The Daggerwake

As you ready yourself, to descend into the murky depths, one Ellin Vohr, a single mother and coral diver, volunteers to take you to a place called the Wailing Spiral. It is a small but strong vortex about a mile out. She hands you each a weighted belt to keep you from floating upward. She tells you, "The Wailing Spiral is a quick way to reach the bottom. It's about fifty feet down and puts you out onto a sandy kelp flat. Once there you'll have to follow the currents north by northeast. Beware though, there are Driftkin down there. They look like giant mackerel only with bigger mouths...oh, and bigger teeth!" She smiles as if to illustrate the toothy grin of the Driftkin fish.

It takes you an hour to get to the Wailing Spiral. A sound like a man wailing comes from the vortex itself. It is a large circle (60' diamiter) of spiraling water...

Con roll: Need 13 or less

You head down the funnel of water and it carries you, tumbling and spinning. It seems as if you've been in this slipstream of water for an insurmountable time when you are ejected into open ocean.

You gently float down to the floor of a sunken ruin, now no more than a few pillars and a couple arches. You sense this place has seen recent use and that you are not invaders. To the North lies your path. A kelp forest, a mile further down. You look up and see the shimmering grayness of the surface world above, dim and undulating. You look about to check on your companions as you prepare for the long walk to find the Path Unseen.

Biscuit looks around to make sure his companions are with him and then starts walking.

Need to add travel event to the list.

Day 1

You walk across the sandy bottom making good time. The water temperature drops slightly and visibilty decreases slightly due to murky water. You don't run into anything that wants to eat you, but you find an abandoned piece of ruined tower which looks like a good place to rest.

Indeed this tower seems to be used by travelers. There is a dry vault in the tower. It seems strange to find this oddity, but there are some runes in dwarvish and elvish. "Welcome all who are weary. May you find rest. May you quench your thirst. May you eat and be full."

Beneath these runes are vessels of clay. One of these is hot to the touch, but once you open the lid it is like an oven. The left one contains fresh water, the right one contains bread, cheese and dried fish.

You find a few items hidden under the stonework.

Biscuit is going to take a small sip of the potion to test its effects. He says: "I hope this is whiskey because this halfling needs a drink."
