Yeah I got that but Myst and Enyo seemed a little confused, plus as Enyo is not American she might not have been aware of the hurricane that struck the USA.

(anyhow, back to the game!)
The guard approaches and Sarajahn begins his spell. The guards eyes go wide for a moment, but then the spell takes affect. The guard starts to speak, but Sarajahn quickly motions him to be quiet and he complies.
I did a bit of research on the Savage Tide adventure. I know enough that I could write an epilogue for everyone's charries, if no one objects?
The group sneakily manage to take the Scarlet Brotherhood leader and force the surrender of the camp. Documents are found that highly incriminate the Meravanchi family in Brotherhood dealings. The rest of the Olman tribe arrive to take custody of the Brotherhood members. After polite nagging from Lucillia, the party convince the Olmen to take them as prisoners rather than execute them. James manages to find a way to send the documents to Lavinia.
7. City of Broken Idols
The group meets up with Jakara(the guy rescued from the trogs) on the Taboo island. They're there to search for a missing missionary of Pelor called Noltus. It's not long before they encounter an intially suspicious, but ultimately friendly lizardman tribe. After speaking to the tribe for a while, Noltus arrives on the spot with member of the tribe whom had went with him to the village Mantru. However not all is as it seems and "Noltus" reveals himself and the others he brought to be demons. After a fight which decimates the real Lizardmen, the party are victorious.
Later, the party arrive at Mantru and find it deserted, apart from some intially hiding coatl, whom ask for aid in putting a spirit of one their brothers to rest. After solving a riddle, the party succedes and are rewarded information, which directs them to the west side of the island.
They found the back entrance of the temple the temple Noltus had been looking for, thanks to the information recieved. Unfortunately they also find the grisly, gnawed remains, of Noltus. Bravely the party investigate the temple. They see many statues dedicated to that foulest of demon lords Demogorgon. They also encounter the Followers of Demogorgon. After many hard battles, they reach the leader of the temple, Khala, an aspect of Demogorgon. This is the most difficult fight yet for the party, and they need evey bit of their resources, but it is done. Khalu is slain. However a smokey form of Demogorgon rises out the corpse, screams at the the group before dissipating. From information gleamed from the temple, it is discovered that some of the Shadow Black Pearls have be sent to the pirate port of Scuttlecove....
Avner has been having strange dreams ever since his trek through the Olman lands. Ever since he touched a statue the party had to return to a temple. These dreams disturb him immensely, yet he has told no one. Each time he resolves to go to the clerics but it turns out to be an empty promise. This night his sleep is dreamless. Rise Avner! Avner wakes instantly. Looking around he is relieved to see he is alone. Until he sees something impossible. The bat statue is at the foot of his bed. Take me, I will guide you. Avner is powerless to resist this compulsion and soon finds himself at a spot far from Farshore. At a place protected by holy wards. Blood of the corrupted o'er the wards. Aver tries desperately to stop himself from cutting his wrist over the sacred wards, as even he recognises disaster will follow. Alas his will is not strong enough, and as his blood drops onto the wards, the eyes of the bat statue glow red. It is summoning something. The foolish weak nobleman can only watch as it arrives. When does, he finds his will restored to him and Avner screams in terror. His screams are soon silenced.
The hour is late and Lavinia is still busy. She has finally gotten the papers sent by the party. She has been thinking a lot about Sarajahn. He's charming and witty. The way she feels about him isn't like anything she's felt before. However there would likely be some fallout if they continued to have a relationship. James was also likely to go off the deep end. Plus she wasn't sure how he truly felt about her. Sighing she turned her attention back to the papers. Lavinia quickly discover enough ammo in them to destroy her political rivals. Her joy was short-lived. Sensing somebody watching she turned to face the doorway, freezing in terror at what she saw. In the doorway stood a Death Knight and his name was Vanthus.
The party arrive back at Farshore to find the town in uproar. Lord Meravanchi is attempting a coup d'etat. This is very swiftly and effectively put down by the party, as Meravanchi's men are no match for the heroes. Meravanchi is taken, and later executed for treason. The party learn that that Vanthus has risen from the grave and has kidnapped Lavinia. Sarajahn reacts strangely to the news, but manages to hide it from the party. The party also learn the Jade Ravens have left in pursuit of Vanthus, last seen heading for Scuttlecove, home of the Crimson Fleet.
On the way there they recieve word that Harliss wishes to meet them there as well. After infiltrating the city, they find the dead remains of Kaskus Kiel. Looks like the rescue attempt hasn't gone well. They go to the RV with Harliss. She's there waiting for them. So are several Kuan-ti assassins. It isn't Harliss and it turns out to be a Succubus. Gandt and James easily deals with the succubus, whilst Sarajahn polymorphs into a Roper, his strands drains the strength of the snake people whilst Lia incinerates them.
Under the bridge they found Tolin Kientai and Zan Oldavin, barely alive. They get healed by Lucillia and are sent to the ship, after revealing Liamae was taken to the the brothel called "The Birdcage".Using a combination of stealth, force and judacious use of Dimension Door, the party get Liamae, and as an added bonus the real Harliss, out with very little fuss.
Harliss reveals she has learned the location pf the Crimson Fleet base. The group decide to go there, as it's the most likely place Lavinia will be, and also a chance to decimate the fleet.
It's a hard fight through the base. Not all the members are humans and there are lot of demon members as well. The heroes are almost caked in blood when they reach the leaders. A Half-fiend Cold Captain Wynter, and a Yuan-Ti Anathema known as The Seventh. This is a fight as hard as the Aspect of Demogorgon. Sarajahn changes into a War Troll for the extra physical power, and his swings deal mighty damage, Lucilla buffs and heals everyone, Gandt is the stoic defender of the group, and also takes chunks out the foes, Lia unleashes magical hell on the enemy, and James also uses magic.
They win. With the leaders dead, most of their followers dead, and their ships about to be sunk, the Crimson Fleet will never again pose a threat. However the Heroes' victory is not complete. Lavinia is not here. Worse still from the logs Demogorgon already sent shadow pearls to every major city in the world and plans to activate them soon. However there is a glimmer of hope for Lavinia as the party find out she has been taken to the Gaping Maw, Demogorgon's layer in the Abyss.
It's too bad the campaign took so long to get out of Farshore. The whole pirate thing sounds cool, but sticking us in a town with such a low spending limit at a time when we had the money to actually buy something was frustrating.
