Location: Brannon Bodger's house (long abandoned)
After taking a night to rest, the group heads back to the staircase to the cellar, which opens up to a large room with putrid water on either side, with bones and icky stuff upon the shores. Ella throws an ever-burning torch into the middle of the room, and she sees a black dragon in the water, which is Simona. The dragon attacks, and combat begins!
After a long battle of almost no damage, Fafnir and Ajax finally do some massive critical damage and kill the dragon! Ajax searches the water and finds pink tourmaline and the Halfling Talisman of Concordance. Elrond finds a Lesser Healing Potion, and a bunch of wine bottles in the cellar.
The group heads back to the Leshies, who are quite happy to find that Simona has been killed! Apparently they were lying about not wanting her dead. They prepare a feast (of rotted wood) in celebration. They give the group a scroll case that a human left behind long ago, which contains a Scroll of [[Remove Curse]]. Lini and Ella help tend to the fungal gardens. We gain +1 faction with the leshies.
We start our journey back to Bardaga, but Fafnir and Droogami are still cursed and diseased. Ella uses the scoll of Remove Curse to cure Fafnir, and she, along with Lini cure his diseases. Ella uses [[Claim Curse]] to repeatedly take the curse away and heal Droogami.
After returning to town, the group runs into Silvia Westwind, who introduces them to a cleric who can remove the curse for 40g. We show Silvia the talismans, and let her try it on, but it doesn't seem to automatically size to her wrist like it does to the rest of us.
Rewards:.
321+527g=848g (169.6 g /person)
Lifting Belt
Silvia Westwind tells the group of her recent adventures, where she learned that the Orcs will soon attack South Fork (which to Silvia means within the next year). The group decides to use their time wisely, and heads to the next tug of the talismans to head to the north. They find themselves approaching the coast, and the pull appears to be farther into the [[Sea of Storms]].
While journeying, adventures tell the group that the best place to get a boat is Nal's Landing. After arriving, they go to the Rusty Scupper to hopefully find a ship. Lini discusses knots with some sailors with great success, Fafnir falls off a rope trying to show off bouncing along a rope then joins in a fist fight (for fun) and gets beat up (Ajax joins and does ok), Elrond discusses Astronomy with his vast knowledge and fails terrible at cards (losing 4gp), Ajax and Ella chat with a captian some, and Ella fails to recognize another captains religious symbol.
Captain Lucien has seen our good feats, and is low on crew, so he offers them a place on his ship for 13g per week to sail towards out destination. He says they will be leaving in the morning.
The following morning, Captain Lucien, along with hung over two sailors, board the ship (the Dark Mermaid) with the party are taught how to sail along the way. After some days at sea, another ship is spotted in the distance, and is approaching speedily.
