The home of goldenfire (Afina, Jaela, Surraruthru)

[Anastasia]

OOC to begin this one.

1. Who is going with you three?

2. What do you know about your mission here, so I'm clear on what you know IC.

[Ebiris]

We'll take Kascha, shouldn't need more NPCs than that. Then we know there's an undersea volcano on Thalasia that we have to take the key to, hopefully that's specific enough for us to gate to since we don't have anything more specific than that. The key will hopefully open the way or something to let us in and find the first embers.

[Corwin]

I'm fine with that.

[Iron Dragoon]

I can supply Cloak of the Sea or Transformation of the Deeps for water breathing, freedom of movement, ect. for underwater stuff.

[Anastasia]

For the sake of ship loot we'll say it's still processing, Jaela.

You appear. It is warm here, pleasant like a summer day without any undue heat or humidity. A soft sea breeze rustles all of you. You stand on a small sandbank, barely above sea level. As all of you bask in this, you have a strong sense that you must head below the waves, that what you seek lies below.

Kascha is delegated with holding the key since she made it, and Afina walks over to put a toe in the water as the gate closes up behind her. She's wearing suitably aquatic attire, a glistening blue-white dress with jellyfish-like fronds trailing from her skirt and a white hat styled rather like a squid's tail perched atop her head. "How is everyone for underwater survival?" she asks. "I can provide water breathing, or an elemental transformation if needed."

[Iron Dragoon]

Surraruthru begins chanting in arcane speech and casts a spell into the Tapestry, to aid all.

Cloak of the Sea, CL 25, Duration: 25 Hours.
While underwater, the subject functions as if affected by blur, freedom of movement, and water breathing and doesn't take nonlethal damage from water pressure or hypothermia for the duration of the spell.

Also, annotating pre-loading Resist Energy: Fire/Cold/Acid/Sonic into Tapestry.

Also casting Epic Mage Armor on Self. Will put up stat block after work.

[Corwin]

"Let's go with that," Jaela agrees, having chosen to rely on her robes once more. "I'll save my own spell for that."

[Anastasia]

Cool.

Magic is woven around all of you, "Thank you," Kascha says, kneeling and running her hand through the waters. Sea spray splashes at all of you as the ocean waves lash against the sandbar. "Only way to go is down, then?"

[Ebiris]

"Lets not keep it waiting any longer then," Afina says, walking into the surf and vanishing beneath the waves once it gets deep enough (which is a lot quicker for her than it is for Kascha and Jaela) before swimming along the undersea shelf.

[Corwin]

Jaela decides to keep by Kascha's side, just in case.

[Anastasia]

Aw, so cute.

All of you swim down. The waters are pleasantly warm and light penetrates easily. No dark depths here as you go down, the waters staying clear and well lit. Also, something odd. There's no easily seen undersea shelf or anything like that. The sandbar floats where it is, nothing supporting it beneath. You can see the depths go down farther than you can see. If anything, they get brighter as you go down.

[Ebiris]

Could be light from red hot magma or somesuch! Inverting herself vertically, Afina glides through the water as she swims straight down once past the sandbar.

[Anastasia]

All of you begin to swim down.

Round of Spot checks.
