Nodding, the Dimernesti leader gestures to Qwendeel, who reluctantly provides a number of small bladders that have been turned into little rubbery containers. "Just suck the potion out of the opening," he says. "It will allow you to breathe underwater and protect you from the temperature and pressure, as well."

"Thank you." He bows to Qwendeel. "We will do everything we can." Passing one to Locky and Imani he looks at Temeral. "You are joining us then?" He asks before sucking the potion from the bladder.

"Ready when you are." He announces, hand on his dagger.

"I can't wait!" Locky exclaims, sucking down the bladder in excitement she stands by the side of the boat.

Temeral nods to Jerrard "You may need more help, should anything go wrong. Also, I'm curious about the small one, she was quick to offer aid, different than the over glorified beggars I've witnessed in the past."

Imani takes the bladder and sucks down the potion like instructed.

Now that the rest of her group is ready to go overboard and try to free the Dimernesti children, Babushka turns to Imaran. "Right, and we now need to devise a plan to fight the dragon, should it choose to attack the ship.

What kind off missile weapons do we have? Also, I have heard that there are long fishernets that are set up in a cirlce to trap fish in it, if you have something like that, we could try to set it up around the ship in a distance that keeps the dragon out of his breath range. It will probably break through, but it would be in a spot for a while, slower and more vulnerable than it would otherwise be."

"Will Locky and i be able to cast spells underwater?" Jerrard asks, as he prepares to follow the elves.

Imaran frowns. "Our best bet is to pray the wind favors us and we can outrun it. As for missile weapons, we have archers and a pair of light ballista--one on the bow and one on the stern. Although I'm not sure how useful they'd be against a dragon. And we have no nets; we are not fishermen, but merchants."

Qwendeel answers Jerrard's question. "The potions will not allow you to speak clearly underwater. Therefore, any spell with a verbal component will not work."

"Then I should make Locky invisible now, before we leave." Jerrard answers, speaking the words of magic he points at Locky and casts Invisibility on the Kender.

Babushka answers Imaran: "I never thought you were fishermen, but there was a chance that you would carry fishing supplies from a manufacturer to clients. So our first priority should be to get rid of the seaweed that stops the ship so we can sail on."

Then she says to the group at large: "But wait, if we have to flee, how can I find my friends again? Would one of you Dimernesti agree to stay on board with a potion and guide me to your home afterwards?"

"I like that idea." Locky says, a little crestfallen she will be unable to speak, such a thing to a Kender is worse than death.

After Jerrard touches Locky to complete the spell (as it is a touch spell), she fades from view.

"The seaweed is my doing," says Seera. "I will remove it when we are through here."

"As for leaving someone behind," the leader adds, "we are too few in number to risk leaving anyone here. But we can send a dolphin to guide you. They listen to Seera."

==========

Jerrard casts Invisibility on Locky.

Jerrard then looks directly at the Kender, disbelieveing his own spell.

"Thank you. And we will do our best." turning to Temeral he continues. "Locky Is honest and selfless, i would trust her with my life."

Holding Imani's hand tight he gets ready to jump.

----------

"Are we ready?" the invisible Kender asks.

"Yes, that is a good idea" Babushka says to the Dimernesti with a smile. "Thank you"

Imani takes a deep breath as she gets ready to jump into the water with Jerrard and Locky. This was probably one of their more insane ideas.
