Journal

Day 1

We left The Maelstrom via a pool, wearing armoured diving suits to protect us from the pressure. Each Giant took one Party member in hand to stop the underwater vortex from carrying them away.

The Giants used the Vortex to ascend to a waiting group of 4 Orcas.

After several hours of vertical swimming the Orcas breached the surface and struck West.

After several more hours of travel we arrived at a beach. The Giants, and thus the Party jumped off the Orcas backs some distance from the beach, approaching it on foot while the water was still above [Giant] head height.

Once on land 4 Rocs approached us, scaring Searos, but they turned out to be our mounts.

We took flight on the Rocs backs using large harnesses, 1 Giant and Party member to each bird.

Towards dusk we approached the Sword Coast, and spent the night in the Sword Mountains, somewhere North of Waterdeep.

Day 2

We continued to head East. Soon after spotting the Long Road (Mirabar -> Waterdeep) below us we turned North, to avoid High Forest.

Day 3

We continued to head North East, avoiding High Forest, passing South of The Evermoors, following the route of Evermoor Way.

Day 4

We started the day by flying down over the Anauroch desert looking for Iymrith’s Lair. Searos noticed a storm in the distance which we headed toward.

Closer to the storm Searos noticed a very old, crumbling Necropolis so we pressed on.

Flying into the storm we continued until it was too much for the Rocs. The Giants stabled the Rocs with their own packs and we continued on foot until the Amphitheatre Sarissa saw while Scrying came into view through the storm and they started lobbing boulders at us.
