4U 16: Shark Bait

The RPG SAGA continues in the 4th Universe
with "The Dream Team" of:
Koriel "Kori" the aasimar (human-looking) arcane archer,
Aegle the winged elf kensei monk,
& Malath the half-elf rogue/bard!

DM Note
Puff’s player did an amazing job working his new character into the group. This session's title "Shark Bait" comes from the insult hurled back and forth between the pirate first mate and Kori. We had a lot of fun and ran out of time, but there’s always next week...

4U Session 16 Log
Homebrew Campaign (Alternate Forgotten Realms)
[Modules: Modified Talon of Umberlee]
Kori and Aegle, still at Elvenport, decided to stay for the extended funeral services and reception to honor the life of Prince Mursalin. Aegle gave Lord Riverrest the dead body of Ariela to properly dispose of (though he kept a feather). Aegle also made a memorial painting for the services.

Two days later, along with the other special guests, the old long-bearded human called “The Green Wizard” showed up in his TREATISE [a.k.a. TREE-T – a teleporting tree like the TARDIS from Doctor Who] with the bard Malath. The Green Wizard introduced Malath to Lord Riverrest, Kori, and Aegle. Malath played music for the services and joined the adventuring group. The silver dragon also showed up to the reception, in elf form, and discussed the team’s progress in the region.

The Green Wizard agreed to use the TREATISE to teleport the Dream Team to the fields outside Waterdeep so they could go in and try to hire a cleric to join them. Unfortunately, everyone seemed to tell them that not a lot of high level clerics were available in the world. They spent some time talking with a Waukeen priest and selling extra gear at a wizard’s shop (to the apprentice, who gave them good prices).

After staying at the Jade Lily Pad for the night, they went out in the morning to the ruins of the Lathander temple and found the halfling Captain Littlechin, who recruited to go out to see and rescue the captured Lathander cleric that had stolen the Talon of Umberlee (which had been stolen back by pirates and Sahuagin).

In the dark of night Kori, Aegle, and Malath took a dinghy from Littlechin’s ship out to the pirate flotilla, where they killed the kraken priest and most of the pirates; in the end, they let 4 human pirates (3 women and 1 man) live and they prepared for the possible arrival of the Sahuagin forces.
