The group is back in Sigil. They get a message from Lyra: "I've gone to run an errand. Levity make sure Miga and Gille are on their best behavior. Crayons and paper for Miga, and cakes for everyone else." Chloe couldn't play this week.

S3-4N is dispensing lots of shiftspice. It's supposed to come in a fancy container!

S3-4N stands at the window, hoping to catch a glimpse of a robot person who's been seen walking around now and then.

Someone knocks at the door. It's a dabus - one of the upkeepers of Sigil. Unlike the others, it does not float. It's walking on the ground.

White text appears above its head. It has a message for "the small one," Miga. She must return to her home plane for some sort of ceremony.

The dabus will show the group where the portal to Miga's home is. It pulls a fish hook out of its robes. The dabus's name is Fellham. It is a member of the Transcendent Order, just like Miga's parents. Fellham has been cast out from the ranks of the dabus.

The portal leads to land near a body of water. There's a boat. Miga informs the group that it's her birthday, and that she needs to sail the boat to pass her trial.

Miga is the captain of the boat. She has to make some choices, ranking the group on which roles they would be best to perform on the ship.

Strongest party member: Gille works on the mast, raising and lowering the sails. Smartest party member: Mercy. Most Charming Party Member: Durge. Coordinate plans for sailing. Wisest Party Member: Pentar. Dextrous party member: Levity. On the bow, climbing the rigging. S3-4N is the tailor. Tacking the sail.

Fellham hangs around the back of the boat.

S3-4N approaches Miga. He gives her a paper hat. He has one too.

Miga needs to plot a course. She must make a check. Rolls a total of 21!

The rest of the group has to make a check according to the stat they are assigned.

Pentar is in centipede form, and she gets seasick. She hasn't gotten her 8,000 sea legs yet.

Gille and Mercy get drunk. So does Pentar. They're all stumbling around.

Something bumps the boat and Mercy falls overboard. In the water, she can see a giant shark. She sees more large shapes heading this way as well.

Gille falls over, too. So does Pentar.

Mercy grabs Gille and swims over to the boat, and then casts a twinned levitate spell. Both of them rise out of the water and return to the deck of the ship.

Two crocodiles climb on to the boat. Durge casts crown of madness on the shark. The shark fails the saving throw.

A crocodile jumps onto Gille as he steps onto the deck and it does 17 points to him. Then it swats Mercy with a tail for 12 damage and she falls prone.

Pentar gets back onboard, but falls in the water again. Levity punches the crocodile and stuns it.

Mercy and Gille are both drunk. They cry. Gille barfs on Levity.

Miga drops one of Pentar's fungus things in the water. A shark eats it and turns beige.

Miga is now 10 years old, by the way. The sea monsters are repelled.

Miga hears singing. Coming toward her are two figures. One is a lady fish-person with long hair. The other looks like an angler fish. That's Miga's mom?

Erin: The Angler fish. Vlarin: The fish lady.

Her parents tell her she has completed her trial. They give her a treasure - a family heirloom. It's a key. She puts it in her bag of holding.

Miga goes to her dad's house. He's not home.

The fish-people of the village give Pentar a pot as a reward for helping Miga complete her trial. In it, you can grow an awakened shrub. Pentar is completely grossed out by these people and takes it quickly.

Durge spends some time talking to crabs and snails about the True Death, trying to convince them to die.

Miga hugs her dolls. Time to go. S3-4N waves goodbye both to the heroes and to the fish people. The modron is a bit confused.

Levity wants to give Miga a legit party. The heroes return to Sigil. Some members of the party want to go get cranium rat kebabs.

End of session.
