Savage Tide: Lightless Depths; ECL 11 Garrik von Keizer Wizard 11; Fourth Entry

          Our mission to the Turtle turned out much better then I had hoped. Not only did he accept the bargain he also told us where a main enemy outpost is. We also managed to procure another ally from the Dragon Turtle, to which i am guessing was stuck in the creatures teeth. Do Dragon turtles have teeth? Never mind it does not matter. This fellow is a strange one however. He is a ooze but unlike any I have seen, only read about in compendiums. Regardless the fellow seems incapable of speech even when he assumes a humanoid form, but seems to understand us quite well.

          We have made out way to the pirate cove and are met with a putrid odor of disease and death upon entering the mouth. We were beset by a pestilent animal native to this region, a rather large lizard with what i can only describe as fish-like spines running from neck to tail. It was dispatched easily enough. We were then alerted to the familiar smell and presents of Troglodytes who I'm sure felt save behind a locked iron gate. Our new friend dispelled that illusion. The green Forest Wizard thought it a good idea to use spells on these pitiful creatures. Were it a swarm I would be inclined to follow suit, but being only 5 it did not seem prudent to apply mine own efforts to the problem. It was rather funny when a few of them slipped on the newly formed ice.
