Pillage Sought Grendils Pleasure Ship Rumour Mill The island was briefly used by a merchant group as a trading base which was violently destroyed with all the captives/bodies taken, recovery and or rescue of the socially significant would be appreciated. The western kingdom church has sent some preachers of various orders to “convert the heathen savages” to use their words. They will no doubt be intent on competitive pillaging, curse them all, and the friendly local chiefs would like them to leave. After a productive spring the local merfolk and Sahugan are conducting intense summer cullings upon each other’s populations. 2 nd – 10 th Meadow Leaving upon the well fitted out and oft-renamed ship the Seabird, Silverfoam drills us in combat tactics. 11th Meadow We are all dumped into the ocean by exuberant sailors, evidently we have just crossed the midpoint of Elusia and this is the traditional place to cast passengers overboard. 13 th Meadow While rescuing three bedraggled humans we find adrift upon a raft a large group of sharks appears which are promptly slaughtered by Silverfoam with a beef and garlic salami in a frenzy of blood and foam. The follow up ambush from the ocean depths involves some young Sahugan louts who have the temerity to attempting to board the ship, most we push overboard only having to get Killramadram to sternly punish a few of the more persistent, capturing the leader to give a dressing down afterwards. The Bloody Salami Fishman Captive Being a sensitive soul I could not bring myself to watch as Grendil used some very effective ‘la douleur et l’anguish’ interrogation techniques upon the Shaughan which divulged to him that they were a group on patrol and had been keeping the humans which were captured in confederation bay to use as bait to capture passing ships with. It seems they are part of a militant undersea kingdom with the following command structure. Gods..……...Lord (Forneus, Furcalor or possibly Crocell) Nobility……King…….Baron Commoners.General …OverCapitan….Capitan….Commander ( Our Shaughan ) Tiring of the Shaughan’s company, Killramadram executes him, breaking his neck and throwing the body overboard where the sharks disposed of all evidence. The captives, when recovered could remember little of events apart from being towed upon an underwater raft drawn by sharks and mistreated. The generous captain of the Seabird agreed to return them to Seagate where they can recover. 17 th Meadow Land is sighted. Scouting of the church of lighters encampment shows five chapels each surrounded by a gaggle of tents, it seems Michael, Raphael, Urael, Belial/Sammael and Gabrael are represented. A column of smoke rises from a newly formed volcanic cone in the centre of the island which is barren apart from a few palms starting to grow on the coast. Sailing past where the trading post was located we make landfall at the ruined city of Pacifica where the gentlefolk’s exploration academy has camped. There are several active portals here to various other places and the local temples are dedicated to Apollo, Hades and such. We establish camp in a cleared out building across from the museum and library which has been systematically plundered already by the academics. Brageon adds some homey touches as we settle in with private rooms and a bath.
