JUNE 8

-- Upon exploring the ship, recovering goodies, and reading the wizard's log about his attempts to drain power from magic items and enspell his pet crocodile Chompy, the characters exit the crashed ship.

-- They are met with Larista, a human servant of the Nixie Chieftain Mhartryn.  She explains that her mistress needs their help, and they were sent seeking the party after a consultation with the Father Trees, who told the Nixies that the party had previously aided Zinnia and Birch, the dryads.

-- The Nixie queen explains that her two children, Mary and Sue, were sucked into a magical portal along with a lot of river water.  the portal was created by a magical artifact, a bracelet-sized circlet, that apparently fell along with the galleon The Storm Voyager.  Mhartryn sent both servants and her own warriors in to retrieve her daughters, but no one has yet come back

-- The Nixie queen casts Water breathing on the party with a kiss, then leads them underwater to said portal.

-- The party goes through, and find themselves in an ancient desert tomb, now completely filled with river water.

-- The party explores the tomb, picking up several valuable trinkets and fighting first a pair of mummies, and then a pair of undead mummified leopards. Through a number of hard-fought battles, the party vanquishes them all.

-- The party find the two young Nixies but no other survivors.  They beat a hasty retreat back through the portal before it collapses.

-- The Nixie queen has a tearful reunion with her daughters and lets the party keep the dagger of light, the magic sword, and the circlet (which now appears broken and powerless).  She is in their debt.


JUNE 9

-- The party heads back to the wrecked ship the next day to loot it some more.

-- They run into a group of dwarf thieves, who they beat handily.


JUNE 10

-- Late the next day, the party nears the outskirts of Fractured Hill when Kitten the Owlbear bites through her hatrness and thrashes about.

-- She makes for a nearby barn, smashing into it, eating a goat in two bites and terrifying the other occupants, including a halfling couple in the hayloft.

-- The farm owner, Tom Huddle, angrily confronts the party as Kitten builds her nest out of his ruined barn.  Huddle insists they must be in cahoots with his hate neighbor Norris, who he suspects of other mischief such as burning his shed, filling his well with rocks, and painting his cows green.
