Buglago
We left the dragon lair still in one peace but with our money still with us, we buried the remains of the captain and walked back to the village, hoping to find a ship that will take us to the moonshei islands. The village that we left just a day ago was now in complete disarray, bodies were everywhere, with holes in their heads and brain matter was spilled out, a very gory display even for us who live on death and fighting. Flies were surrounding some of the corpses that simply lay there in the burning sun. we looked around for survivors in this mayhem and found one, the drunken and smelly chief who filled in the blanks on recent events. It was the mindflayer ; the creature we sent back as a prisoner to the village; the villagers wanted to eat it and put it on the fire, but the mindflayer is treaky, managed to get away and ran amok and kill every one. The chief was shattered and wailing between sips of nasty home brew. Again we helped buried the mindless dead, then headed towards the shore and the boats. The village had only 2 boats but one was missing, so we hopped on the one that was left, it was a big raft, so there was room for us all including the war forge who was now the captain, and the wailing chief who was still crying. We picked up the oars and headed west. We hoped that this time we would not encounter another Kraken. The kraken can devour us all in such a small raft. We took our time in the raft as we needed to rest up, but we still had good easterly wind and we made good time with only two of us rowing. After several hours we noticed another boat in the horizon and we all joined the oars to catch up. As we slowly approached we noticed a red cape over a single human sized creature, a few minutes later we were sure. It was the mindflayer, his ugly tentacle face was showing fear as we closed the gap. We kept coming closer, reading for battle, we debated burning him out of the water or killing him and take the boat.
Zillah
We were almost on top of it, we could see the fear in his slimy eyes when all of a sudden a flying ship appeared out of nowhere, its astral form half visible. The little floating raft seemed not to notice us, which was very odd and headed straight to the mind flier. This was a Githyanki ship, the Githyanki used to be slaves for the mindflyers, now they are slavers and traders but they vowed to avenge their ancestors by killing all mind flyers. We didn’t particularly care about the life and death of the mindflyers, but no one will take our pray away from us and we charged the Githyanki who were noticing us now, but slightly too late and we slayed them all but one. Parley he shouted, parley, who cares about that, I want blood. But my friends agreed to talks and the wimpy Githyanki told us about his rivalry with the mind flayer. The mind flier was in my head still from the previous fight and he told us that he knows the way to the standing stones, which was the location of the plane shifter and the goal of our current mission. We knew it was lying through his ugly mouth, but we weren’t sure, so we struck a deal with both of them. The mind flier, we called it bob would lead us to the standing stones and if he lied we would turn him in to the last Githyanki who would be following us from a distance. This is a deal neither bob or the Githyanki much liked , but I don’t really care. With possession of 2 boats now, we reach the town of laraka at the moonshei islands.
