That battle takes places on the 9th day of the 8th month of 789

Things to do:
Decide on the flag
List the magic items

The cleric's name is Manlow, and when the tentacle disappear, he stands up and says: "Thank Lakius that is over."
-
The cleric's name is Manlow...
First name Barry?

Manlow please tell us what happened.
-
Manlow please tell us what happened.
Despite the events, the middle aged white haired, on the thinner side human looks no different than when you entered. He is wearing the standard grey, white and blue robes of Lakius and shows no signs of being cold despite his lack of footwear and being wet.
"I don't remember much clearly. It has been like a dream for a couple years. Foggy and never leaving the temple. Seemed nice. I was praying a lot. Occasionally I had bad dreams. Maybe the acolytes can tell more."
-
A group of four constables arrive after a minute more. Three dwarves and a human. They yell, "Is everyone okay! Cleric Manlow, is everything under control?"
He responds with a not yell, "It's okay now, but come in a look around."
They pause and the dwarven caster casts before they enter.
-
Having seen the large elemental leave the ship, Amare sent a couple crew (all Vass) to investigate. They remain outside when they see the constables.
Midiyro and Sven are with them as well.
-
Zelek, and I imagine Veronica and Kasai, are in need of healing. Maybe Nathan as well.
-
Yeah Nathan took a beating. Although I can heal the people that need it if the constables will allow me to.
-
When there is an opportunity I look for the acolytes.

They are not in the temple.

Valdis goes over and looks into the pool
-
Valdis goes over and looks into the pool
The pool now looks the same as it did when the cleric of sitting in it. You see no signs of the tentacle, or your own blood.
There are slimy remains of one tentacle that you cut off in the temple still there, but not in the pool.
-
As usual, message me any levels gained.
-
Do the constables start taking a report? If so I tell them everything that happened.
-

They take a report from Manlow first, and when he tells them, they begin to take your names and stories. It is done in an orderly fashion. Within ten minutes, there are ten constables here and one looks like a significant caster.
Thoffin arrives after them and begins to barrel around. To your disappointment, he is in charge once he arrives.
"Keep your selves quiet and don't speak up unless spoken to! I warned ye all."
-
While Valdis waits, he sits down and absent-mindedly stabs the tentacle piece with his scimitar.

The necklace can cast 8 times per day.
All of the arcane scrolls at 8th level.
The potion of healing is 2d8+4.
The hard scales add 3 to natural AC for an hour. Note that it requires you cover 50% or more of your body, so those in armor or heavily clothed are hard pressed to use it.
-
I recommend we let our purser sell everything.
-
Once Thoffin starts asking questions. I tell him everything that happened and then when appropriate I ask if I can meet with some of the of clerics of Habastasly, Treetop and Smofarf.

The process takes two hours, during which constable clerics and wizards arrive to cast a variety of spells. The crew that arrived later (Vass and such) are sent back to the ship. You are all told to sit calmly and asked questions separately.
-
Does anyone know what the creatures was? (including myself)

Also, does it appear the remaining tentacles are still there or did they disappear as if they were summoned?

The tentacles radiate evil, so you assume lower planar. Other than that no one has any guesses.

Zelek answers any questions directed at him, taking Nathan's lead.
How do the rest of you answer? (cooperative, combative, etc...)

Valdis is cooperative. He answers all questions to the best of his ability.

Chase and Kasai are cooperative.

Veronica?

Veronica?
I answer..

Claude and Sas, Taji?
-
Amare says, "The scrolls and oils may be useful for the ship's stock."
If no one has any objections, the ship will keep those items Amare suggests keeping.
-
Braden the Purser gets 40,000gc for the non potion / scroll magic items (net, spear, necklace, wand).
-
Claude and Sas, Taji?
Ssaskra is cooperative and succinct in his responses. He uses his natural ability to connect with people (+43 diplomacy) to develop a collaborative working relationship built on mutual respect with constables so that we might find out later what they learn from their investigation.
-
Claude and Sas, Taji?
Taiji is also cooperative, though he embellishes his role in the defeat of the tentacles and Veronica’s rescue

Thoffin is impressed by Sas's attitude and soon takes to talking to him directly and ignoring everyone else. The other constables go about their work quickly and efficiently, as if to be finished as soon as possible.
To Sas: "Sounds to me like ya may 'av caused this by shown' up 'ere; but since ye took care 'o the problem with no damage er deaths, I think no charges sounds right."
-
One question everyone gets asked is how long you plan on staying in the city. I assume by your responses, everyone says three days or so as planned.

