Aboard the dead ship, the druid, Sheena, and Victaerus watched, backed by the rest of the boarding party. The Sandman warned the oncoming group not to proceed, holding a torch over the hold. Sheena went invisible and rushed up to him. He dropped the torch and Sheena caught it. The sandman dropped through the floor as sand running between the planks. The Druid turned ethereal and dropped below, just in time to see the Sandman grab another torch from the wall and toss it into a pile of scrolls and black powder. A blast erupted, magical burst followed by the explosion.

The party of Corrail, Felix, the tiger, Yuri the winter wolf, Kiva, Chum the golem, and the rest defeated the two Dark Nagas. The creatures nearby in the shadows skittered off into cracks and crevices into parts unknown. Kiva suggested the party rest here. Chum reinforced the door. Felix searched the room and found nothing of value, not even food.
Felix pulled a portable campsite from his back and started a fire for cooking.
Kiva drew up a magical circle and began to meditate, looking for clues of these creatures that skittered away. After a couple of hours she emerged from her silence. "There is good news and bad news. The good news is that they are small proteans that won't be an issue. The bad news is that proteans are not of this plane and there may be more around."
The party rested through the night without issue.
Rested and well fed, the party got back underway. Down the hall they found an entrance into a large bowl-shaped room. In the center of the room, two large golden statues of humanoids stood, perhaps 3 times taller larger than the party members. Kiva yelled to the party to stay put and rushed toward them with Chum, tossing an amulet to Felix. Chum immediately took to attacking the statues. They cracked and light spilled out of the cracks.
Kiva took to the air as she approached, flying over the statues' heads as she reached them. She began chanting and casting and a small dot of light grew on the floor between them. The party stayed back. The statue cracked by Chum began to move. It struck at him and took his arm cleanly off sending a shower of sparks as it cut through his adamantium form.
The dot of light grew to a circle, engulfing the statues, Chum and Kiva. After a moment, the circle of light began pulling in Chum and then the statues and Kiva, appearing to rip them apart as they fell in.
Then there was an explosion and the sound almost like rain.
---
The rain was a wave of acid falling from no where, filling the bowl-shaped room. Don the magnificent, Elliot and his mount, Sandra, and Muroku were caught by the wave and pulled into the green, caustic lake, melting them almost instantly. Corrail, Felix, the tiger, and Yuri were hit by some of the wave, and though burned, kept out of the bulk of the wave.
Astonishingly, atop the newly formed lake was a piece of a ship sinking slowly into the acid. Aboard it, the druid, Sheena, and Victaerus still faced the sandman who was now melting into the acid seeping between the planks. Across the room was a single door exit. Sheena figured they only had perhaps 30 seconds before the ship piece would sink into the acid.
There was some shouting and it became apparent that the group aboard the ship was fighting the sandman. Sheena fired off an arrow and the druid surrounded the sandman with a wall of air. The tiger jumped over to the ship, nearly falling off, but helped by Yuri. Felix flew over to the exit door. Slowly the rest of the party got across the ship to the exit door. The druid gave Victaerus air walk to get her safely along the way.

The new party discussed their situation and the dwarf , grumbling about not liking to be on land, and Sheena and Victaerus agreed to tag along with the remnants of the shadowrunners along their trek through the temple. They followed the corridor farther into the temple, finding first an empty hallway and then a room. All along the way, the shiny-armored Victaerus led the way with the rogue in tow, checking for traps.
The room was odd shaped and there was a chest visible from the door. Victaerus and Felix went in and Fleix was ambushed by a squirt from a flumph floating in the corner, leaving him stinking for all to smell. Victaerus turned over the flumph. Felix took a close look at the chest and realized it was moving. Victaerus, the tiger, and Felix took clear as the druid called out for a clear shot. He blasted the chest with a blast of wind that sent it into the wall. Its true nature then emerged with tentacles and sharp teeth. The chest was a mimic. The party waylaid on it and it died quickly. Felix found a measly 23 gold pieces in it.
The party skipped the next room that had a series of statues, each with 2 arms and 2 legs and 1 face on each of the four sides.
Further down the corridor they found an empty room. And that is where our story stops for now.

So the new party is:
- Elven ranger Corrail
- Ninja Sheena
- Half-elf druid / Rogue Felix
- Dwarf druid "The Druid"
- Victaerus, a 16 year old girl fighter guard from Neverwinter
Probably at some point either Sheena or Corrail may leave the party (currently one player is playing both).
So it looks like we have spots for at least two more players.
