Saltwave Campaign Journal for 2164 (08-May-2004)

8 Deluge 2164 - Jock and Anika begin a Ski Vacation and Visit Ishan Patriarchy
Jock and Anika ski to Voyreem from Voorhess, beginning a vacation that takes them to the Ishan Patriarchy. While in Ishan, they discover a library with original books about psychoactive skins and unstable ectoplasm. They defeat the summoned guardians of the library and move the entire collection to Voorhess, with permission from the Ishan authorities. They return to Voyreem on 23 Deluge and then establish the library over the next month.

2 Greening 2164 - Anika and Jock meet Prrex Priest
Having found out that prrexi use psionics in preference to arcane magic, Anika seeks out a guide who would introduce her and Jock to prrexi in Mrrex or other prrex lands. She finds Netsuke Kadaji, a prrex spiritualist, in Voyreem. Kadaji agrees to help if Anika will help him defeat a powerful undead threat by way of proving her worthiness.

14 Greening 2164 - Anika and Jock recover Thantwee's Negalmion
In order to venture into the Dead Caverns where the dark elf lich, Lashtanzortan Ilyusk, makes his home, Anika, Jock, and Kadaji would need a way to resist the effects of the negative planar energy (to say nothing of the lich's own magics!). They discover that a grandmaster pion named Ernst Thantwee empowered a special armband that created a zone in which magic did not work, but psionics did. Thantwee was lost in the destruction of Katraal in 2143, but his item, called "The Negalmion," should still be intact. The adventurers journeyed to the sea, fought a sahuagin boss, and retrieved the item.

8 Growing 2164 - The Voorhess Party Destroys Dark Elf Lich
Anika, Jock, and Kadaji venture into the life-draining Dead Caverns and work their way into the lair of the dark elf archmage, the lich Lashtanzontan Ilyusk. There, they need to cooperate with all their abilities to destroy the lich, his simulacrums, and his minions. Anika first disintegrates the lich's simulacrum, then takes several tries before succeeding against the lich himself. The party returns with a king's ransom in treasure to Voyreem on the 13th of Growing.

30 Growing 2164 - Anika helps Shannotsuul grow a New Body
Anika used the mind store power to allow Shannotsuul the chance to grow a new human body. After Anika killed her body, Shannotsuul's mind and soul was drawn into the crystal and began creating a new body out of ectoplasm. Because Anika targeted the human personality very carefully, the illithid mind died with its body and the human wizard was able to reconstruct her own body. Anika also prepared mind store crystals for herself, Jock, and Kadaji.

27 Flowers 2164 - Anika and Jock help Shannon Retake the Crystal Citadel
While Shannon Kanteel (formerly the ulitharid Shannotsuul) got used to her new body, a rrakma band of powerful githzerai raided the Crystal Citadel. The gitzerai destroyed the mutants, thralls, and alhoon minions of Shannotsuul and waited for the return of the master of the fortress. Shannon used the head of her old body as proof of her "defeat" of the the ulitharid. With this evidence to bolster her diplomatic skills, she and Anika were able to convince the githzerai that there was nothing left to do. Shannon set the intruders after other strong illithid lairs.

28 Flowers 2164 - Jock and Anika travel to Mrrex with Kadaji
After securing passage to Mrrex, Kadaji, Anika, and Jock visit the Prreshtuwan colony.

30 Heat 2164 - Anika and Jock return to Voorhess Barony
The adventurers had learned a great deal about the prrexi, the Prreshtuwan Federation, and advanced technology in their visit to Mrrex colony's capital, Krrextan. While there, Anika's pregnancy really started to show. Anika and Jock arranged for a profitable trade contract with the Mrrextan Industrial Production Company to sell sustainable amounts of timber, ore, and crystal to the corporation. Jock arranged to import robotic workers and advanced products to the barony. Kadaji elects to spend some additional time in Krrextan before rejoining his friends in Voorhess Barony.

1 Harvest 2164 - Business is Booming in Voorhess
Jock and Wilhelm's attention to business in Voorhess Barony has brought hundreds of settlers and a continuing stream of money into the forest barony. Jock has retired from active adventuring, but continues to teach students of the Golden Alliance that visit. The adventurers' inn and hospitality services continue to do strong business. The crystals in the caverns beneath Voorhess Castle bring a good profit when sold to the Mrrex Industrial Production Company.

9 Frost 2164 - Anika and Jock have a Son
Anika gives birth to a baby boy. She and Jock name their son Khaavren Gehren Lundor. Jock plans to take care of the baby when Anika goes out adventuring. Kadaji returns to provide spiritual and medical assistance to the Voorhess family.
