Oh no! Not Again!

The voyage continues as the Blue Nixie and the Sea Wyvern sail down the coastline, getting closer to the horn of the peninsula where the Azure Sea and the Vohoun Ocean meet. Lavinia has the fleet stopped to weather out a very bad patch of fog, that rolls in as night falls.

During the night a flotsam ooze attaches itself to the Sea Wyvern and begins to attack the people on the deck. The ooze was transparent and sticky, at one point in the fight, it had several of the ships defenders grappled. The party defeated the ooze and Rudolpho jump into the water to search the debris that had been suspended in the ooze, and found several items on six boney corpses.

As the voyage resumes Father Feres becomes violently ill, and for several days can't keep anything down. One afternoon, Father Feres runs up topside and tears at his clothings and writhes on the deck in agony. A blue slaad tears its way out of his belly and begins to attack the nearest person. This is a tough and grueling battle, the blue even gates in another slaad (red) to fight. The party manages to survive the pummeling and win the day. Father Feres does not survive.

After a few more days, Rudolpho complains about a strange metallic taste in his food. The investigation reveals nothing, other than Newt is spending a lot of time in the galley. Vin begins to feel strange, only to awaken one morning and his skin has turned blue. Urol and Z suspect that Vin's elven heritage is probably sea-elf, and the prolonged exposure to the sea has brought about the manifestation. Lavinia thinks Vin is as handsome as ever.

At one of Lavinia's dinners she announces that the plans to stop and the ruins of the Tamoachan. The party grumbles, but Lavinia presses to Vin that their could be adventure and treasure. Daria also suggests that this is a good time to reform Avner, and drafts him into the shore party. Avner grudgingly goes along. On the hour hike there, Urol mentions that their might be a large reptile guarding the ruins. Urol, after being badgered, reveals that he got the information from a dying sea-elf and that he was the only one to survive after the rest of the group had been turned to stone.

Sure enough, a basilisk was had made it's lair at the entrance of the ruins. With deft archery, barbaric savagery, and combat prowess, the party battles and defeats the monster. The party expresses their unhappiness with Urol and his lack of candor.
