Begin : Operation Passport Request

First attempt is Quin wanting to inherit father credentials. After the guy does a bit of poking around, he says sorry, a son already claimed it. Nobody wrote down his name but it started with an "A."
Quin rolls a good diplomacy. The guy agrees them, but it will require some Petarans in good standing to vouch for credentials, and it will take about a year. After some bribes, the guy says he can start up on a an "expedited" process - a week or two - for 700 gp total (including bear), but the vouches are a must get.
The party tries to seek their old buddy Kathkallan to vouch for them!
They decide to send a Sending through Kimika. The party goes to a bar to craft a 20 word message to Kathkallan to see if we can get him to vouch for us.

"Kathkallan, good tidings! Germain's investigator team in Udrell. Urgently need Peteran passport vouch. Can we teleport to you today?"

"Alexandria protect me! I can't believe it! Help! I was kidnapped sailing home and I'm being held for ransom but..."

Party scrys on Kathkallan.
Kathkallan, and several others, are chained up in the corner of what appears to be a cave, lit by the light of a fire.

32 Verdant 1401 FI

The party decides to have Al cast Find the Path to get a general sense of where Kathkallan is, and determines that he is on an island in the South Heretic Sea.
Al will fly to the area as an albatross ( http://www.sailnet.com/forums/seamanship-articles/19247-amazing-albatross.html ) and cast another Find the Path to get an exact location. Once he comes back, he will use the hat to teleport everyone except the bear to the island. +75xp to Al
Al finds the cave that Kathkallan is being held in and turns into a rat and familiarizes himself very well with the island and goes in to explore the cave. Both entrances to the cave have an alarm trap set on them.
{{Quinalin)) gets +50xp for rules lawyering because the alarm trap has a password on it and the Find The Path spell will let Al know that
Al speaks the password and is able to continue through deeper into the cave and comes across a wooden bridge. Then he turns back and comes home.
The password is “Open” in Peteran (+25xp to Quinalin)
+25xp to Kimika for Word of Recall prep to get us back to our hotel room as an escape route
+25xp to Kaleesarynn for the reminder that our escape will include the four captives

1 Cleansing 1401 FI

The party teleports inside the cave and prepares for battle. Kimika and Kaleesarynn use dimension door to move everyone directly to the area where the captives are being held. Surprise!
