The adventurers had tracked the kids to a submarine owned by Jarlaxle. Strix and Diath freed the kids from their bonds. They came upon a central area where gnomes and drow were lurking. Strix declared that she and her allies were pirates.
Nice Pirates
The gnomes look genuinely scared. Paultin is in the hallway near where Strix is. An automaton wielding a rapier approaches him in a threatening manner. He convinces the nimblewright to leave him be.
Evelyn comes in to the bridge area and tells the gnomes and drow that she is commandeering this vessel. The submarine decouples from the ship above it. Water starts to pour in. The heroes realize that the nimblewright left the hatch open.
Paultin is in a hallway that is filling with water. He wants to cast animate object to shut the hatch. The hatch is unable to close because of the force of the water. Paultin joins the group at the bridge and spots a dragon in the water outside the vessel.
Evelyn tries to recruit the nimblewright to help her get the hatch closed. It stabs her for 15 points of damage. She runs over an tries to shut the hatch. Anna rolls a 23 on her Strength check, but it's not enough.
A drow wizard tries to cast a spell, but Strix tries to counterspell it. The counterspell fails and the drow fills the bridge with a cloudkill spell. Diath and Paultin fail their saving throw and are choking on the poison gas. The gnomes die and float in the water. As a gnome dies, it pulls a lever and the vessel start to go down.
Strix ends up pushing buttons on a console. An alarm goes off throughout the vessel. A drow rushes Diath and stabs him for 5 points of damage. Another drow stabs Strix for 6 points.
Elsewhere, Squiddly spots a diving suit. It is airtight. He whispers to the other kids, "OK. We're going to pile into that suit." Jenks is in the torso area, Simon and Nat are in the legs. Squiddly gets on Jenks.
Evelyn tries again to shut the hatch, but the water coming through is too strong.
Diath tells a drow that everyone is going to drown. It says, "Not me."
A drow casts lightning bolt on Diath and Strix. Strix counterspells it.
A gnome voice speaks through an intercom, "I can't help but notice that we're going down!" The gnome tells Strix how to make the vessel ascend.
Strix casts passwall underneath the feet of the drow wizard, hoping to dump it into a hole and then turn off the spell. The drow leaps out to the way as it forms. Water erupts through the hole and begins to fill the area.
The vehicle hits something.
End of Session.
