# [[126_20240409 Green-haired sea elves and invisible captains]]
![[126_20240409.svg]]
## Session Summary
> [!tldr] [[126_20240409 Green-haired sea elves and invisible captains]]
> Scura did a Sending to Arden after hearing a lot about him from Nika, and Arden responded telling her to find the Keepers of the Seasons.
>
> We boarded The Intrepid Mermaid and were told not to go snooping around to the cargo. We immediately used our spells to snoop around in general, and Scura found an invisible red-haired woman sneaking around and trying to get into the Captain's headquarters. We followed her to the forbidden hold, where we met a large almost horse-sized panther-like creature named Ayzar who was growling and stalking inside a cage... and the red-haired woman, still invisible.
>
> Just then, Imedia came down the steps, demanding to know what we were doing in the hold where we knew we weren't allowed to go. Wally told her we'd found an intruder on the ship. ^summary

## Recap
![[ttrpgs/Temporary White Circle/125_20240402 Music of the Sea#^summary]]
---
## Log
- Lived all his life in the wilds
- son of [[Lord Sumerian]], the lord of [[Ambervale]]
- Strong guy, orange hair, strong face, orange eyes
- tattoos on his face
- looks like a perfect tree in autumn
- Nika was on the run from hags, feeling lost, and they found her
- They were sitting under a tree (maybe K-I-S-S-I-N-G) and then suddenly Nika was in [[ttrpgs/Temporary White Circle/Rexxentrum|Rexxentrum]] with [[Kai Arness|her father]] and his pet mage [[Luric Adronoss|Luric]]. She had felt pulled back, like she'd been Summoned. Kai was furious and didn't believe it was Nika at first.
#sending to [[Arden]]
> This is Scura, Nika's friend. She is safe and trying to find a way back to you. She loves you. misses you. Remembers the tree.
His response:
> Many moons have passed since I heard that name, but Nika has never been far from my thoughts. Seek [[The Keepers of the Seasons]].
Is Arden a worshipper of [[Sehanine]]? Nika says she's not sure if Sehanine is popular in the Wilds, but neither Nika nor Arden was ever very religious. I tell the group that in [[The Pallid Grove]], we keep time using [[Cathar Calendar|moons]] and that the "Many moons" part of what Arden said sounded like something we might say. Nika said that the moon IS a constant/important thing in the Wilds. Nika wouldn't have wanted to worship a goddess that's not even acceptable in [[The Dwendalian Empire|The Empire]]. They did enjoy the full moon, though.
We get on [[The Intrepid Mermaid]]. It's a small ship.
- Only [[Karmilla Duskbloom|Milla]] knows anything about ships. She knows it's smaller and less robust than the ships her father used to go on.
- The ship can carry about 20 people.
- [[Imedia]] the half-orc barking orders to the others, [[Bran]], [[Three Earrings]], [[ttrpgs/Temporary White Circle/Dillyu|Dillyu]] the green-complexioned sea elf who is young and super keen and really hot, [[U'legraf]].
- ![[twc-dillyu.png]]
- ![[twc-captain-three-earrings.png]]
- Two ballistae for ship-to-ship combat
- Four rules
- 1. Obey all the rules of the captain.
- 2. Make yourself useful whether you're paying passengers or not. Everyone on the ship looks out for everyone else.
- 3. Thieves and thievery will be tried and punished immediately by her, the captain.
- 4. The hold is out of bounds to passengers.
- ![[twc-intrepid-mermaid.png]]
We set off around 11 pm!
It'll take about 2.5 days to get to [[ttrpgs/Temporary White Circle/Port Damali|Port Damali]]. We'll be going past [[The Twinward Isles]].
[[ttrpgs/Temporary White Circle/Melora|Melora]] is the goddess of the sea.
Xenia casts *Arcane lock* on our one room door, *Alarm*, *Private Sanctum*, *Magnificent mansion*.
Xenia casts *Detect magic* and Scura casts *See invisibility*.
Xenia sees a ring of invisibility. I see an invisible woman with red hair who is totally [[Barnacle Betty]].
[[ttrpgs/Temporary White Circle/Dillyu|Dillyu]]
- There are about 10-12 people on the ship.
- He's only been here 3 days.
- He's from [[Port Zoon]].
- Wally tells him there might be a ghost on the ship and that he should let us know if he sees anything. I tell him I can perform an exorcism.
- Three Earrings took over for a previous captain that mysteriously died.
Oops, we almost gank [[U'legraf]] when we go into his room by accident, thinking it was [[Barnacle Betty]]...
Everyone has *Eyes of Night*.
I cast *Faerie Fire*.
- In the hold
- big crate, some smaller crates.
- cage with a large creature snoozing: large panther. Not a displacer beast. it has two tusks. Goat-like eyes. It's almost horse-sized.
- ![[twc-moorbounder.png]]
- Nika casts *Speak with animals on it!*
- It's near where the [[Eternal Night City]] is: marshlands and plains and mud east are its home. Low foothills. It's far from its home. It travelled many moons to get here. Sometimes they made it sleep.
- The cat lady (Three Earrings) was taking orders. She wasn't the one who was in charge of capturing it, it doesn't sound like... she received them in the cage already. And Barnacle Betty also isn't the one-- seemed like they hadn't smelled her previously.
- Their name is [[Ayzar]].
- Others of Ayzar's kind let humanoids ride them.
Roll for initiative!
