Act 9 - Chimera Cove

[Vardaen]

"No, we have no maps that have endured all these decades." The three look at one another, then to Targas and excuse themselves a moment. They go outside, and you can hear them chatting with one another, a emotional conversation. Then they return a few minutes later.

Targas leads, "They have agreed to tell you all they can with the promise to share it with no one and to use it to stop Poltur." You have already basically done so, but you affirm your desire to help and so they continue on. Cirllia explains,"...that when a holy symbol of Lugus is dropped into the center of the cove on 5 fathoms of silver line, seawalls rise up to connect the islands with the shore and with each other, and the water level in the enclosed cove gradually drops. The receding waters will reveal a cave mouth in the Lion, normally hidden below the low-tide mark, which stands tall enough to allow the entry of a medium-sized ship. We also know that this cave mouth is the entrance to a network extending through all three islands. But all of this is secondhand information, for none of us has actually been within the concealed port, as it is extensively trapped and very dangerous."

Nate takes a deep breath, rubbing the back of his neck with one hand. He can barely imagine the amount of mechanical or arcane effort it would take to move that much water, much less have it last the years. "Holy symbols of Lugus aren't hard to come across, although 5 fathoms of silver line might be. We could melt down that amount of silver without too much problem, but we'd need a talented silversmith to make it thin but not fragile."

OOC

5 fathoms = 9.14 meters = ~30 feet

Lineos perks up when hearing about the hidden cove and port, he has never been on out on water and the idea of a hidden port inside an underwater cove is unfathomable to him. He looks around to see the others reactions and is surprised to not see any reactions, as far as he can tell, he leans back on his chair and looks on, at the elders wondering if they might know of a place where he could lead his people to, I better ask them upon returning he says to himself.

"I can work metal, though I have never made a fine chain. I could try." Torias says. "I shall also meditate and find a way to better find traps. Let's get to work."

[Muskrat]

"I can supply the holy symbol of Lugus easily enough," says Dreams, tapping the one, paired with the symbol of Junil, hanging from her neck.

[Vardaen]

Erthic sighs, "Well if you didn't com prepared that's fine. I know of a hidden silver line, just for this case." You realize that the letter you collected from the Baron did mention these items being needed by Poltur.

"We've had these items hidden away for ages, just in case, but we had hoped to never need them."

[Grimbold]

"Well then, we shall start out tomorrow." Torias says. "I should like to pray and meditate before we begin."

Action

I'd like to prepare some Find Traps spells, but if absolutely necessary, we can also go now. What time of day is it?

[Muskrat]

Dreams is silent a moment and says, "I would like to rest as well--but there is the question of how fast Poltur can move. I would like to face him before he summons this undead dragon-turtle, not after."

[ManWithDoor]

Nate nods. He could take some time to craft more bullets, but he has made plenty on the trip here. He doesn't need to rest to suddenly be able to use a gun again. The benefits of alchemy over magic, he supposes. "I can join a watch for the night at least. Help some of the locals get more sleep than they might otherwise."

[Hungry Xenomorph]

"I can assist Nate if need be, i do not mind helping the local folk out, if you do not mind it." Lineos gives Nate a little nod.
