Blync heard a voice in his head: "My power was not enough. It will never be."
Rummaging around the ruins, we found a scroll of Teleport!
We took a guess as to which way the lost Elf went, and set off. We found a corpse of a shark, being eaten by scavenger fish. Something shiny in the carcass caught our eye -- a large jewelry box.
Oh no! The shark was actually undead and moved to attack us as we approached. We battled it and the scavenger fish.
For some reason, Senzei jumped on the shark's back and rode it.
We discovered that the ruidium weapons some of us had were particularly effective on the shark, and also allowed us to swim at our regular walking speed.
We found a strange tavern run by a blue elf, and bought some magical potions, but learned little, and none about the lost researcher we sought.
