Under The Docks

Saturday October 28th

Meet the Mantas

In their attempt to infiltrate the Sea Harpy's underground lair, the group finds themselves in a small boat, underneath a dock attached to a burning island. Moonscar and Sings to Moon are currently coursing across the island, looking for any other signs that the Sea Harpies might be evacuating their hideout from another exit. Seeker, moving through the water beside the boat with help from his magical ring, is attacked on the foot by some sort of manta ray creature. Silver changes from her Elf form into that of a Dragon and slips into the water as well. The Manta turns its attacks on the boat. Fortis has found an underwater sea-door that seems to lead to a large area beyond but is not strong enough to open the door himself. Seeker engages the manta while the others discuss how to get into the Sea Harpy lair. Arn tries to stabilize the boat while another manta joins the fray. Fortis illuminates the underwater melee and Arn starts smacking mantas when they come too close to the boat while Silver swims around trying to catch them underwater. After a few moments, they flee and swim under the sea-door into the Sea Harpy lair.

Curious as to where the mantas went, Silver pokes her head under the sea-door and lifts it up easily, revealing a wide, underground lagoon complete with a beach and dock. Valinya returns from retrieving Moonscar and Sings to Moon and the party, now back at full strength, enters the lair. Moonscar tries to convince the group that they should make their assault through one of the other entrances that the Harpies tried to burn out to surprise them but the impulsivity of the rest of the group wins out and they enter through the lagoon. Moonscar does admit that his plan had one major flaw in that everyone currently trying to put the fires out thinks that their group was actually responsible for them. After another quick tactics discussion the group moves forward into the lagoon. Several of the manta creatures can be seen swimming around at the far end of the lagoon, away from the sea-door and dock. The boat is pulled up to the dock and tied off and as the party disembarks onto the beach, it is clearly evident that the entrance that Eliar Peak had marked on his map is no where to be seen. The sandy beach leads up to a solid rock wall.
