The Mud Sorcerer'sTomb

The "Termatoor" drops anchor. Delvin tracks the wererat but the rat must of have jumped overboard so the trail is cold. Meanwhile Sura heads into the water with her water breathing helmet. She finds a glow at the bottom of the ocean and goes to check it out. After further investigation and getting the rest of the party involved, they determine it is the fabled "Mud Sorcerer's Tomb". They decide to investigate. Once they gain access inside, it has breathable air and they find themselves in a chamber with 4 large statues with various weapons in hand. In the center of the room is an empty cauldron. Then a sinister shape shifting undead appears and a battle occurs. They destroy it after an epic battle.

Sura suddenly gets a feeling her daughter on the ship is in trouble and heads back to the surface.

The group determines that the weapons fit into the cauldron and that they open different doors depending on what is inserted. They open up one hallway which is filled with water. Murphy shifts to a water creature but is hit with a horrible water poison that almost kills him, The other path is riddled with swinging blades and also under water. Both hallways have locked doorways at the end.

Sura gets back to the surface and boards the "Termatoor" followed by Delvin. They head to the baby's chambers. Sura swears she saw a strange black mist like aura above the baby briefly as she entered the room. Delvin and the rest of the group investigate and find a pentagram and ward symbols scrawled into the floor boards beneath Sura's baby's crib. Clyde determines it is a summon spell for that nasty devil they dealt with before arriving in Diamond bed city. 

The "Termatoor" arrives at the Free city of Jostlin on Mikas. Everyone is having a great time at shore. The group overhears some type of a commotion with a few locals and their captain "Grekon" at the local pub. They decide to follow the group. The ruffians head towards the "Termatoor" with Greek fire and appear to be ready to destroy it. The group attacks and kills all but one for questioning. The survivor states that the Captain "Grekon" hired them to burn the ship, saying that it was cursed........
