Team MeFight Thirty-Sixth Session

A TRIUMPHANT RETURN AFTER A HALF-YEAR HIATUS.

New FGII Setup!

Spent a day fiddling around with crap and talking to Gnomblins.
Kib wrangled his fighting force. Mostly unsuccessfully.
Marwynn played with the altar.
- Discovering that it's Abjuration powered by Necromancy, she decided to bleed into it. This made the magic stronger.
- She decided to then bleed into it significantly. 20 hp in, it started draining Con. She stopped and Cured Serious on herself.
- Upon asking, Goracle mentioned that they usually keep it fed by sacrificing themselves.
The gang decided the lighthouse is the place to hit first. This was mostly arbitrary. Thoven sent his pseudodragon to investigate, and investigate he did.
- It's made of stone. (Actually, it turns out, it is made of coral.)
- The top has a light coming out of semi-parabolic, polished silver dish. It points in what would intuitively be a pretty stupid direction to point a lighthouse, since no established shipping route goes that way, or would go to that section of the island, or indeed have anything to do with it whatsoever.
- Lights also come from the windows at each landing.

The gang started the long hike.
Easiest path was by archipelago. In order to avoid having to swim, Marwynn used castings of fly, and Thoven castings of enlarge person, to carry people in shifts.
Almost to the other side, the party is ambushed by fireball-type electric spell, sourced from a Sahuagin shaman beneath the waves. He is accompanied by two dire sharks. Since they are not eating him, it is presumed that he is controlling them.
Fighting ensues.
- It mostly consists of Anise (carrying Thoven and Tana) and Kib (carrying Gil, Thed, and Marwynn) flying as quickly as possible to the shore, while ranged people take shots.
- Gil dimension doors into the water, only to get almost swallowed by a dire shark, and torn into by the other, before dimension dooring to shore.
- Kib almost gets held in midair, disastrously, but manages a Will save.
- Marywnn something water mephit something doesn't accomplish much.
- Thoven generally saves the day by lobbing magic missiles and fireballs until the shaman bites the dust. He manages to do so just before the completion of a summon earth elemental spell that would have made being on the beach a lot less fun.
- Corpse is immediately consumed, so no phatlootz. C'est la vie.

Marwynn remembers she has divination, so she asks whether the item we seek is in the lighthouse. Abs was going to cook up a response.

10xp each for attempting a directed whisper and succeeding
50xp for Anise for ratting out Marwynn being marked as level 8, but only being level 7
250xp each for figuring out a relatively non-lethal method of crossing the mini-archipelago
- 30 bonus xp per fly (4) for Marwynn
- 10 bonus xp per enlarge person (4) for Thoven
The fight:
- Level 9s: 600xp
- Level 8s: 750xp (I think Thed is 8, so half of this? -slith)
- Level 7s: 900xp
