As we approach the Box a strange feeling overcomes me, us, the perspective of the world changes, nearby seems far, my balance is off like standing up to quickly. Still we push trough and approach. Looking at the thing we see.. nothing? No nothing would not would be a good way to describe it, we see, not it, we see absence? Not emptiness, absence.
I hear the buzzing of wings as Jolie het invisible devil flies around, and moments later Jolie mentions that it does seem safe..
trusting in the devil.. Ricardo moves in and grabs the box, first he misses, then he closes his eyes and does manage to grab onto it and takes it out of the hole. I play some magic, enhancing my mind and reach to try to solve it.
Black

Empty

And then, a small room, with 2 hallways. I walk towards the right one, but end up falling. Splash! As I hit water. Around me I can vaguely see shapes. I try to search for buttons, interactions anything and get stuck in some kind of seaweed, plant material, constricting me. Panic starts to come over me, nothing seems to work here.
I try to escape but instead my fingers find some buttons. Finally some progress. I try to push the button but instead the button expands into a rod that I can turn, and then. *click*

Again I am in a room surrounded by darkness instead of walls. This time with a single chair inside of it. I think I’m trying to figure out how this place works. I approach the chair and.. try to open it’s drawer (Which to make clear it does not have). The chair folds up to itself and becomes a stairway leading down. Ahh.. I’m getting how this work. I inspect the room in close detail, but end up on the end of the stair. With a button right in front of me. I try to remember the properties of gnallroot, and the buttons becomes pushed. Ahh yes I can do this.

An new room, with a pedestal with a rose in the middle. I try to pet a bunny. Scythe approach as to cut me in two. I try to read it’s expression. The scythe breaks off and becomes a table with a button in front of me. I begin talking to it, telling it lies: “the sky is purple, I’m a porcupine”. The button extends into a rod with a cypher written on it. I.. play a song, and the right places of the cypher gets touched, I hear a click and..

Again I’m standing the abandoned temple, surrounded by my compagnions. Ricardo has a gash across his arm, Redemption has her weapon drawn, both look stupefied for a moment and their eyes clear. They begin explaining that the box had some kind of charming effect on them. It’s nearly impossible to keep an eye on the box , but suddenly Ricardo shakes his head, his eyes becoming big as he quickly grabs the box. It has shrunken down to a tiny cube already. “quickly grab a bottle or something!” He puts it inside and everything that is left of the box is a tiny mobieus ring, a never ending loop, an enigma.
the magic sucking effect seems to have disappeared, the problem solved. For now.

Before going back the bachinaal we decide to head of to the red tide. Redemption has learned that they are planning an action this evening. An action involving red algea. An algea that well digest anything it comes into contact to. They want to “disturb the trade” and in doing so they well destroy half the city, taking mainly innocent lives.
Me and Jolie head of trying to find their headquarters while Ricardo and Redemption head of to spot where Redemption said she would help them. Discreetly asking around, looking for red scarves we find an inn, as I enter it I see a red scarf head off the back. I approach it walking as I belong, but am still stopped by the innkeeper. I try to talk over him, but he still skeptical, but Jolie seems to have two very efficient distractors on her, and I can proceed to the back.
Bingo, headquarters. 12 creatures, (mainly men), including the drow I conscripted and the leader of the band I got into contact with. I decide that approaches them meekly will make them ignore me, so I proceed in charge.
“fools red algea you will kill half the city, who will be there to free, how are you going to control this natural phenomenon?”
They struggle against me a bit, but at least I’m not dismissed as a litte girl. They apparently have laid their hands on a piece of the Brackish Throne, which apparently lets them control the various streams of water in this plane to some extent. A fascinating thing most certainly, but they are not willing to tell me any more about it. I discuss with them, and we are able to come to a compromise. They attack will continue, but they will make it more focused, going for the Marid in particular with some side attacks on some warehouses. Ricardo and Redemption are in one such side attack, later I learn that they had to take down some guards but were able to loot some boxes with strange symbols on them.

Me and Jolie head of to the a slave auction, this is were the red algea will strike most strongly, multiple Marid and many more slavemaster will be hit here. We are there to make sure the least amount of slaves get hit. We make sure we arrive just as the red algea comes down. It is a big building with a slave pen outside. As we approaches, we warn the guards for the approaching algea, but they ignore us, saying they will only take orders from marid. Two marid do quikly approach, but they use their..freakin, innate abilities to divert the water and with that the algea. All this for nothing!!
I can’t let this all go to waste, so we attack, trying to distract the marid from its spell. Jolie turns into a killerwhale and destroys the slave cage releasing the slaves. I let go spells after spell, hypnotizing the slave masters, but in the end I get surrounded and have no choice but to flee.
We were able to distract the marid long enough for the building to get destroyed by the algea, and some slave masters to get dissolved, but as I turn into a fish and swim away, and can’t help to feel disappointed in what we were able to achieve.
