Before they leave, Alzar wants to finish exploring this and the other nearby island tomorrow.

The next day: Beach. They finished this one.

The Island above it has: hills ,hills, and….hills. The while island has a lot of wild sheep, and they come across corpse of sheep with large talons in them, but nothing is seen to hunt on them. It could fly in from another island of course.

They return to the ship, and on the way back, in the straight between the volcano island and the southwest peninsula of the main isle, a giant water termite attacks the ship. Sailors are scrambling and repair the hull with planks. Alzar sees the termite swimming off lazily with a big belly of wood. He sends Dryshik to Mist Ball it, and nothing. It appears immune. With the Bracelet of Swimming, he can easily catch up, and leaps into the sea.

He chases after the water termite, and it dives to escape him, so he dives too. He can still go faster than it underwater with the Bracelet. It flees into its lair – an underwater cave. He emerges and moves to a small beach. Alzar follows. Cornered here, it turns to attack. Alzar summons the Maidens again and moves in to attack.

It attacks and misses. Alzar does not and it takes 5 and 1 from a Maiden. It misses. It takes 6. Alzar nails it for 4. It misses. One of the maidens hits for 4. It this Alzar for 5.

46/51

It goes first for 4 on Alzar. 42/51. He Vamp Touches it for 6. The maidens spear it for 6 and it dies.

48/51

150 XP for just Alzar. He casts Detect Magic to aid a search of a small area with a lot of miscellaneous bits of things here and there. He finds a potion.

Potion of Heroism

He swims back out and rejoins the vessel and they continue on to Tangaroa.

They arrive after dusk, and unload the captives. Only a few are from the 7 tribes. Most are from other isles.
