We visit the hobbits and sea temples, in order. Which ends up taking a Heroism every time. So, we then depart for the sea. Heroism roll, difficulty 14 - made it You enter the Temple of Pie, to find that they're eating pie. Stamina +3 You mention that the gnomes are said to also have a god of pie. 'What?' she asks - 'a single god for blueberry and apple?' She laughs at this absurd heresy. You feel a little bit guilty as you look at the hard-working hobbits, some of whom may have had barely four meals today. Heroism -1 You breathe in a mixture of temple incense, sea air and a hint of hidden evil and consider your options.  Heroism roll, difficulty 14 - made it Numen Mari is said to appear as a plume of water in a roughly human shape. Travellers by sea often throw cowrie shells into the water to ensure a safe journey. gain Seafaring blessing You accept the blessing from the priestess, with an uneasy feeling that there may be others more worthy than yourself. Heroism -1  You make your way to the docks where your boat is waiting. You set out to sea. On the horizon, you see what looks like a city. And yet, there's something strange about it. Head towards it Avoid it pre:

Seafaring roll, difficulty 20 - made it The creature, which introduces itself as Cthulhu, listens with fascination to your stories of the sea. At last it says it has to sleep, and you take your leave. Luck +2  You set out to the open sea. But as if they were waiting for you, clouds gather and a storm begins. The sea churns, and the rain is almost a solid wall. Seafaring roll, difficulty 20 - made it Yet you remain steady. You can't see anything through the storm, and you drift for several hours. Abruptly the storm seems to give up. The clouds depart, and you find yourself at Karrakara. The docks at Karrakara have ships from all over the known world, and sometimes beyond. The dockmistress tells you that the fee to dock here is four shells. You protest at this outrageous sum, and she tells you that this allows you to leave your boat here indefinitely. It occurs to you that you could sail to the swamps outside the city and find a deserted spot to hide your boat. We haggle that poo poo down again. Seafaring roll, difficulty 18 - made it Streetwise roll, difficulty 18 - made it Lowering her voice, the dockmistress tells you that she can charge you only two shells.  You reluctantly hand over the shells and custody of your boat, and head into town. lose 2 shells  You spend a shell on a meal and a room. lose 1 shell Stamina roll, difficulty 10 - made it Heroism roll, difficulty 10 - ADVANCED Healing roll, difficulty 20 - failed You consider your next move.

You sail closer to, and eventually into, the heaving water. You suffer no harm. If anything the water is pleasantly warm compared to the sea around. However there is a faint hint of something unpleasant, beyond the sea's normal smell of death and decay. You look into the depths. The churning water seems to extend straight down, as straight as a temple column, until it vanishes into the dark. Dive in and investigate Sail on Cast a spell to reveal what you should do pre:

 You see something shining, like a coin on the sea floor. As you get closer, you see that it's bigger than a coin, and further away than you thought. You think perhaps it's a shield, or a suit of armour. But as you continue downwards and start to make out details, you are shocked to see the whole world below you in the darkness. You notice that several places have their names written next to them, just as in the atlas you read as a child. Presumably, you think, this is so the gods can keep track. Try and figure out how it got there Keep swimming down Swim back to the surface pre:
