After some buffing, the party (Idky, Maedhros, Kinsa, Artec, Hamish, Katya, Remort, Borlon, and Gilean), now joined by Moonleaf, pass back through the portal. The mist is black and silver. They pass through with no negative effect . . . from the gate. The other side is cloaked in utter darkness, but Borlon’s light stones cancel them out. Borlon notices that they are about the be attacked. And as soon as Hamish makes it through, he and Borlon are attacked by three Mako sharks and 30 skeletons. There are also 17 very startled sahuagin milling about.
Borlon starts vaporizing skeletons immediately as they get swarmed by their opponents. During the melee, two big sahuagin, two (female) yellow sahuagin approach (with another skeleton). They are joined by 61 more regular sahuagin. Four more Mako sharks also show up, but two hold back.
Unfortunately, Kinsa is caught by Moonleaf’s fear aura as she steps through the portal, and she stumbles and falls to the ground. She was able to put one sahuagin to sleep before that happened, though. Gilean, badly damaged, moves away from his attackers also puts one to sleep. Borlon pulls out a rod, which casts sunray. It incinerates the remaining skeletons and permanently blinds 12 sahuagin. Unfortunately, it also badly damages Moonleaf.
A dispel magic goes off, removing the water breathing from Gilean, Borlon, and Maedhros. It also removes everyone’s sanctuary spells (except Remort’s, because he time shifted away), the protection from evil 10’, and Katya’s conjured monster. Gilean goes down and starts to drown. Katya grabs him and dimension doors to the beach. Maedhros swims for the surface, and Borlon grabs Kinsa (who’s still freaking out) and teleports to the beach.
Some of the sahuagin attempt to attack Moonleaf, but they are driven off by her fear aura. Remort enters real time again and dominates one of the yellow sahuagin. He tells her to go after the sharks, but she swims out of his range, and he loses her. Katya summons two barracudas to help out. Moonleaf interposes herself in Artec and Hamish’s melee, scaring most of the sahuagin away.
Safe on shore, Borlon casts a mirage, making it look like 20 elves are on an island preparing to cast spells, which distract the sahuagin. Unfortunately, it doesn’t help with the sharks. Moonleaf drives off more of the sahuagin on Artec and Hamish. She moves to scare off more sahuagin. Hamish is now free to go help out Maedhros. Katya summons four more barracudas.
The yellow priestess sends two sahuagin after Remort, and Remort dominates one of them and makes him attack his friend. Hamish attacks the yellow priestess. Borlon teleports out to join Maedhros and Hamish’s battle to get sharks off of them. Unfortunately, a shark brings Maedhros down and starts sinking. Artec, badly damaged, uses his ring of the zephyr to shoot to the surface and run toward shore. Moonleaf continues to make sahuagin flee.
Borlon teleports back to shore with Maedhros. Remort stops dominating his sahuagin and time steps. The more powerful sahuagin priestess casts a spell to get the sharks to now orient on Moonleaf. Katya summons a sahuagin to carry her and Gilean to shore. Three of the sharks are not affected by Moonleaf’s aura and attack. Badly damaged, she runs to the gate and tries to sucker the sharks to swim through the gate. One gets feared and flees. Hamish arrives and kills the shark. As soon as that happens, the leaders bolt. Hamish finishes off the slept sahuagin and then tows Moonleaf to shore.
Borlon casts another water breathing and the heroes then re-enter the lagoon and swim through the gate back to Torsh.