Yeah, no cause for deception here, just tell them three days or so.
-
We have a meeting with the Clerics of Smofarf tomorrow and assuming that meeting does not give us any reason to stay longer then we will be leaving shortly after it. Nathan's assumes that we won't get much information from the constables unless Sas's amazing diplomacy allows us to learn something.
I plan to address this whole situation with the cleric of smofarf along with Claude's situation.
When we get a chance I also take the time to questions the cleric of Lakius and his acolytes. Can the cleric send for his acolytes for us to meet with all of them. I try to find from the cleric of Lakius and his acolytes. As much information as they have on the tentacles.
When did the cleric come under the abyssal creatures influence? When did they notice any significant changes in the clerics behavior? Do we find any symbols or clues that Dagon was involved.
Anyone else have any information that we think we can get then feel free to ask it.

Manlow will send for the acolytes. "There are two, both human, Ted and Sandra." Nathan knows that Lakian standard is not to have many clerics at one temple.

“Yessss...it would appear that way, Consssstable Thhhhhoffin. Do you thhhink it jussst arrived at the Temple, or hasssss it been lying in wait behind an enchanted cleric? Wassss Manlow posssessssed by thissss creature?â€
-
Taiji: “Are we certain Manlow was being controlled by this creature? Maybe he was somehow repressing it, and him leaving the Temple caused the abjuration to fail suddenly and release the tentacles?â€
-
Also Taiji: “So what exactly is this pool? Is it just a big tub of normal water, or is it something special?â€
Directed at Nathan, I guess.
-
Does Nathan have an answer to Taiji's questions?
I was also thinking that he might not have been necessarily possessed but he could have been holding it off in someone way and maybe after doing that for such a long time that he lost his memory. These questions will all be directed to the cleric and his acolytes. Either way Nathan realizes that he most do something about this because this could be happening in many of the temples where there is a hermit in charge and people would be less likely to notice a cleric behaving strangely.

Typically a holy water pool, sometimes portal to plane of water in greater temples. Nathan's answer.
Manlow chimes in, "It was not a permanent gate, but we have oft used it to summon."
-

Manlow responds, "I suppose that could be. Don't remember much, but I am very tired."
-
Just a reminder, Real Rin or Re-Ri... is off at the Temple of Treetop. I do teleport over as far as I can see from the crows nest, and walk down.
Just wondering if anything strange happens.. though no one pees in treetops pool.

I will send an email about your individual encounter at the temple of Treetop.
-
Nathan tries to find some time to speak to Sas so that Sas can convey to the constables that maybe there were no signs of strange behavior because he was more of a hermit and people would have been less likely to notice changes.
-
Claude is cooperative as well.

Ssaskra will relay whatever Nathan wants to Thoffin.

Thoffin responds, "Heh?"
“Let me rephrase - maybe Manlow was acting like the plug in the drain. Once he moved, there was nothing holding the dark water back.â€

"That's possible. Casters could tell us that, right?"

Nathan thinks that it is possible but I am not sure how to confirm that. Hopefully when we meet with the clerics of Smofarf they can help us with this as well as the problem of Claude's doppelgangers.
-

He does ask the caster constables their opinions. "I'll have to give ye a report tomorrow. I will send for ye when its ready."

I was hoping we wouldn’t have to conduct our own investigation.

What are we keeping out of this stuff?
What’s the value of stuff we’re selling?
-
Braden the Purser gets 40,000gc for the non potion / scroll magic items (net, spear, necklace, wand).
-
Not sure how I missed that, thanks.
Owners, how are we distributing this?
-
Amare says, "The scrolls and oils may be useful for the ship's stock."
I think we should sell the scrolls, oils and potions. If we keep them, I doubt we’ll ever remember we have them.

Lets just sell it all.

"That was unexpectedly aggressive. No offense intended, Captain.
To make sure I understand roles correctly, I believe it is the owner's responsibility to make decisions about income and expenses. Asset management and the beneficial deployment of resources is the responsibility of the Captain, yes?"
Some good old fashioned diplomancy will help smooth out the Captain's attitude/turn him into a fanatical supporter of all of Ssaskra's ideas.
Side note: Since Ssaskra acquired his continuous Tongues item, you notice he no longer draws out every "s" when he speaks.

So is everyone okay with half of this going to the expense fund, and the remainder being distributed between owners and commission-based employees?
