+- Sailing to the sea mount!
+    - The captain manages to avoid the storm chasing us, and leverage the winds to aid our travel.
+    - We arrive, buff, and dive in! As we approach, we find no fishes or merfolk, but an oil slick on the surface. Getting closer, the oil reveals itself as a Formless Mass and attacks! Initiative!

+        - The place we're heading is three days away.
+
+- We travel!
+    - Chuck takes the Saint Toad statue, and refuses to give it up.
+        - Reggae Tony makes it say it's evil using _Ghost Sound_, but Chuck is amused by it instead of concerned by it.
+        - Chuck names it Jeremiah
+    - We otherwise do nothing and travel. Smooth, calm sailing!
+
+- We arrive at a temporary merfolk camp of the Poagie tribe
+    - Negotiations are mostly successful. The chief sends his daughter and a group to a meeting place. The party returns to Rhyme, and then will continue to the meeting place.
