"Does not take genetically modeefied senses to peek up how you feel, comrade." Misha sat down next to Carrhae. "We hef saying on Acheron: We do not know what our chances of survival are, so we fight as eef they were zero. We do not know what we will face, so we fight as eef eet was Hell itself. Some of us may die, and Bane might never know we existed, but the enemy — the enemy weel know. The enemy weel remember. We weel hurt them so badly that they weel never forget us until the stars burn out. When our enemies are dying, their last thought weel be of us. That is our memorial — carved into the heart of enemies."

She looked at Carrhae and softly smiled. "We cannot lose, Comrade. We have already won."

Carrhae takes Misha's hand in hers. "I'll always remember you. And I'm sure that Kali would too, although it might be for something else." She smiles and quietly chuckles at that last statement. "Thank you Misha." She sits next to Misha for a little bit, silently bonding with her friend before exhaustion overtakes her and she falls asleep on Misha's shoulder. 

Misha remained still while Carrhae slept, looking up at the sky. The stars formed beautiful patterns that night.

Earlier

As the battle comes to a rapid conclusion, Erriviel's Darkness spell is deactivated and suddenly the rest of the team can see Sloop and Erriviel standing on the stairs leading down into the front foyer.  With almost comical timing, Wolf comes barreling through the front doorway, screeching to a stop in the foyer, claws extended ready for battle.  Too late.

Wolf: "Blimey, you guys couldn't have the decency to save any for me?  And Sloop, you look like Kali...all blue.  What gives?"

Sloop: "I don't feel so good...." and the proceeds to collapse on the stairs, falling down the remaining flight (causing 2 damage) and rolling into the foyer.

Sloop is laying there on the ground, covered in slimey blue spots, unconscious.

Even Earlier

Before everyone heads to sleep, Carrhae spends 10 points of Lay on Hands to cure Sloop and Chandor of their afflictions.

Now: 

As Carrhae enters the area, she casts Bless on Kali,Erriviel, and Chandor, giving them some extra bonuses against the evil that pervades these waters. She's also thankful that Misha has such a strong protection aura (+4 vs. Carrhae's +3, so add that to your saves instead.

Con: 14

Charisma: 15

Concentration: 27

Luck for the Constitution Save: 9

On the ship, Erriviel throws pieces of straw at all the non-water breathing crew (Felix included), casting water breathing on them.

Con: 14

Cha: 19

After having a well deserved rest, Kali rose from her slumber slightly... dreading heading into the depths. She loved the sea, it was her home for most of her life, but she feared what memories would resurface once they head down below. Kali watched tight lipped as the others prepared themselves for the trip from a distance, her hands balling up into fists as she tried to get her mind into something else.

Kali had allowed everyone to go before she did, saying she’ll watch the back and before diving in, she took in a deep breath.

Con save: 18 + Bless 2

Cha save: 1 + Bless 3

Im a tit and I forgot to add Misha’s bonus to my cha roll, should be a 16.

EARLIER

Sloop groggily wakes up to Captain Carrhae touching him all over. Zoiks!  He bolts upright, in more ways than one, coming to with a start. “RAWR!  Thanks, Cap’n!  Not sure what the heck happened there. I think that undead creature infected me with somethin’?”

NOW

Like a cat in heat, Sloop hangs close to Misha as the Belle enters the rift area. He’s quite nervous, but gaining confidence as he basks in her smiling aura. 

DC16 CON ST: 19

DC16 CHA ST: 21

Wolf pulls his hood up as they get close to the water, the magic from it allowing him to swim like a Mantra ray and breath under the water. Quarterstaff at the ready as descends with the others. 

Con ST: 12

Cha ST: 18

Sana Con: 9

Sana Cha: 17

Beaming, Sana dives in, then hops onto Felix, giving everyone a thumbsup. Appropriately, today she she has blue skin like Kali's, and dark green hair.

Misha DC16 CON save: 26
Misha DC16 CHA save: 20

Those that fail the CON save take 14 cold damage upon entering the area. Those that fail the CHA save become vulnerable to necrotic damage until you leave the area.

From this point, you can either explore the ship remains, or head right to the rift. Misha sinks like a rock towards the bottom, hammer and shield ready.

Sloop pulls the hood of his cloak over his head, waits a few seconds for the magic to take effect, and dives into the water right after Misha. Attempting to stick close to her, as Misha sinks like a rock, Sloop swims circles around her. Once hitting the sea floor, he likewise pulls out his blades and proceeds to follow her, wherever she goes to. 

Carrhae drops down after Misha and indicates for everyone else to follow suit.

THE RIFT

A pulsating light composed of unnatural colors permeates this underwater cavern. The stern of the ship has broken through the cavern’s fifteen-foot-high ceiling near the center of the area. The nauseating light reveals a hideous array of piled bones, many of which clearly once belonged to humanoids — far more bones than could be accounted for by the crew of a single sunken ship.

A shallow alcove opens up to the north, with a rotting sea chest set before it, leaning against the rough stone wall. Within the alcove, a funnel-shaped hollow in the cavern floor terminates at a narrow hole in the bedrock below. The pulsing light emanates from this hole. This cavern is all that remains of what was once a jagged chasm in the seafloor.

Tammeraut’s captain, Syrgaul Tammeraut, resides in this chamber — transformed into a twisted monster. An enormous twisted transformed underwater zombie with awful tentacles and a putrid presence. Misha nearly chokes at the sight of him, and she roars in excitement at the chance to smite such a horrible creature. It is clearly powering the rift. Everyone can fit and fight in the rift. 

Tammeraut: 21
Misha: 19

The final battle begins.
