## Mission Notes

Takeshi finds himself within the water plane, having headed through a portal at the end of the adventure ‘How to Unpolymorph Your Platypus’. Looking around, he sees a shadowy mass within the distance, which he swims towards. As he gets closer, he sees a shadow of a figure swimming closer to him. Appearing to be a water genasi, they offer a spell to Takeshi, casting water breathing on him. Confused as to finding him, he offers to take him back towards the large structure of coral, with glass-like domes appearing around it.

Back on the material plane, Nuin, Grrdr and Foxglove are summoned to the guildhouse, with them wondering how Takeshi vanished on the previous mission. With a clerk running them through the guilds standard rescue protocols, Nuin hears a message in her head, saying Takeshi is on the water plane, and to meet him by the water portal at Emerson Lake. After reading a bit more about the water plane, the group heads to Emerson Lake.

Head to Emerson Lake, where they rent 2 suits for 4 gold from Phil’s Angling Mart. Grrdr heads down, hearing noises of what might be the blind aboleth, known to keep . Meets Tsu at the bottom of the lake by an area of water which seems to have a mini tidal push and pull around it – getting the others around and handing them the same coral bands he handed to Takeshi, he heads through the portal.

Tsu brings them to ‘The Airlock’, a safe space for those who have drifted into the water plane with no where to go. The group caught up with Takeshi, who had been there a few days, providing the settlement with bacon to their delight. The group then gets asked to check up on the progress of a new dome being created, whilst Tsu finds the portal for them to return.

Heading there, they find a triton and 2 humans working on the dome, where they assure the group everything is fine. However, the group hears some knocks on the glass, whereby Foxglove uses their lantern of revealing to catch sight of some bubbles moving against the current. At this point, Water Elementals attack and crack through glass, creating a combat scenario for the group. Whilst the elementals are defeated after they pull some members of the party into their vortexes of swirling water, they still need to patch the broken areas of the dome they are in. Grrdr utilises control water to help stem the flow of water, while Takeshi uses some of his painting supplies to patch a smaller crack that appeared mid combat, with the triton from the original group helps patch up another hole.

After this, Tsu brings the group back to the portal where he wishes them well and sends them through, whereby they return to the bottom of Emerson Lake. Heading out, Phil’s Angling Mart is closed with them returning at night time, with a note on the door saying ‘Late Fees will be paid in full’. Foxglove adds an ammendum to the note saying ‘Late Fees should be sent to Lord Beefington’. Grrdr unlocks the door and the party drop the fish suits in the shop, locking the door again. The party then heads back to Otha’s Rest, Takeshi successfully rescued.
