From ground control:
Gliss is holding position. No issues with liftoff on our end. Report? Over.
Captain's stone:
URGENT: There is a Changeling aboard masquerading as First Officer Ollim. You are ordered to restrain them. Copy? Over.
From ground control:
- The Gliss is still holding position (although at some point it might zip off)
- The Revelation is nowhere to be seen
- They're looking into spells that can locate the crew
- Locate Object and Locate Creature have had no effect
- Looking for a magician who knows Scrying (which will not work because they're on a different plane)
To ground control:
There are underwater dwelling people here call Marids. Marids say there is a "limit" which as approached pushes down and prevents going up. Will confirm independently. Have contacted two Marids so far; they seem friendly but say not all will be so; concealing our presence for now. Marids claim there is only one city, made out of coral and floating in the water. Marids say monsters come from "the depths" below; magical items as well.
From Archivists Guild:
- They're looking for any kind of record, even mythical, about either the Gliss or a world made of water
To Archivists Guild:
Gravity increases with height. Subaqueously dense objects stop, feeling continuous “punches” downward, 30' higher than aqueously dense objects. Water pressure unchanging near creatures, normal elsewhere.
From Archivists Guild:
Can't find any mythical record of a water world. Re: physics at the limit, we're finding magicians and scientists of historically water-based kingdoms for consultation.
Carcy to Archivists Guild:
Lux: age? history? personality?
From ground control:
Gliss has moved far away. Hired an advanced magician capable of scrying. When one of you senses a presence, do not resist observation. Report? Over.
(after hearing the Shabah during scrying, and hearing about the attack at the Darkened Depths)
Noted. Is the ship's structural integrity holding? We can hear a knocking sound from the hull. Over.
(after they respond, likely verbally)
We'll work on all this. If possible, document the imposter's spells and capabilities and display or describe to us for future problem solving. Over.
From Archivists Guild:
Found old record of strange turbulence near bottom of ocean, not as regular as limit punches you describe. Could not find more info on Lux.
From ground control:
Will begin scrying in five minutes. Prepare what you have to report, and we'll respond on Sending Stones. Over.
Will discuss Shabah info. Use whatever means possible to come home, but also be cautious. Over.
Cannot send another cow :(. Will attempt to scry the Padishah tomorrow. Over.
From ground control:
Scrying: Scrying: small dark blue room, opening in back to bright area, cannot see past doorway. Padishah swimming in place, alone, motioning over pink sphere. Over.
