Back on Oerth, the party (Yavin, Kinsa, Artec, Hamish, Katya, Remort, and Borlon) is joined by Gilean Nyrell and re-joined by Maedhros (from the original Charn party). Yavin sends them all back to Torsh via a plane shift and remains on Oerth to research his spell.
Back on Torsh, Borlon asks the party to perform a task for him. There is a gate nearby that leads to an underwater gate guarded by sahuagin. He wants them to clear and secure the other side. After receiving buff spells (aid, free action, and water breathing), they enter the portal while the mist is deep purple. They immediately feel a crushing feeling from the water as they step through. It’s a beautiful clear lagoon surrounded by coral teeming with fish and sharks. Borlon is the only one who doesn’t suffer the effect.
Wyvern watches and glyphs of warding go off, but only Remort gets paralyzed. Twelve sahuagin skeletons animate and attack the party. Borlon destroys them immediately. Maedhros and Kinsa panic and swim for the surface. Artec goes after Maedhros, and Hamish moves to defend Katya, as sharks start to move toward them. Borlon casts remove paralysis on Remort. Katya starts conjuring a water elemental.
A sea snake attacks down below and three megalodons attack the ones on the surface. Borlon stuns one of the megalodons with a psychic crush. Kinsa recovers and swims back down to join the fighters below. Maedhros finishes off one of the megalodons with a volley of magic missiles. Artec kills a second one and starts on the last.
Three mako sharks move in, and Gilean and Hamish run to meet them. Remort manages to confuse a megalodon with a mind thrust. Kinsa faerie fires the three mako sharks. Borlon kills a mako with psychic crush. Hamish kills his mako and the last one. Artec and Maedhros finish off the final megalodon.
Four nasty-looking spotted stingray move toward the group below. On the surface, three lemon sharks move toward Maedhros and Artec. A snake moves to attack Katya, though Gilean is defending her. After killing over half of the creatures, five more lemon sharks move in on the surface and attack Maedhros. Eight more stingrays show up to attack the group below.
Now 27 sahuagin skeletons come marching toward the party. Katya, now surrounded, abandons her spell and dimension doors to the edge of the portal. Borlon destroys 19 skeletons.
A tiger shark and four more lemon sharks show up and go for Maedhros. Katya summons three lizardmen and commands them to kill the sharks and rays. Finally free from combat, Borlon casts prayer. Unfortunately, Maedhros goes down under shark attack and sinks to the bottom with his chest ripped open.
Katya summons more creatures, but they’re local and don’t come right away (whatever they are). Borlon stuns the sharks on Maedhros with a psionic blast, saving him for now. Katya’s lizardmen engage the stingrays. Three more lemon sharks show up and attack Artec. Four new rays show up and attack the party below. Borlon destroys the remaining skeletons, and Kinsa casts sleeps on Maedhros’ sharks, catching one of them.
An orca shows up in response to Katya’s summons and attacks the sharks. Remort dominates a skate and sends it after another skate. Hamish is now free, so he goes to clear the sharks off Maedhros. Artec starts in on his tiger and lemon sharks. Kinsa casts neutralize poison on Gilean, who has been repeatedly poisoned by snakes and rays.
A great white shark now shows up and attacks the orca. While the shark and orca are fighting, Borlon goes over to save Maedhros with death’s door. As Hamish starts attacking the great white, four more arrive. Three attack the orca. One attacks Remort and nearly kills him. Hamish kills one of the great whites. The lizardmen attack Remort’s great white. Kinsa cures Remort.
Borlon brings Maedhros back up with a cure light wounds. Gilean goes down when the great white bites him. The orca gets killed. And two more lemon sharks show up to attack Artec. Borlon starts psychic crushing sharks. Kinsa casts cure wounds on Gilean, but it’s not enough to bring him back up.
Katya summons seven piranha, which attack one of Artec’s lemon sharks. Seven seals show up from Katya’s earlier summoning spell, and she sends them against the great whites. They finish off the badly-wounded one. Kinsa swims up to see how Artec is doing. Borlon sends a psychic crush at one of Artec’s sharks through a telepathic connection with Artec. It kills one.
Then a swarm of 24 thresher sharks shows up. And the water goes dark as the sharks swarm the party. Katya summons eight mermen and instruct them to kill all sharks and sahuaghin. Remort dominates a thresher and sends it after Katya’s shark to free her up.
Borlon gets cleared of sharks, so he’s able to cast sun dazzle through Artec’s eyes at all the sharks on the surface. Five more lemon sharks arrive and swarm the party. They get cleared out quickly but get replaced by the threshers that just killed the seals.
Kinsa ends up losing her right thumb to a thresher shark. The mermen move to help out Artec and Kinsa, as do the lizardmen. Borlon psychic crushes the final shark through Artec’s eyes.
Kinsa goes to recover her thumb as the group regroups. The gate has now turned bluish-silver. Unfortunately, that means the gate won’t reopen for 24 hours. So the party goes up on the beach to get out of the water and to relative safety.
